The talk covers the purchase of Westminster Theatre by the Moral Re-Armament movement in 1947, with the belief that theatre could help resolve disputes and be a force for positive social reform.

Dr Jenner, who was also a journalist at Cambridge Evening News for more than 20 years, wrote about Westminster Theatre in her thesis.

Tickets are free for Saffron Walden Arts Trust members and £6 for non-members, and are available either on the door or from Eventbrite.
