WALKING ABOUT HANGOVER SQUARE Danger and Madness in Earls Court: The sinister world of Patrick Hamilton Saturday 12th July, 3pm A joint London Adventure Society & Sohemian event Presented by Nigel Jones (Hamilton's biographer) and Marc Glendening Meet in front of Earls Court underground station (Earls Court Road exit), where two representatives of Mr Hamilton will await you: look out for two gentlemen wearing tweed jackets, hats, old school ties, sharply pressed trousers and Oxford brogues. Follow them to enter the menacing world of Patrick Hamilton (1904-1962) and his most famous novel, Hangover Square. Like all Hamilton's books, Hangover Square offers an incisive and perversely humorous insight into the British class structure and culture of the 1930s and 40s. You will visit venues associated with the book and Hamilton's own life, including the scene of his near fatal engagement with a fast travelling motor vehicle that was to hasten his decline into depression and heavy drinking. The walk will last approximately 2 hours, concluding at The King's Head, 17 Hogarth Place. SCENERY CHEWER FILM CLUB Screening of Hitchcock's 'Rope' and film noir classic, 'Hangover Square' Sunday 13th July, 2pm The newly launched film club, Scenery Chewer, will be hosting a screening of Hitchcock's 'Rope', followed by lost film noir classic, 'Hangover Square' in Earls Court.
