WoW Talks at the Southbank

Women of the World festival is back at the Southbank for its 10th year and as always there are some excellent talks to book. As fans of Natasha Lunn’s newsletter Conversations on Love we’re interested to hear her live on stage talking to Susie Orbach, renowned psychotherapist (to Princess Diana amongst others) about modern love on Friday 6 March. Vogue editor Edward Enninful OBE will be in conversation with WoW founder Jude Kelly on Saturday 7 March discussing the topic Forces for Change alongside guests Salma Hayek, Fatima Bhutto, Christiane Amanpour, Sarah Harris, Julia Gillard, Sinéad Burke and Paris Lees. And on International Women’s Day on Sunday 8th March there will be a special female edition of Letters Live with a whole evening dedicated to letters by or for women. One of the exciting things about Letters Live is they keep the performers secret until they walk on stage – previous events have involved Olivia Coleman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Kylie Minogue, Gillian Anderson and Nick Cave, so it’s sure to be a good line-up. These are just three of the festival’s many talks and workshops – find the full program here. If you like the sound of lots of things and want to dip in and out, then buy a Day Pass for £40 otherwise individual tickets can be found for each event.
