We hope you'll take
The Opportunity to join us at our next meeting, on Monday 4 April - the last Monday in the month (our usual fixture) of March being a Bank Holiday, we're moving it to the week after. Will Volley, who studied illustration at the University of Brighton, and was a Cartoon County regular in its early days, is now coming to be our guest on 4 April to talk about his debut graphic novel with local publisher Myriad. Not, as previously advertised, at the Northern Lights, but at
The Iron Duke, 3 Waterloo Street, Brighton.
The Opportunity, a masterpiece of graphic noir, follows the trials of salesman Colin as he becomes a victim of his own positive thinking. As his sales team desert him in the face of impossible targets, we see Colin's grip on reality fading amid the rain-lashed estates of Hastings. Based on Will's own encounters within this unregulated industry,
The Opportunity is a graphic version of Arthur Miller's
Death of a Salesman, and David Mamet's
Glengarry Glen Ross.
Keep that date: Monday 4 April from 6pm until late. Alex Fitch will be interviewing Will at 7.30pm, at The Iron Duke, 3 Waterloo Street, BN3 1AQ.
