Journalists On Stage

Curated and presented by The Independent columnist & BBC presenter Steve Richards

You read their columns and their Tweets. You see and hear them on the TV and Radio. Now you have a unique opportunity to see some of our best journalists live on stage. Join Polly Toynbee, John Pienaar, Mihir Bose and Steve Richards for four nights in which they will give their views on journalism, politics, sport and current affairs and you can question them too.
