My Black And Deep Desires

August 26, 8.30pm-9.30pm Norwegian author Jo Nesbo has been a footballer, a financial analyst and the lead singer of a chart-topping band in his homeland, but it’s his celebrated career as a best-selling crime novelist which has made him a household name. After penning a series of books on Oslo detective Harry Hole, Nesbo has turned his attention to a story a little bit closer to our own homeland – a reworking of Macbeth. Listen to Nesbo as he discusses his fresh take on Shakespeare’s famous play.
