Make a note for your diary if you’re
going to be in London’s Covent Garden area around 6.30pm on Thursday
27 November. That’s when The Royal Theatrical Fund (founded in 1839 by
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).
