Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Serenti. Today's episode is part one of our recent live event with actor, writer, director and producer Lena Dunham, the remarkable mind behind the hit series Girls and Too Much, and the best-selling author of Not That kind of girl, Dunham joined us at the Hackney Empire in London to discuss fame, creativity, and the personal cost of success. In conversation with author, screenwriter and columnist Dolly Alderton, Dunham drew on her new memoir FameSick to reflect on a life shaped by ambition, illness, and public scrutiny, asking what it means to pursue success and how
to live with its consequences. A brief content warning. This episode contains some strong language and adult themes. Let's join the discussion now live at the Hackney Empire. Thank you guys so much.
This is very lovely and moving and I hear the cheers of an audience. I haven't fucked anyone in it. And that's that's what that is. That's people who can be happy for you in a pure way. Um, I'm so delighted to be here with you in my new home of England.
