ASK director chairs flagship Festival panel

Ben Quash, Director of ASK, convened and chaired one of the flagship events of this year’s Arts and Humanities Festival at King’s, bringing the celebrated actor and director Richard Ayoade into conversation with former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams. 

Ayoade and Williams admitted that they have long been admirers of one another’s work, but this was their first meeting, and with the help of Professor Max Saunders and Dr Catherine Wheatley of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at King’s they engaged in a fascinating discussion of the issues raised in Ayoade’s recent adaptation of the Dostoevsky novella The Double.
