Our fave actor was present at the November 10 reading of Lewis Carroll’s The Walrus and the Carpenter as part of the unusually glitzy Olivier Theatre audience at the National Theatre launch of well-connected editor Allie Esiri’s new anthology A Poem for Every Day of the Year.
Helen McCrory and Howards End star Samuel West kept things sharp and understated to great effect.
The book is aimed squarely at young readers, but last night’s crowd seemed to contain fewer children than celebrities. Each arrival prompted a chorus of whispers.

The McCrory-Lewis household has long been advocates of the Josephine Hart Poetry Hour. Here Helen and Damian attend Hay Festival in 2013, both in celebration of Josephine Hart and the revival of poetry reading tradition she established at the Festival.
