Jonathan Freedland on King Winter's Birthday

Join us to celebrate 5x15's fifteenth birthday! To mark the occasion, we'll be back at The Tabernacle in February for a very special evening, featuring a truly stellar line-up of speakers: Harriet Walter, John Crace, Jonathan Freedland, Theresa Lola and Chloe Dalton. Expect captivating stories about Shakespeare's women, as reinterpreted by a beloved classical actress; the inspiring work of a German Jewish author writing during the Second World War; poetry and diasporic experience; a transformative encounter with an injured hare in the countryside and a satirical look at British politics - from the point of view of Herbie the dog. Jonathan Freedland is a Guardian columnist and the presenter of BBC Radio 4’s contemporary history series, The Long View, and host of the podcast Unholy. He is the author of twelve books, the latest being The Escape Artist. He has written nine thrillers, mostly as Sam Bourne, including The Righteous Men, a Sunday Times number one bestseller. His new picture book, King Winter's Birthday, with illustrations by Emily Sutton, is inspired by a story from author Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz, author of The Passenger.
