A Poet for Every Day of the Year: National Theatre Talks held in memory of Helen McCrory

Join us to journey through a calendar year in poetry, read by actors on stage at the National Theatre. Allie Esiri and Damian Lewis were joined by friends including Simon Russell Beale, Fay Ripley, Danny Sapani and Lesley Sharp. Chris Riddell live drew the evening. A Poet for Every Day of the Year is dedicated to Helen McCrory, who took part in some of these poetry evenings in previous years. Signed copies of A Poet for Every Day of the Year are available from the National Theatre Bookshop.
