About this event
Arthur Quiller-Couch, Cornwall’s most distinguished 20th Century novelist, always known as ‘Q,’ was much admired by Charles Causley. Q’s many accomplishments and gilded career have been ably documented by two biographers. Two male biographers. How different would the perspective on the eminent man be were his story recounted by the women closest to him? This is the question lying behind Julia Grigg’s novel in progress and her choice of Mabel, Q’s sister, also a writer, as her main character. Julia’s presentation describes the exploration her fictional account makes of this somewhat vexed sibling relationship, and reveals they shared a dark secret as Q faced down a personal crisis, she also hints at what may have spurred him on to achieve fame in the way he did.
Julia will be joined on stage by actor Kim Hicks speaking in Mabel’s voice. Kim is a Bristol-based specialist in historical re-enactment.
