Hannah Murray in Conversation with Jessie Cave
Crosstown Concerts
Join Hannah Murray (star of Skins and Game of Thrones) live as she celebrates the publication of her shockingly honest, intimate and compulsive memoir ‘The Make-Believe: A Memoir of Magic & Madness’. In this one-off exclusive event at Kings Place, she will be joined by Jessie Cave, sharing her inspiring story of empathy, resilience and the power of belief.
From the actor known for Skins and Game of Thrones, a deeply intimate, shockingly honest memoir about acting, fame, mental illness and the struggle to leave a cult-like organisation whose belief in magic shattered Hannah’s reality.
Hannah Murray was a successful actor whose career had taken her to Hollywood, acting with A list stars and Oscar-winning directors. But as the daily costs of acting grew, Hannah found herself searching for something to make her feel better. One day, a reiki healer promises her a new kind of treatment, a kind of magic, and all of a sudden Hannah’s life is changed.
Back in London, she becomes increasingly involved with the organisation behind the magic, whose charismatic leader, promises of secret knowledge, and increasingly complex rituals, are seductive, cult-like – and ultimately destructive, as her sanity falls apart. Detained in hospital, she struggles to understand the difference between what’s real and what’s imagined.
From Hollywood sets and London parties, Hannah’s life has slowly moved from successful starlet to a young woman seduced by the magical thinking of an organisation promising health and happiness beyond her wildest dreams, but her reality becomes far more disturbing than she could ever have imagined.
Jessie Cave is a talented actress, writer and illustrator who is best known for playing ‘Lavender Brown’ in the Harry Potter films. Jessie’s debut novel Sunset went straight to the number one spot in the Time Bestsellers list and was labelled ‘Heartbreaking, funny and bittersweet … A phenomenal debut that is impossible to put down’ by Dolly Alderton.
This event will last approximately 75 minutes, without an interval. This event is restricted to ages 16+ due to the nature of the content.
‘Lyrical, powerful … an utterly exceptional memoir’ Elizabeth Day
‘Extraordinary, propulsive, immersive … like nothing I have ever read before’ Dolly Alderton
‘A memoir of real literary power … fascinating and uniquely compelling’ Naoise Dolan
‘Intensely open-hearted and lyrical … a stunning achievement’ Sophie Mackintosh
