Title: We never closed
Description: Basis for theatrical film “Mrs. Henderson Presents,” the book was written by the daughter of the manager, then owner, of London’s Windmill Theatre. It remained open during the Blitz and performers and staff lived there, in the basement, while buildings were being bombed and safety was uncertain. Having seen the film then read about the real history of the Windmill, I would very much like to read the book itself.
