The Rose Theatre Kingston is offering ‘Readings from the Rose’. Prominent actors and creatives in the industry, including Adjoa Andoh, Angellica Bell, Anton Lesser, Christopher Eccleston, Jane Asher, Louise Brealey, Niamh Cusack, Olivia Vinall, Paul Higgins and Stephen Boxer – have filmed themselves reading their favourite poems.These readings can be accessed by anyone completely free of charge on the Rose’s YouTube and Instagram channels, in the hope that they will bring some light entertainment to audiences while theatres are dark.
Says Christopher Haydon, Artistic Director at the Rose: ‘I am thrilled about the launch of ‘Readings from the Rose’. We have a wealth of talent lined up and I am so excited for audiences to enjoy these readings. I want to thank all those who filmed themselves for contributing to the initiative and providing a good news story in amongst all this uncertainty.’
The readings include works from AA Milne, AE. Housman, Angela Morgan, D. H. Lawrence, Hilaire Belloc and William Shakespeare. rosetheatrekingston.org
