A BESTSELLING author will be talking about his new book in an event at Theatre Hullabaloo in Darlington in February.

Tim Marshall, whose book Prisoners of Geography reached number one in the Sunday Times bestsellers list, will be speaking about his new book Divided: Why We're Living in an Age of Walls.

The event, in partnership with Darlington Hippodrome, will encourage audiences to consider how money, race, religion and politics have all become divisive tools in the current social and political climate.

Mr Marshall will be speaking about the new era of tribalism on Monday, February 25 at 8pm.

The event is part of the Royal Geographical Society's Regional Theatres Programme. Tickets are priced £11-13. Visit www.darlingtonhippodrome.co.uk to book.
