Andy Serkis has spent four decades disappearing into characters nobody else could play. He created the iconic character Gollum, built Caesar’s emotional arc, played King Kong twice over, brought Ulysses Klaue to life in Black Panther, voiced Supreme Leader Snoke and, most recently, played Alfred opposite Robert Pattinson in The Batman.
In celebration of the release of his book My Pressures, Andy will take you behind the scenes, sharing new insights into what it’s really like to create films with some the world’s largest franchises; Lord of the Rings, Planet of the Apes, Marvel, Star Wars, and give you an inside peak into his latest endeavour as director and star of The Hunt for Gollum.
Live on stage like you’ve never seen him before, Andy will tell his own story. He’ll share tales about his early days as an actor and how he moved into the man who revolutionised performance-capture acting, creating some of the world’s most-loved characters. But Andy’s story goes beyond his own life. It’s a tale that’s a bit… different. Countless other lives, real and imaginary, entwined with his own—the strange cast of creatures who have shaped him as much as he shaped them.
Andy invites us into a genre-defying conversation between actor and character, imagination, and reality, with time for your own questions before the night is through.
