And to be fair to the SohoHouse Shoreditch

I must, now that I have dug up the reading list from Sunday of the Word Theatre production organized to raise money for Fairbridge, I want to share the titles and authors as well as the readers...really fine work on all sides...but Hornsby's "Nipple, Jesus" was incredible due to Molina's fabulous reading, but the short story "Joyas Voladoras" a father's pained musings about the heart the night before his young child is to have open heart surgery was incredibly powerful -- the handsome Alastair Mackenzie performed -- he of "Monarch of the Glen" fame -- be still my heart. Ian Hart made us laugh and cry with "Man in the Water" by Rose Tremain while John Schwab had everyone weeping with "Stories" by John Edgar Wideman..."A Man Walking in the Rain,eating a Banana." The title belies the punch of the story. The newcomer, Alexis Zegerman, from "Happy, Go Lucky" was astonishing as the grieving mother in "The Wave." And Lucky Brown did a joyous and poignant reading of Helen Simpson's "Up at the Villa." Cedering Fox, as always, directed cleanly, no muss, no fuss, just great words from fantastic performers.
