Simon Callow Reads Charles Dickens
On 20 February the Library welcomed acclaimed actor and writer Simon Callow to talk about his new book Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World.
Callow portrays Dickens as a man driven as much by performance and showmanship as by literary endeavour. The audience delighted in Callow’s dramatic and humorous readings of Dickens’s famous characters.

The Library's ethos, principles and ambitions strike a chord with me; the services on offer are the practical demonstration of what the place is about.

I have had a lifelong love of books and feel that the British Library is an inspiring place and well worthy of support, particularly at a time when funding for the arts in general appears to be under threat.
