Description
Bexhill-on-Sea, where Eddie Izzard grew up, was home to Augusta Victoria College, a finishing school for upper-class German girls. The students were from some of Germany’s highest-ranking and most powerful families. It lasted until 1939, when Germany’s invasion of Poland made it impossible to prevent war.
“Six Minutes to Midnight” is Izzard’s imagined spy story inspired by the school.
