Andy Serkis talks with film critic Mark Kermode about his career and the release of his memoir 'My Pressures', with every ticket including a hardback copy of the book.
Andy Serkis is coming to the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on Sunday 15 November, for an evening in conversation with film critic Mark Kermode. It's a one-off night marking the release of his first memoir, My Pressures: The Bizarrely True Story of Andy Serkis, which came out on 5 November.
Most of us know Serkis as the man who disappears into the roles no one else can touch. He's spent four decades doing exactly that: he created Gollum for The Lord of the Rings, built Caesar's emotional arc across Planet of the Apes, played King Kong twice, brought Ulysses Klaue to life in Black Panther, voiced Supreme Leader Snoke in Star Wars, and played Alfred opposite Robert Pattinson in The Batman. He's a Ruislip born-and-bred Londoner and a Lancaster University graduate who went on to become a pioneer of performance-capture acting, and in 2011 he co-founded The Imaginarium studio in Ealing.
My Pressures sets his own life alongside the characters that shaped him, and the evening follows that lead. He'll be taking the audience behind the scenes of some of the world's biggest franchises, and he's also talking about his latest project, The Hunt for Gollum, which he's directing and starring in. Every ticket includes a hardback copy of the book, so you'll leave with the memoir under your arm.
