Sam is the reader for an episode of
Lost Voices about Herbert Read - it will be broadcast next Sunday on BBC Radio 4 at 4.30pm.
Scene & Heard has shared
pictures of Sam, Tom Goodman-Hill, Hugh Bonneville and other patrons attending a performance of
Twist and Turn.
On Friday morning, Sam appeared on
BBC Breakfast to talk about
cuts to arts funding (his Twitter, @
exitthelemming). Afterwards, he went to Downing St to deliver an
anti-cuts letter, with Patrick Stewart, Penelope Wilton, Malcolm Sinclair, Maxine Peake and Christine Payne (video from

The previous evening, Sam gave a speech at the
Berry Theatre opening gala (pre event tweets from @
HiccupTheatre, @
exitthelemming). Security guards danced during the gala! (
live tweeted by Sam). @
PointEastleigh and @
HiccupTheatre complimented him on his "inspirational" and "inspiring" speech, which was about the importance of theatres in people's lives (@
TheatresTrust). @
theberrytheatre reflected on the event as "a night we won't forget"; Sam has
described the theatre as "a ray of hope in dark times."
