Andrew Davies discusses his memoir An Unsuitable Boy at the Montpellier Gardens Garden Theatre in Cheltenham on 16 October 2026. The 6:30pm event is in conversation with Fiona Lindsay and includes a book signing. Tickets cost £16.
Andrew Davies , the undisputed maestro of literary adaptation finally turns his razor-sharp pen on the most challenging subject of all: himself. He has written his way into British cultural history, from Pride and Prejudice to House of Cards , Bleak House to Bridget Jones . But his own life story is every bit as compelling and chaotic as the characters he’s brought to life. An Unsuitable Boy is a memoir that weaves together wit, irreverence and vulnerability to reflect on a life of writing, loving, adapting, collaborating and surviving. In conversation with Fiona Lindsay . There will be a book signing after this event . Get ahead of your Festival reading and visit the Waterstones Cheltenham Literature Festival bookshop and support Cheltenham Festivals with every purchase.
