Michael Grandage Company presents the Josephine Hart Poetry Week at the Arts theatre. Over five nights the work of some of the world’s greatest poets will be celebrated and brought alive with the help of Josephine’s words and the poems themselves, read aloud by some of our finest actors.

Each night will be a different poet:
Monday – TS Eliot
Tuesday – Auden
Wednesday – WW1 Poetry
Thursday – Larkin
Friday – American Poets

Actors involved will include Deborah Findlay, Derek Jacobi, Felicity Jones, Eddie Redmayne, Dominic West, Rosamund Pike and Samuel West.

Melvyn Bragg, David Hare, Richard Eyre, Alan Yentob and Tom Stoppard will each host an evening, and read Hart’s comments on the chosen works.
