Wartime Stories: A Poured History of World War II

A speakeasy-style tasting in which four true stories from the Second World War are performed live, each paired with a themed cocktail at Glaziers Hall in London.

Wartime Stories pairs live performance with a cocktail tasting. Four accounts from the Second World War are presented in turn, centred on Winston Churchill, Dr Oppenheimer, Claus v. Stauffenberg and Oskar Schindler. Each story is told through the eyes of someone at its heart, or of a person who stood close to them, so the focus stays on the people involved as the events unfold.

The tasting menu comprises four themed cocktails, one for each story: the Finest Hour, the Trinity, the Valkyrie and La Lista. Each drink is served alongside the part of the narrative it accompanies. The format is presented as a speakeasy cocktail experience, and the whole session lasts 75 minutes.

The session is for adults aged 18 and over. It will suit those interested in twentieth-century history who would like to approach these episodes through a drink-led format, including visitors to London. Glaziers Hall, the venue, is wheelchair accessible.
