Details

How to Lose Friends and Alienate People is based on Toby Young's hilarious bestseller about his disastrous stint as a Vanity Fair editor in New York. The book has been adapted for the stage by Tim Fountain, writer of Julie Burchill is Away and Resident Alien, and Jack Davenport stars as Toby Young (This Life, Coupling and The Talented Mr Ripley). In 1995, high-flying British journalist Toby Young left London for New York to become a contributing editor at Vanity Fair. Other Brits had taken Manhattan -Aistair Cooke, Tina Brown, Anna Wintour- so why couldn't he? Surely, it would only be a matter of time before the Big Apple was in the palm of his hand. Don t miss this side-splitting account of Toby Young s embarrassingly rapid descent down the New York food chain, from glossy magazine editor to crash-test dummy for interactive sex toys.
