Over dinner, Richard Goulding as Dionysos and Michael Shaeffer as Hades introduced a range of performers including Ben Aldridge, Samantha Barks (as Helen of Troy), Cynthia Erivo, Kate Fleetwood, Tim Pigott-Smith and Joe Stilgoe who performed specially commissioned pieces by Simon Stephens, Richard Thomas, David Arnold and Forbes Masson.
