Charles Dickens) to support actors and other theatre professionals
who have fallen upon hard times holds its 2012 annual Christmas
festival.
The venue is the Actors’ Church – St
Paul’s, Covent Garden – and there will be readings, music and a
chance to indulge in mulled wine and mince pies. Simon Callow,
Laurie Holloway, Kenny Lynch, Peter Polycarpou and Samantha
Spiro are among those intending to appear (as always where
hard-working performers are concerned, attendance is subject to
availability).
