Grant Stott  talks to Scottish writer Rona Munro about her new play, The Last Witch.

Grant Stott  talks to Scottish writer Rona Munro about her new play, The Last Witch. Plus author Simon Garfield.

Grant Stott will be talking to the brilliant Scottish Writer RONA MUNRO About her new play, THE LAST WITCH.  It’s based on the true story of the Witch of Dornoch in the North East Highlands, the last witch to be legally executed for witchcraft in Britain!!  

Author SIMON GARFIELD will be on hand  to discuss his new book, IN MINIATURE - a delightful, entertaining and illuminating investigation into our peculiar fascination with making things small, and what small things tell us about the world at large! He reveals the secret histories of tiny Eiffel Towers, the truth about the flea circus, a doll’s house made for a Queen, eerie tableaux of crime scenes, miniature food, model villages and railways, and more….

Grant will also be chatting to Chris Lang -  the writer and producer of over one hundred hours of prime time British drama, his most recent being Innocent (the second highest rated new drama on ITV this year) and the totally addictive Unforgotten. Chris has penned the new ITV drama Dark Heart (starring Tom Riley) which is due to air later this month.

He will also have music and conversation with STEVE KILBEY  - front man of Legendary Australian Rock Band THE CHURCH – who  will be talking about the band’s new album and tour  - they  are playing live at Edinburgh Liquid Rooms on 2nd November!
  
And TOBY SEBASTIAN: perhaps best  known for his role as TRYSTANE MARTELL on GAME OF THRONES; he  may have found his breakthrough role with his portrayal of the central character based on musical icon, ANDREA BOCELLI in THE MUSIC OF SILENCE. (The film is released on DVD and digital 29 October.)
