Bodyline post-mortem: Why did a cricket series cause an international crisis? @ Mills Centre, Highgate School
Jul 4 @ 6:45 pm – 8:00 pm

The 1932-33 England cricket tour of Australia was one of the most widely reported of all time.  During a period when long-distance communications were either painfully slow or terrifically expensive, c. 130,000 words were wired across the world over a three-day period, costing a small fortune.  Nor did interest in the tour wane within a few years, and even today, over eighty years after the victorious English side left Australia, more is written about this series than any other.  The reason is simple: for the first time in the history of the game, controversy that took place on the field took on a political dimension, causing Dominions Secretary, Jimmy Thomas, to later recall: ‘no politics ever introduced in the British Empire caused me so much trouble as this damn bodyline bowling’.

The talk will be given by James Newton, Head of History at Highgate School.

Mondays @ The Mills: Vincent Van Gogh and Anthony Green – The Ninth Annual Kyffin Williams Lecture @ Mills Centre, Highgate School
Feb 6 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

6th February

The Ninth Annual Kyffin Williams Lecture
Vincent Van Gogh and Anthony Green

Martin Bailey
The art historian Martin Bailey has published two books in the past few weeks – one on Van Gogh (Studio of the South: Van Gogh in Provence) and the other on the former Highgate student Anthony Green RA (Painting Life), who was taught by Kyffin Williams in the 1950s. In his lecture, Bailey will explore the links, since Green has always been strongly influenced by Van Gogh’s Sunflowers.
