Lindsay Duncan, Paterson Joseph and other great actors who love contemporary poetry will be reading from this year's Forward Book of Poetry, in a new production directed by Beatie Edney. The poems featured were all shortlisted or highly commended for the 2013 Forward Prizes for poetry, the most coveted poetry awards in the UK and Ireland.
The evening - for which the actors are giving their time free of charge - will raise money for the literacy charity Beanstalk and is part of the Forward Arts Foundation's drive to bring contemporary poetry to new audiences, by collaborating with performers, visual artists and musicians.

This year’s Forward Prizes were judged by a panel chaired by Jeanette Winterson, whose members read 162 poetry collections and 159 single poems before honouring Michael Symmons Roberts, Emily Berry and Nick MacKinnon. The annual Forward Book of Poetry is ‘the best way of encountering the richness new poetry has to offer’ (The Daily Telegraph)
