Posting Letters to the Moon

A romantic, funny and touching portrait of life during the Second World War, featuring readings of letters between Oscar-nominated actress Celia Johnson (Brief Encounter) and her husband Peter Fleming, posted to India and the Far East during the war working for Military Intelligence.

Read by their daughter Lucy Fleming (Love Sarah, Miranda in The Archers) and her husband Simon Williams (Upstairs Downstairs, Justin in The Archers, EastEnders,) the letters give an insight into a young mother's life coping during the war and tell of Celia Johnson's experience of filming with Noël Coward, David Lean and her thoughts while making the classic film Brief Encounter in 1945.

Simply spellbinding performance. A theatrical gem.
