Richard E Grant has confirmed a second night at Richmond Theatre with his show An Evening with Richard E Grant.
Since his breakout role in cult classic film Withnail and I in 1987, Grant has starred in series such as Doctor Who, Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones, and films including Star Wars, Spice World and his Oscar-nominated turn in 2018’s Can You Ever Forgive Me?
On stage, he will now tell stories from his life, entwining tales from his extraordinary time in showbiz with uplifting reflections on love and loss, to celebrate the publication of his new book, A Pocketful of Happiness.
Live on stage, Richard will consider the inspiration behind the book – how, when his beloved wife Joan died in 2021 after almost 40 years together, she set him a challenge: to find a pocketful of happiness in every day. He found the instruction to be profoundly powerful, and this new book, drawing on both contemporary stories and recollections of his remarkable life and glittering career, is Richard’s way of honouring that challenge.
An Evening with Richard E Grant will be staged at Richmond Theatre on May 30-31.
