The Body through the Porthole – online talk

Join us for our third online talk. This promises to be an afternoon with a difference!

“The Body Through the Porthole” – a true story from 1947 when a young actress sailing from Cape Town to Southampton aboard the Durban Castle had a liaison with a deck steward.  During one such liaison, she died and he pushed her body through the porthole!  The ship was 90 miles from the nearest land and in shark infested waters.  The audience act as jury and decide if the accused was guilty or not guilty or murder.
