About this event

To celebrate the release of her brand-new book, Sunday Times Bestselling author Caitlin Moran will be heading out on tour accompanied by special guest hosts. ''No one's inventing good, new futures any more,' I say to my husband, Pete. 'Everyone seems resigned to accepting that things will be dreadful. I can't bear it. I need us to do something different.'' How to be Hopeful is Caitlin's story of how, over the course of a year, she realised that 'waiting to feel hopefully again' just won't work; being hopeful is a decision. It's something- like laundry- you have to do. How To Be Hopeful is the diary of how one person started to do hopeful. Caitlin Moran published her first novel at 16 and became a columnist at The Times at 18. She has won Columnist of the Year seven times and has also been named Interviewer and Critic of the Year. Her million-selling, groundbreaking feminist memoir, How to Be a Woman, was voted one of the Sunday Times' 'Most Important Books of the Twenty-First Century.'

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar theatre still playing in Edinburgh this week.

This venue’s world

This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.

Traditions this room works in

Tags on the venue. Other Edinburgh rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.

Also playing this week

Same kind of night (theatre) in Edinburgh. Spread across the week, not a ranking.

A different kind of night

Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
