An Evening with Marc Fennell
ABOUT THE SHOW
Join Marc Fennell live on stage for a mischievous conversation about history’s most hotly debated loot.
British museums are home to millions of fascinating objects. The trouble is a whole bunch of them were stolen in wildly dodgy ways. A chance encounter with one of these items prompted journalist Marc Fennell to ask: ‘What is that? And how the hell did it get here?’
The answer was so gloriously weird that it sent him on a globetrotting adventure, investigating the most audacious criminal enterprise in history – the British Empire.
Go behind-the-scenes for a, ‘off record’ sneaky peek at the backstories of how he was able to get around filming restrictions, denied access and a global pandemic to produce the award-winning Stuff The British Stole.
