SUMMARY:Charles I and the Civil Wars: The World Turned Upside Down
DESCRIPTION:At 2 pm\, on Tuesday 30 January 1649\, King Charles I stepped onto a wooden scaffold outside Whitehall’s Banqueting House\, knelt in front of thousands of spectators and was publicly beheaded as a traitor. It was the brutal climax of years of civil war\, which had seen tens of thousands of people lose their lives and livelihoods as the kingdoms of England\, Wales\, Scotland and Ireland were plunged into chaos. \nIn this fascinating collaboration with the Museum of London Docklands and HistFest\, bestselling authors Jessie Childs and Leanda de Lisle\, and critically acclaimed playwright and history teacher Thabo Stuck will explore the complex events that led to the fateful moment of Charles’s execution. From the sweeping history of the civil wars and the human stories of debates\, battles and sieges to the mood within the royal court\, the character of Charles I himself\, the resilience of his wife Henrietta Maria\, and the decade-long republican rule that followed. \nIncluding music from Thabo Stuck’s critically acclaimed play\, #50Days\, a panel discussion and immersive re-enactment from the English Civil War Society\, discover the realities of a world turned upside down. There will be an opportunity to purchase the authors’ books at the end of the talk. \nThere are also digital tickets available to watch a livestream of the event. \n  \nAbout \nThabo Stuck is a history teacher from London and the creator and writer of #50Days. #50Days\, Thabo’s debut writing project\, is a Grime Musical that tells the story of the period that leads up to the outbreak of the 17th Century British Civil Wars. Using Grime music\, this show gives underrepresented Brits a voice in telling the story of one of the most integral but often misunderstood narratives of our nation. Described by The Independent as ‘a hurtling exploration of politics and revolution’. \nJessie Childs is an award-winning author\, historian and broadcaster. Her first book\, Henry VIII’s Last Victim\, won the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography\, and her second\, God’s Traitors\, won the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize for History. Her third book\, The Siege of Loyalty House: A Civil War Story\, was published in May and hailed by Simon Schama as ‘almost Tolstoyan in its emotional intelligence and literary power’. Jessie reviews for many papers\, including the Sunday Times\, Guardian and London Review of Books\, and her TV contributions include the BAFTA-nominated Elizabeth I’s Secret Agents (BBC 2 & PBS) and two BBC series on Charles I. \nLeanda de Lisle is the author of the bestselling Tudor and Stuart history praised for meticulous research as well as strong narratives. She has a Masters degree in history from Oxford University. TUDOR\, her biography of the Tudor family 1437-1603\, was a top ten Sunday Times bestseller\, BBC History book of the year\, Daily Telegraph book of the year\, and History Today book of the year. THE SISTERS WHO WOULD BE QUEEN; THE TRAGEDY OF MARY\, KATHERINE AND LADY JANE GREY\, was a New York Times best seller and is the inspiration for Phillippa Gregory’s 2017 novel THE LAST TUDOR as well as Elizabeth Fremantle’s Sisters of Treason. WHITE KING\, a biography of the doomed Charles I\, was the winner of the 2018 Historical Writers Association non-fiction crown. Her latest\, on Henrietta Maria\, is a revisionist biography of a reviled queen and a Times and Sunday Times book of the year. \n  \nHistFest is an innovative history festival and events company\, which produces online and in-person events and courses for global audiences. \nThe English Civil War Society bring history to life through the authentic re-creation of 17th-century military and civil life\, stimulating interest in the turbulent period in British history when the country was torn apart by civil war. \n

SUMMARY:Ear – the book behind a Czech film legend
DESCRIPTION:A book launch & film screening of the Czech film classic Ear.\n \nTo mark the publishing of a first English translation of Jan Procházka’s masterpiece Ear\, David Vaughan and Peter Hames discuss both the book and the film\, followed by a screening of the 1970 classic\, considered one of the greatest of all Czech films. \nThe Ear – Ucho in Czech – was the culmination of ten years of fruitful cooperation between the director Karel Kachyňa and screenwriter Jan Procházka. It is set in the period of the Stalinist purges in 1950s Czechoslovakia. A senior government official Ludvík and his wife Anna come back from a drunken party at the ministry to find that their house has been bugged. A gripping psychological drama follows\, as they await a knock on the door. \nThe novella Ear is perhaps Jan Procházka’s greatest work. He was one of the most popular and prolific Czech writers of the 1960s\, closely identified with the reforms and growing artistic freedoms of the time. It combines the economy of Hemingway with the tension of Hitchcock\, set in a stifling totalitarian environment. \nFor the first time Ear has been published in English – by Karolinum Press in a translation by Mark Corner. \nDavid Vaughan\, who wrote the afterword to the new edition\, is a writer\, broadcaster\, journalist and university lecturer. \nPeter Hames is a film historian and Visiting Professor in Film Studies at Staffordshire University.

SUMMARY:Compositor E
DESCRIPTION:It is 1623\, and 17-year old John has come to London to work as an apprentice typesetter\, under the mentorship of printer Isaac Jaggard. But while he’s desperate to develop his craft\, it’s becoming apparent that John is suffering from some kind of trauma. And with a potentially game-changing new commission on his hands\, Isaac does not have time for emotions. \nHaving persuaded Isaac to let him progress to setting from a confusing manuscript of ‘Macbeth’\, John’s trauma begins to spill out onto the print shop floor. Why were those men so scared of his mother? And why are these children scurrying around with sheets of drying ink called… ‘devils’? \nA play about the hidden fingerprints of history – produced in conjunction with the 400th anniversary of the publication of the First Folio – that asks who the storytellers really are.

Based on extensive historical research and powerful storytelling\, the novel traces a community of ‘goddesses‘\, female healers in the White Carpathians\, pursued by both Nazis and Communists. Masterfully weaving together fact\, folklore\, and fiction and oscillating between past and present while exploring the extraordinary history of goddesses\, Tučková incisively and with great panache comments on Czech society throughout the 20th century.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA book launch and conversation with Katerina Tučková and Dr Rajendra Chitnis\n\nKateřina Tučková is a leading Czech writer\, playwright\, art historian and curator.

They knew how to heal people and help them in misery\, they knew how to cope with trouble\, and they could see the future. The so-called Žítková goddesses passed down their abilities from generation to generation. Dora Idesová is the last member of their family. She did not learn their art\, but studied ethnography and decided to write an extensive scientific study about them. In the late 1990s\, she discovered an operative file on an “internal enemy of the state” – her aunt\, goddess Surmena. The file was created by the StB (the State Security)\, and kept in the archives of the Ministry of the Interior. Dora discovers the fate of the women from the village of Žítková and is surprised to find out that although she did not become a goddess herself\, she is also an integral part of the secret traditions.

SUMMARY:The Thin Veil of London
DESCRIPTION:An unusual walk around the lesser-known corners of Holborn and Bloomsbury\, interwoven with mysteries from the stories of Arthur Machen. \n\n\n\n‘The best-guided walk I’ve ever been on.’ – Matt Brown\, Londonist \n\n\n\nThe stories of Arthur Machen (1863-1947) teem with sinister ancient pre-Christian horrors – troglodyte races and malevolent fauns – that lurk just beneath the surface of modern life. Yet for Machen\, these folklore evils were the flip side of a positive theology that invited the visionary to step through the veil of illusion into another world; a magical world. Sometimes the veil is lifted on ancient tumuli in the Welsh countryside of his childhood; often\, it can be found in a back street in London. \n\n\n\nThe Thin Veil of London takes up this theme. Much more than an ordinary tour\, it is a journey into the silent corners of Holborn and Bloomsbury. It is a journey into the worlds of Faery and science\, madness and ecstasy\, and what Machen called ‘the eternal beauty hidden beneath the crust of common and commonplace things; hidden and yet burning and glowing continually if you care to look with purged eyes’. \n\n\n\nThe walk begins in The Queen’s Larder pub in Bloomsbury and ends at another in the same area. See the Minimum Labyrinth website for more details.

SUMMARY:The Book of Prague; A City in Short Fiction
DESCRIPTION:The winner of two Magnesia Litera Awards Marek Šindelka\, the book´s co-editor Jan Zikmund and writer Veronika Bendová will launch an anthology of short stories by the ten of city´s most famous writers\, including the illustrious Bohumil Hrabal\, that present Prague in a completely new light. Away from the Old Town Square\, these stories take us into less-visited corners of Prague: from the steep streets of the proudly edgy Žižkov neighbourhood\, to the flood-ravished suburb of Karlín\, from the tensions experienced by the city’s Romani community to the dehumanising post-war redevelopment of areas like Libeň proving that there are always sides to a city’s character you would never have imagined.

SUMMARY:Vojtěch Mašek: The Sisters Dietl + Arvéd
DESCRIPTION:A book launch and conversation with Vojtěch Mašek followed by the screening of Vojtěch Mašek’s multi-award-winning film\, Arvéd. \n\n\n\n\nA multi-layered story uncovering a kind of mysterious evil hovering above two ageing sisters. Its mood is reminiscent of Charles Burns’s Black Hole\, but more in a…Czech way. Reflex \n\n\n\n\nVojtěch Mašek\, acclaimed Czech comic book author\, screenwriter and film director discusses with Peter Kesser\, The Sisters Dietl\, the best Czech graphic novel of 2018. Described as a mix of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks and Jaroslav Dietl’s The Hospital at the Edge of the Town series\, this horror detective story follows two sisters after one is subjected to what appears to be a brutal attack. Using varied cultural references as his inspiration  and drawing on memories of childhood fears\, and the desire for a safe hiding place\, Mašek explores identity change\, doppelgängers\, hallucination and altered states of mind to build up a multi-layered story complemented by a unique multi-layered art style. \n\n\n\nVojtěch Mašek\, The Sisters Dietl\, transl. Julia and Peter Sherwood\, Centrala Books 2021 \n\n\n\nFollowed by the screening of Vojtěch Mašek’s award-winning film\, Arvéd.\n\n\n\nArvéd\n\n\n\nVojtěch Mašek\,Czech Republic\, Slovakia  2022\, 120´Cast: Michal Kern\, Saša Rašilov\, Vojtěch Vodochodský\, Jaroslav Plesl \n\n\n\nA fascinating insight into the life and mind of Jiří Arvéd Smíchovský (1898–1951)\, a charismatic hermeticist and occultist\, who in his quest for knowledge) became first a Nazi collaborator\, then informer and witness in communist show trials. He makes a Faustian pact with Plaček\, a secret police investigator whose life he saved during the war. Plaček ensures that Arvéd gets life imprisonment instead of a death sentence and offers a deal: a rare occult book for each soul delivered. Arvéd (a superb Michal Kern) plays his role in the trials even when the political tide turns. Highly stylised\, this a remarkable thriller that delves into the maze of the deteriorating mind of a man who sells his soul. \n\n\n\nBest Film\, Best Screenplay\, Best Actor Awards at Czech Film Critics Awards 2022\n\n\n\nAbout Vojtěch Mašek\n\n\n\nVojtěch Mašek (b. 1977) is a comic book author and artist\, screenwriter and playwright.

SUMMARY:Attila Bartis: The End | Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Literary meet and greet with EBRD Literary Prize 2024 nominee Attila Bartis featuring his work of prose: THE END\nAuthor Attila Bartis and translator Judith Sollosy discuss the recently published The End with moderator Jozefina Komporaly.\n“The story of a photographer who… No. The story of a man who… No. The story of a love affair that… Or the story of several love affairs that taken together… Or the story of a nation that… Ah\, forget it. This novel offers everything that a novel can possibly offer: truth\, sincerity\, atmosphere\, story. And something else besides that fans of Attila Bartis are familiar with: the irresistible sweep of emotions that carry you with it and won’t let you go. Whether readers consider András Szabad a maniac or fall helplessly in love with him\, either way\, they will feel that life is worth living only as he lives it\, with this intensity. We call a character like him a hero. We are bound to go along with him.” (István Kemény)

SUMMARY:Magdalena Platzová: Life After Kafka
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of Life After Kafka\, a compelling novel about Felice Bauer\, Franz Kafka’s first fiancée\, and the untold story behind Letters to Felice. Acclaimed Czech novelist and Magnesia Litera Award finalist Magdalena Platzová\, alongside journalist and Kafka enthusiast Nick Lezard\, will explore this captivating blend of fact and fiction\, transporting readers across time and space—from pre–World War II Europe to present-day America. Inspired by Platzová’s meeting with Felice Bauer’s son\, the novel provides fresh insights into Kafka’s world while weaving a haunting family saga about legacy\, survival\, and the profound impact of famous artists on those closest to them. \n\n  \n“Meticulously researched\, vividly envisioned. . . . The writing deftly renders both the texture of life before and after two world wars and the persistent longing of refugees for a home that no longer exists.” —Washington Independent Review of Books \n“Kafka afficionados will thrill to this. . . . Equal parts family memoir and a tantalizing publishing detective story\, Life After Kafka raises questions about memory\, privacy\, and the impact on each by the passage of time.” —Historical Novels Review \n“This elegantly narrated novel\, full of fascinations\, paints an impassioned and poignant portrait of Felice Bauer and other exiles connected to Franz Kafka and charts a compelling cartography of their now vanished world.” —Benjamin Balint\, author of Kafka’s Last Trial and Bruno Schulz \n“Franz Kafka is a universe that resists any attempt at interpretation. Magdaléna Platzová’s novel offers a new key to Kafka’s world: we look at it through the tender and sorrowful gaze of the people whose fate had been marked by him personally. An utterly touching book!” —Agnieszka Holland\, award-winning filmmaker and president of the European Film Academy \nAbout Magdaléna Platzová\nMagdaléna Platzová is the author of nine books\, including three novels published in English: Aaron’s Leap\, a Lidové Noviny Book of the Year Award finalist\, The Attempt\, longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award and a Czech Book Award finalist\, and Life After Kafka\, a Magnesia Litera award finalist.

SUMMARY:The Launching of the Mary: A Script-in-Hand Exploration
DESCRIPTION:THE LAUNCHING OF THE MARY: A Script-in-Hand Exploration\n  \n“The launching of a ship? This modern age\nhath seldom seen such action on a stage.”\n \nAlmost 400 years since it was written at sea\, come step into the riverside world of Walter Mountfort’s The Launching of the Mary. \n  \nDuring his ‘return from East India in 1632\, Walter Mountfort spent his idle hours writing a play. Set in a London shipyard\, complete with sprawling subplots and a range of colourful characters\, The Launching of the Mary immerses readers in a bustling riverside world. As shipyard artisans prepare to launch a ship\, while marine officers debate the ethics of overseas trade\, the mariner’s wife\, Dorotea Constance\, defends her home against a torrent of suitors. This workshop invites participants to explore this unknown Renaissance play through a lively but relaxed script-in-hand reading\, partly city comedy\, part domestic tragedy\, and part something else entirely. \nNo prior knowledge or performance experience is required to participate. A lightly abridged\, modern spelling edition of the play has been produced specially for this event\, and participants are invited to read\, listen\, or both. The session will conclude with a section for Q&A and the chance to reflect on the experience of encountering this curious play. \n  \nTuesday 6 May 2025\, 14:00-16:30 \nKeynes Library\, 43 Gordon Square\, London\, WC1H 0PD \nhttps://www.bbk.ac.uk/events/event/49292/the-launching-of-the-mary-a-script-in-hand-exploration

SUMMARY:Semafor: The Birth of Pop Culture in Prague’s 1960s
DESCRIPTION:Bursting into the 1960s with wit\, charm\, and a rebellious spirit\, Prague’s Semafor Theatre became a beacon of creativity behind the Iron Curtain.

Their songs became the soundtrack of a generation and a symbol of cultural resistance. In this special event\, music historian and author of Suchý & Šlitr\, Semafor 1959–1969\, Pavel Klusák\, and Jiří Šlitr’s daughter\, Dominika Křesťanová\, share stories\, rare insights\, and the cultural legacy of a duo who defined an era\, and the rebellion that stole a language for its own game. \n\n\n\n\nThis event also marks the recent release of Pavel Klusák’s book Suchý a Šlitr: Semafor 1959–1969 (Host\, 2024\, 456 pages\, ISBN 978-80-275-1813-5)\, which explores the rise of Semafor and its cultural impact during a decade of change.
