Ivo Van Hove | In Conversation | Manchester International Festival

In this one-off lunchtime event at #MIF19, presented association with Guardian Live, Ivo van Hove spoke to Michael Billington, The Guardian’s theatre critic, about his life and work. Ivo van Hove is one of the world’s greatest theatre directors. Alongside sell-out shows in the West End (All About Eve) and on Broadway (Network, a production that originated at London’s National Theatre), Van Hove brought his work to Manchester for the first time as part of MIF19. The Festival was proud to present the UK premiere of his gripping and controversial adaptation of Ayn Rand’s novel The Fountainhead, a major inspiration for libertarian politicians on both sides of the Atlantic, and Re:Creating Europe, a specially conceived project exploring our continent through the speeches and texts that have shaped, traced and defined its history and featuring the award-winning actor Juliet Stevenson.
