Esther Freud
ABOUT THE SHOW
Esther Freud, author of Hideous Kinky, has long drawn inspiration from her intellectual, bohemian pedigree in her vividly imagined and emotionally incisive novels.
As the great-granddaughter of psychologist Sigmund Freud, niece of politician and chef Sir Clement Raphael Freud, daughter of painter Lucian Freud, and sister of fashion designer Bella Freud (to name but a few of her familial connections), she has a lot of material to work with.
Freud’s latest work examines the bond of sisterhood, exploring with characteristic insight the unique intensity of devotion and rivalry, as her protagonists move from adolescence to adulthood.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Esther Freud is the author of nine previous novels, and her work has been translated into thirteen languages. Her first novel Hideous Kinky was made into a film starring Kate Winslet. After publishing her second book she was selected as one of Granta’s Best Young British Novelists.
Her other novels include The Sea House, Mr Mac and Me, and I Couldn’t Love You More. Freud’s first full length play, Stitchers, was produced in London in 2018 and her new book, My Sister and Other Lovers, will be published in July 2025.
