#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Through the experiences of two girls during World War 1, Interned investigates propaganda, prejudice and changing attitudes in society. It explores the effects of long-term incarceration in an internment camp on young people: how they deal with it and make a life for themselves. Pamela will discuss the novel’s contemporary parallels with Megan Daley.
Available by single download or with a Word Play Online subscription. See ticketing page for more information.
