Samuel West - Britten in Wartime and My Theatre Matters


Sam is the narrator for Britten in Wartime, which will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 this Thursday. The concert will take place at The Hallé; booking details are here.

Jamie Campbell, the Aurora Orchestra and Sam have tweeted rehearsal pictures from last Sunday's Britten Films concert at Queen Elizabeth Hall 1|2|3|4

Sam gave a speech about My Theatre Matters at the Theatre Royal in York last Friday (his Twitter, @exitthelemming). The theatre posted a picture of Sam with the cast of See How They Run on Twitter. He also discussed the campaign with Elly Fiorentini on BBC Radio York - the interview starts at approximately 1 hour 46 minutes (via @ellyfyork).

Last Wednesday, he attended the book launch for Solo, William Boyd's new Bond novel (Getty Images and the Evening Standard).

In September, Sam and his parents Timothy West and Prunella Scales did some filming for a Channel 4 documentary about the Rochdale Canal (Todmorden News).
