Posting Letters to The Moon
About
A romantic, touching portrait of life during the Second World War bringing to life the private letters between the actress and SPGS alumna Celia Johnson (Brief Encounter) and her husband Peter Fleming, read by their daughter Lucy Fleming and Simon Williams.These amusing letters tell of Celia’s experiences during the war – from coping with a large, isolated house full of evacuated children to learning to drive a tractor-while accepting offers, when she could get away, to act. In 1945 Celia starred in the classic film Brief Encounter and the letters reveal her thoughts and experiences during the filming.
Peter Fleming (brother of James Bond creator Ian Fleming) writes about his adventures working for Military Intelligence overseas.
The evening will provide a fascinating historical insight into that time of true austerity and fearfulness.
Performed by Lucy Fleming (Love Sarah, Miranda in The Archers) and her husband Simon Williams (Upstairs Downstairs, Justin in The Archers, EastEnders).
