Sir Antony Beevor

How could a barely literate peasant from Siberia determine the fate of the world? Undoubtedly, the so-called 'mad monk' Rasputin bewitched Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, Alexandra. Yet their strange and scandalous relationship conceals a riddle, one that casts an intriguing light on the controversial 'great man' theory of history. Rasputin was a devoted monarchist, not a revolutionary. He had no official position, no forces at his command. Nevertheless, he contributed more to the fall of the Romanov dynasty than any other individual.Sir Antony has received major prizes, has appeared in thirty-seven languages and sold more than nine million copies. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and the Royal Historical Society, he has received honorary doctorates and fellowships from five universities.This event is sponsored by No.6 The Square Tearooms.

Alexander Armstrong, Madeleine Shaw and Andrew Matthews-Owen

As in the 2020s, the 1920s emerged from a pandemic, a financial crash and war. The decade responded, in the words of Zelda Fitzgerald, by going into battle 'with audacity and rouge’, and with cocktails ('giggle juice'), new plays, new fashions and new sounds from Noel Coward and Ivor Novello to the Great American Songbook which have become immortal. Join us to celebrate a decade of laughter, love, gossip and intrigue. A time that was too good to last. As the decade ended there was the inevitable sense of 'The Party's Over Now' but what a decade it was!

Gavin Francis

Dr Gavin Francis is a GP with a special interest in mental health and the bestselling author of Adventures in Human Being, Shapeshifters and Intensive Care. Between a quarter and a fifth of young people in the UK now suffer a mental disorder. One in four adults are prescribed psychiatric medication. These numbers represent a huge and recent expansion in mental health labelling but reveal nothing of the experience of those seeking help.Gavin draws on conversations with patients, colleagues, and his thirty years of practice to explore the chequered history of psychiatry, the nature of mental health and ill-health, and the problems, including mood disorders, trauma, anxiety and addiction, that he addresses daily.The mind, he argues, is dynamic and adaptive, better addressed not with rigid labels and protocols, but with curiosity, kindness, humility and hope.
