Housmans Bookshop and Comma Press are delighted to host two online events with renowned British actors Christopher Eccleston and Maxine Peake reading from protest-inspired stories published in Comma’s History-into-Fiction series, Protest.

Christopher will be reading ‘Withen’ by Martyn Bedford, a story about the Battle of Orgreave, during the 1984-85 miners’ strike. The reading will be followed by a discussion with author Martyn Bedford and academic David Waddington who has published widely on Britain’s mining communities.
