The Independent posted a preview for Reading Room, presented by the London Contemporary Dance Theatre. Alan Rickman and Miranda Richardson will be participating in this.

Richardson, a friend of Lunn’s who will also be narrating one of the London performances, says they will by no means be the main attraction. “The dancers will be doing the majority of the work,” said Richardson. “I’ve been at rehearsals and they are amazing to watch.”

The piece explores the relationship between physical and verbal communication through contemporary dance and oral readings. It will be narrated by the aforementioned actors in a series of performances across the country. Samuel Beckett’s last prose work, Stirrings Still, poems by Raymond Carver and Billy Collins, and an original work written and pre-recorded by the late Anthony Minghella, will provide the texts that will accompany the work of five dancers.

Reading Room will be at Southbank Centre in London on June 5 and 6. There will be various performances across the UK until June 28.

Today, March 3rd, is Miranda Richardson’s birthday! She plays Rita Skeeter in the Harry Potter films and is in numerous other movies.

Happy Birthday Miranda!!!!!
