Posting Letters to the Moon
Drama | Seated
Wartime letters between the actress Celia Johnson and her husband Peter Fleming read by their daughter, Lucy Fleming, with Simon Williams.
These touching and amusing letters from Celia to her husband, Peter, tell of her experiences during the war – coping with a large isolated house full of evacuated children, learning to drive a tractor, becoming an Auxiliary Policewoman, grappling with the mysteries of cooking - all the while accepting offers, to act – for David Lean, Noel Coward films, broadcasts, and ultimately in 1945 starring in the classic film Brief Encounter.
Peter Fleming was away for most of the war - he writes about his adventures and trials working on deception in India and the Far East.
Not only are the letters highly engaging, but they also provide a fascinating historical insight into that time of true austerity and fearfulness.
