About An Evening With: Sir Alexander McCall Smith
One of the world’s most prolific and best-loved authors, McCall Smith’s The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series has sold over twenty million copies in the English language alone.
Join us for an exclusive one-time event in our 'Evening with...' fundraising series, where you'll gain a unique and personal insight into Sir Sandy’s writing and career. Be ready to ask your most pressing questions during the interactive Q&A session that follows.
VIP tickets are not only the best seats in the house, but include a meet and greet in the Henry Irving Room from 6pm for a chance to chat with the author. Included in this ticket is also a glass of prosecco or orange juice.
"McCall Smith’s generous writing and dry humor, his gentleness and humanity, and his ability to evoke a place and a set of characters without caricature or condescension have endeared his books to readers"
— New York Times
All profits go to The Royal Lyceum Theatre Company Ltd, a charity registered in Scotland number SC010509.
