Adam Hart & Jess Robinson: War Stories

World War Two defined the last century; now two writers bring their relatives’ compelling experiences to Henley. In Operation Pimento Adam Hart retraces the perilous 108-day escape made by his great- grandfather - the sole survivor of a secret RAF mission - via a brothel attic, a Spanish prison and a Frenchwoman’s chimney. In Life is Rosi actor Jess Robinson shares diaries aged 23 of herself and her German Jewish grandmother, who interned as a refugee in Poland having been expelled from her homeland.

Adam and Jess will be in conversation with Mick Brown.
