Alan Cumming: Unpacking a Life

Open University

One of Scotland’s favourite entertainers, Alan Cumming proved his command of the written word was just as strong as his command of the stage in 2014, when he became a New York Times bestselling author. His most recent book, Baggage, takes us through his acting career, from the stages of Aberfeldy to the screens of Hollywood. Join him for a thoroughly entertaining hour.
