INSIDE THIS MONTH…
AN ACToR from Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre is rounding up leading names from British theatre for a refugee benefit show.
Emma Manton, who was in Confusions and Hero’s Welcome at the SJT over three months last year, has persuaded nine actors to take part in the show, at the National Theatre in London on 14 February.
Moving Stories will feature Maxine Peake, James Bolam, Hattie Morahan, Andy Nyman, Rufus Hound, Noma Dumezweni, Ray Fearon, Adjoa Andoh and zubin Varla. They will perform new work written for the occasion by Richard Bean, Staten Cousins-Roe, Stephanie Dale, David Edgar, Katherine Jakeways, Phil Porter, Michelle Terry and Jenifer Toksvig. Maxine Peake said: “I am supporting this event as everything that can be done to help and support the refugee crisis must be done. I hope events like this will encourage the powers that be to allow more refugees a home and sanctuary in our country”. The proceeds will go to the united Nations Refugee Agency. Emma told Scarborough Review that she was inspired to organise the benefit after watching the plight of refugees on TV. Her fundraising efforts began with entering the London marathon on 24 April. Then she hit upon the idea of curating a theatre show and it snowballed. Emma, 37, joined Scarborough Athletic Club last summer and got the running bug. Last year, she completed the Great North Run and the Race for Life marathon. (continued on page 6)
