Jack's life changes just at the moment he is entering those dizzying years when he will transition from boy to man; when nothing makes sense at the best of times.Yet Jack is not alone. Enveloped as he is by his extended family - his ferociously loving Nana; Grandad, given to sudden bursts of rage; his earthy uncles Haulie and Theo who want to show him what it means to be a man, and the irascible JJ who resents him deeply. Then there is beautiful aunt Rose, whose mere presence ignites every atom in his changing body.But how can a boy with so many questions, in a family with so many secrets, understand the person he is becoming? Without his mother to ground him on the earth, will he spin off into the stars?Donal will be in conversation followed by an audience Q&A and signing. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/birmingham/an-evening-with-donal-ryan-birmingham/100001991923940126 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Waterstones - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 5, max: 21, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Birmingham - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Waterstones - **lat**: 52.478734 - **long**: -1.894699 - **full address**: Waterstones, 24-26 High Street, Birmingham, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Donal Ryan - Birmingham - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/d57a8e26da07e0a88d39a6816bd5d23144c99de5553188c5475a87009c04c806-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf3f3f3-gmir.jpg?v=1782027970 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening with Donal Ryan - Birmingham being held? - **A:** An Evening with Donal Ryan - Birmingham takes place on Mon, 07 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Mon, 07 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Waterstones, 24-26 High Street, Birmingham, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing An Evening with Donal Ryan - Birmingham? - **A:** An Evening with Donal Ryan - Birmingham is organized by Waterstones. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Waterstones's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Waterstones a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
