Nurse Edith Cavell (1939)
Friday 26th November 7:30pm at the John Clare Theatre
British nurse Edith Cavell (Anna Neagle) is stationed at a hospital in Brussels during World War I. When the son of a former patient escapes from a German prisoner-of-war camp, she helps him flee to Holland. Outraged at the number of soldiers detained in the camps, Edith, along with a group of sympathizers, devises a plan to help the prisoners escape. As the group works to free the soldiers, Edith must keep her activities secret from the Germans.
​
An exciting screening for Peterborough as Peterborough’s connection with Edith Cavell goes back to 1884, when she was enrolled as a pupil teacher at Laurel Court School in Peterborough Cathedral Precincts.
