WATERLOO WALK: BLACKFRIARS
Monday 1 July
Meet 11am at St John's Waterloo, 73 Waterloo Road; �5 from
http://wf2013gw-bf2.eventbrite.co.uk
A forgotten area of London? Developments sprung up along the

UNKNOWN WARRIORS: READINGS BY THE NATIONAL THEATRE
Monday 1 July
7.30pm at St John's Waterloo, 73 Waterloo Road; �12 (conc
�8) from http://wf2013-uw.eventbrite.co.uk
In a programme of readings from poems, plays, letters and
blogs, National Theatre actors reflect the new reality of
warfare. "The warring nations are engaged, not only
soldiers, but men, women and children. The fronts are
everywhere. The trenches are dug in the towns and streets.
The front lines run through the factories." When Churchill
said this, in 1940, he was anticipating the unfamiliar
horrors to come. Seventy years on, the community is often at
the heart of a war zone, and the hallmarks of earlier
conflicts - battlegrounds, massed lines of soldiers, even
uniforms - are almost a thing of the past. Compiled and
directed by Jonathan Humphreys.
