Unique film designs on display

Posted by Thorpe Players on May 5, 09 06:13 PM in Clubs/societies

Carve Her Name with PrideMargaret_Robinson.jpg is one of the all-time classic war movies, starring Virginia McKenna as Violet Szabo. Local resident, Margaret Robinson, has kept the original designs for this film that were done by her late husband Bernard, and they will on display for the first time at The Chertsey Hall on Sunday 17th May.

There will also be an illustrated exploration of the work of Special Operations Executive and agents such as Szabo and Odette Sansom by Dr. Mark Baldwin, who has had access to recently released information. The SOE trained over 9000 agents between 1940 and 1946, many in undisclosed locations in Surrey and Middlesex, and they worked not just in Europe, but in the Far East and Africa. Doors open at 7.00pm and the tickets for this joint event cost £10 and are bookable on 01483 811923 or on the door.
