Speaker: Kevin Davey. Priestley, distinguished novelist, playwright, screenwriter, essayist, influential broadcaster in 1940 and founding member of CND, deserves huge celebration. Kevin is the author of Radio Joan (2020), an encounter with an elderly former Blackshirt and lover of William Joyce; and Playing Possum (2017) in which T S Eliot is tracked through Kent in the 1920s and today. He was shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize in 2017. Tonight includes a reading from They Came to a City, a utopian play by Priestley, by members of the Leytonstone Library Playreading Group.
