In this year's Weinrebe lecture, Professor Dame Hermione Lee talks about Tom Stoppard's life and work, and the challenges for a biographer in writing the life of a living subject. 

The biography of Tom Stoppard was published by Faber & Faber on 1 October. With unprecedented access to private papers, diaries, letters, and countless interviews with figures ranging from Felicity Kendal to John Boorman and Trevor Nunn to Steven Spielberg, Hermione Lee has built a meticulously researched portrait of one of our greatest playwrights. 

This online lecture will be available for 24 hours only between 5.30pm on 3 November and 5.30pm on 4 November on the OCLW Podcast Channel
