❓ How much do you know about writer George Eliot? A new show, set to contemporary music, is celebrating her in her own words, from her novels, letters, and poetry. Surie & Hermione Norris join @itsanitarani to discuss why they wanted to bring her to life in this new setting ⬇️

Mishal Husain - what a loss for all of us. We have very happy memories of the lovely interview she did with Anton Lesser for BBC R4 Today, ahead of our Laurie Lee show - Mishal sparked a run on tickets! #Hambletts @Orchestra_Swan

“I love words - they are the bows and staves that furnish the gymnasium of the mind. We learn words by rote, but not their meaning; that must be paid for with our life-blood, and printed in the subtle fibres of our nerves.” - George Eliot and @djshields1.

“What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?“ - George Eliot. I’m chuffed to bits to have been invited to join this project and live show, inspired by the work of George Eliot, with @Orchestra_Swan and Dame Harriet Walter.

Thank you amazing folk ⁦@StratLitFest⁩ for giving up your time to take part in honest & open conversations. We laughed, some cried , others gasped and we had moments of pin drop silence- and we showed how tough subjects can be tackled in the spirit of learning ❤️
