Day after Night
Time: 28 Feb 2010 - 12:30 pm
Contributors: Anita Diamant, Chair: Anne Sebba
Notes: The author of the Red Tent tells us about her new mesmerising new novel, Day after Night, a story of friendship set in a camp in Palestine between four women who each has her own tale to tell of surviving the war in a different European country. She also talks about the significance of Judaism in her life.

Sex, Lies and Regal Japes; The story of Esther, the sex-crazed king and his evil counsellor
Time: 27 Feb 2010 - 8:30 pm
Contributors: David Aaronovitch, Anita Diamant, Irving Finkel, Assaf Gavron, Shappi Khorsandi, Kathy Lette and Simon Schama, Udi Sharabani
Notes:

A Purim Spiel, with a contemporary twist, bringing a little bit of Persia to Bloomsbury, with a backbeat of Iranian rhythms and all hosted by our favourite modern-day Sheherazade, David Schneider.

Unmasking the Book of Esther we’ll be revealing the story behind the story of Purim, hatching all-new conspiracy theories and, in the spirit of the festival, blurring boundaries between good and evil, sacred and profane.
