Name: Posting Letters to the Moon
Start: 2024-10-27T18:00:00+01:00
Location: The Old Court, St Leonard's Road, SL4 3BL Windsor, United Kingdom

For one performance only, Posting Letters to the Moon will be staged at The Old Court in Windsor.
The production is a romantic, funny and very touching portrait of life during the second World War featuring readings of letters between Oscar-nominated actress Celia Johnson (Brief Encounter) and her explorer and writer husband Peter Fleming (brother of James Bond creator Ian Fleming) posted to India and the Far East during the war working for Military Intelligence.
Not only are the letters highly engaging, but they also provide a fascinating historical insight into that time of true austerity and fearfulness.
The letters are read by their daughter Lucy Fleming (Love Sarah, Survivors) and her husband Simon Williams (Justin in The Archers, EastEnders, Upstairs Downstairs) and give an insight into a young mother’s life coping during the war and tell of Celia Johnson’s experience of filming with Noël Coward, David Lean and her thoughts while making the classic film Brief Encounter in 1945.
A screening of Brief Encounter will follow the performance.
Reviews:
"It is an evening that will charm you, intrigue you and make you laugh, cry and remember the terror and trivia of life during WWII" - Joanna Lumley
"One is transported into a world of elegance, self-deprecation and bravery. It’s a masterclass in letter-writing; alive and observant, moving and gripping. It is utterly bewitching from start to finish – catch it if you can" - Maureen Lipman
"A hugely enjoyable entertainment with wit, charm and tenderness that touches the heart" - Eileen Atkins
