How to watch

This lecture starts on 2 December at 7:00pm (UK).

Summary

Weaving her two famous sleuths through her remarkable life story, this talk uncovers surprising truths about a woman who was far from the stereotypical English lady. Agatha Christie (1890–1976) sang light opera, trained seriously as a pianist, and even took to surfing and skating with real skill. We also examine the long-debated question: Was she truly antisemitic?
