An Evening with the cast and crew from Disney+ Original series “Shardlake” at Waterstones Piccadilly

We are thrilled to be joined by the cast and crew of Disney+ Original series “Shardlake” for an in-conversation event celebrating the new eerie whodunnit adventure based on the works of C. J. Sansom, available to stream now on the platform. We will be joined by cast members Arthur Hughes and Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, as well as Stevie Lee, executive producer, of Shardlake. 

Beginning with Dissolution, C. J. Sansom’s incredible historical mystery traces the progress of lawyer Matthew Shardlake from 1537 as he is drawn into investigating a series of complex cases that bring him ever closer to the machinations of the Tudor court.

“Shardlake” is the thrilling Tudor murder-mystery based on the internationally popular novels by C.J. Sansom, adapted by Stephen Butchard and directed by Justin Chadwick. After one of Cromwell's commissioners is brutally murdered, Matthew Shardlake is drawn into an investigation that becomes darker than he could have ever imagined.

Dissolution is the first novel in C. J. Sansom’s phenomenal bestselling Shardlake series, perfect for fans of Hilary Mantel and Phillipa Gregory. England, 1537; It is a time of revolution that sees the greatest changes in England since 1066. Henry VIII has proclaimed himself Supreme Head of the Church. The country is waking up to savage new laws, rigged trials and the greatest network of informers it has ever seen. And under the orders of Thomas Cromwell, a team of commissioners is sent throughout the country to investigate the monasteries. There can only be one outcome: dissolution. But on the Sussex coast, at the monastery of Scarnsea, events have spiraled out of control. Cromwell's commissioner, Robin Singleton, has been found dead, his head severed from his body.

Please note: Book + Ticket option includes a copy of the Shardlake series edition of Dissolution (RRP £10.99) and will be available for collection on the night.
