A host of Britain's brightest acting talent is set to gather for a unique charitable performance of a literary classic. Ambika Mod, celebrated for her role in One Life, and Star Wars lead Daisy Ridley will headline a special live reading of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.
The event, organised in partnership with the charity Choose Love, aims to raise vital funds for humanitarian efforts in Gaza. It promises an evening where the wit and romance of Austen's world serve a pressing modern cause.
A Stellar Cast for a Vital Cause
Joining Mod and Ridley will be an impressive ensemble of British stage and screen stars. The cast includes the esteemed Simon Callow (Four Weddings and a Funeral), Anna Chancellor (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), and Adrian Lester (Riviera), among others. This gathering of talent underscores the theatre community's commitment to supporting global relief initiatives.
More Than Entertainment: A Lifeline for Gaza
All proceeds from the ticket sales will be directed to Choose Love, a organisation dedicated to providing urgent aid and long-term support to refugees and displaced people worldwide. The funds raised from this event will be specifically channelled to support their critical work delivering food, medical supplies, and shelter to those affected in Gaza.
The reading is scheduled for Sunday, 13 October, at a prominent London theatre venue. This event offers a chance for literature and theatre enthusiasts to experience a beloved novel in a dynamic new format while contributing to a crucial humanitarian mission.
