The past is never really past—it’s right here, shaping our world in ways we don’t always see. Now, for the first time live on stage, William Dalrymple and Anita Anand bring their chart-topping podcast Empire to audiences across the UK.

Join them for an evening of epic storytelling, sharp insights, and plenty of laughs as they dive into the empires that made our world—from ancient dynasties to modern superpowers. How did Buddhism spread across Asia? Why does Putin believe Russia should rule Ukraine? What’s the real story behind Iran’s influence in the Middle East? The past isn’t as distant as it seems.

Expect big stories, brilliant banter, and a few surprises as William and Anita bring history to life like never before.
