Abi Morgan OBE is the BAFTA and Emmy-winning playwright and screenwriter who created the BBC’s rave series The Split, The Iron Lady, Suffragette, The Hour and much more. She shifts from screen to page for her first book This Is Not A Pity Memoir, and we were thrilled to have the world premiere at a very special Literary Salon.

Poignant and heart-breaking but resolutely unwilling to rely on sentimental platitudes, Abi’s memoir about a tragic change in her family circumstances is a profoundly powerful and perceptive read on love, grief and the eternal promise of hope.

Abi joined us at The London Library on 5th May 2022 to share a very powerful reading and conversation with Damian Barr. Not to be missed!
