 Fidelis Morgan and Celia Imrie promise to deliver a dynamite evening quite unlike any usual author appearance. You will have readings from 17th century plays, extracts from the humorous Countess de la Zouche  novels, a Restoration acting lesson, some seventeenth century recipes, and they will end with a little sing-song, a Q&A and signing of whatever you care to buy or bring along...

FIDELIS MORGAN ( author of the Countess Ashby de la Zouche historical mystery series) is an actress as well as playwright, novelist, and scholar. She has published 15 books, fiction and non-fiction, which are translated all over the world. She frequently gives university talks on life in Restoration London, having been responsible for the rediscovery and revival of the female playwrights who worked in London between 1660 and 1720. Fidelis has been seen on US TV in Jeeves and Wooster, As Time Goes By and Dead Gorgeous. She has received nominations for her acting from The Observer and her novel, The Rival Queens, was nominated for a Lefty Award at Left Coast Crime.  http://www.fidelismorgan.com 

CELIA IMRIE  Described by The Times as one of the most successful British actresses of recent decades, Olivier Award-winning  Celia Imrie  is probably best known as one of the naked Calendar Girls in the 2003 British comedy film (with Helen Mirren & Julie Walters).   She has appeared in many films from Hilary & Jackie, Brigit Jones Diary to Highlander and Star Wars - The Phantom Menace. On TV she has featured in cult series from Absolutely Fabulous and Stephen Fry's Kingdom to Return to Cranford. On stage Celia had a huge off-Broadway hit a few years back with her one-woman show Unsuspecting Susan.  Celia also gave a searing performance as Vera in the TV production of Ruth Rendell's A Dark Adapted Eye. Now Celia is involved in the TV production of Fidelis Morgan's Countess Ashby dela Zouche historical mystery novels.
