A chance to see Dame Judi Dench repeat for one night only a song she first sang nearly 30 years ago. Sir Ian McKellen will recite a poem by Siegfried Sassoon and over 40 more performers will be offering their services, all of whom are giving of their very best and raising money for Oxfam, Care International, the Red Cross and Amnesty International -- charities who have people on the ground in the very areas that we are all concerned about right now. Mark Rylance with his Henry V speech at Burgundy, Sally Burgess singing Habanerra from her critically acclaimed Carmen and Joanna Riding with her Olivier award-winning Eliza singing "I Could Have Danced All Night". Arabella Weir will be bringing her outrageous "No Offence" Character from the 'Fast Show' to the stage, the entire cast of Anything Goes performing for the very last time as their run finishes the night before. The Blood Brothers Company and Ragtime Company. Lindsay Duncan and Maggie Steed will read four letters from people living in Bagdad explaining their feelings. And, Alison Steadman, will read Harold Pinter's specially written poem.
