About the show
Dame Judi Dench has won every award the profession can bestow. She has played queens and murderers, mothers and monsters, Shakespeare's heroines and the most powerful woman in British intelligence. Yet throughout a career spanning more than seventy years, a single question has followed her into every rehearsal room: is it too late to make a run for it?
In this intimate, joyful, and utterly disarming evening, Judi joins her friend and writing partner Brendan O'Hea in conversation about her extraordinary new memoir—over ninety years in the making, and unlike anything she has shared before.
Join Judi as she lifts the curtain on cherished memories and hilarious anecdotes from seven decades of performing with some of the greatest names in theatre and film. Step behind the camera as she reprises her most famous roles, such as M in James Bond, Iris Murdoch, and Queen Victoria. Walk with her through her garden as we meet the real Judi, surrounded by the home she made with her beloved late husband Michael.
Featuring
