Candace Bushnell
Conversational and accessible on stage; there's a wonder and humility to her tone even as she settles behind the velvet ropes of high society, which makes her endearing rather than alienating to those looking on from the outside

The Real Life Tales Behind Sex And The City
Candace Bushnell, a.k.a. the real-life Carrie Bradshaw, brings her hit show True Tales of Sex, Success and Sex And The City on tour around the UK! In a gripping one-woman show, the celebrated author of Sex and the City guides the audience through New York City, regaling you with, in essence, an onstage biography with the real-world tales that spawned the iconic show.
Stemming from Bushnell's New York Observer column, Sex and the City was not only a multi-award-winning hit show, but became a genuine cultural moment, defining and reshaping human relationships throughout the 90s and 2000s. This show traces Candace's modest, cash-strapped beginnings in NYC right up to the prestige of features with Variety, The New York Times and Oprah, with everything in between. Transformed into an engaging stage production, the writer's life story is a fascinating insight into the authenticity of Sex And The City.
