Alexandra Palace was a prison camp for 3,000 civilian men from 1915 to 1919. A multi-voice, illustrated presentation of the book Ally Pally Prison Camp at the Torriano Meeting House tells this moving story in the men's own words from letters and memoirs, with evocative photographs, plus full colour paintings by internee George Kenner and poems by Maggie Butt.
'This haunting mélange of words and pictures movingly conveys a forgotten story of hurt and injustice.' Juliet Gardiner, Historian and Writer.
Also come with your own poem to read, 'from the floor.'
After the open mike, Maggie Butt will read from her illustrated book Sancti Clandestini: Undercover Saints, with an exhibition of some of the glorious illustrations.
