The Festival Players continued their examination of the city's history in Winchester and the Anarchy, a dramatic reading of one of the bloodiest conflicts it experienced.
The former Foreign Secretary and SDP Leader, David Owen, riveted his audience in his discussion with John Miller of his just-published book In Sickness and in Power. He gave them an initial jolt with his claim that no fewer than seven Presidents in the last hundred years had been mentally unfit in office.
Major historical issues have been fully-aired in this year's Festival. Roy Hattersley discussed his book on the inter-war years Borrowed Time with John Miller, beginning with the Paris Peace Negotiations in 1919, whose decisions not only made the Second World War inevitable, but stored up future causes of conflict in both the Balkans and the Middle East.
Over the years, the Winchester Festival has had a knack of engaging performers who go on to make their mark on the world stage, particularly chamber ensembles. Those who attended the Chapel of St Cross on a wet evening were well rewarded by the peerless playing and teamwork of the Badke String Quartet.
