Young Again
Contains strong language.

Available for over a year

Kirsty Young talks to the artist Sir Grayson Perry about what he鈥檚 learned from his life so far. Once cross-dressing punk rebel, now ennobled member of the British establishment, Grayson Perry鈥檚 extraordinary life has given him plenty of material to inspire his art. He reflects on how his traumatic childhood resulted in him retreating into a rich fantasy world and considers whether he would have been given the freedom to explore it artistically had he been starting out today. If you could have a conversation with your younger self, what would you tell them? In Young Again Kirsty takes her guests back to the pivotal moments in their lives. Reflecting on what they wish they鈥檇 known at the time, and what they鈥檝e learned along the way, she discovers the honest 鈥� and surprising 鈥� advice they鈥檇 give their younger selves.
