Sarah Siddons grew up always poor and often hungry. But before she was 30 she had become a superstar. Her rise was not easy. Her London debut, aged just 20, was a disaster. But the young actress – already a mother of two – rebuilt her career, returning triumphantly to the capital seven years later. Her shows were sell-outs. In a world of vicious satire and gossip, Sarah battled to protect her reputation. She took constant pains to portray herself as a wife and mother, but this hid some darker truths. This remarkable woman also redefined the world of theatre and became the first celebrity actress.

The talk starts at 6.30pm, doors open from 6.15pm.
