SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE - London, FEBRUARY 2020
On 20 February 2020, the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare’s Globe, London, hosted a one night only fundraising reading of Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter About Men.
Directed by Tara Fitzgerald (Brassed Off, Game of Thrones), cast included Saffron Burrows (You), Jason Isaacs, Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter, The OA), Lorien Haynes, Jonathan Firth (Victoria and Albert), Joe Sims (Broadchurch), Charlie Field (Poldark), Belinda Stewart-Wilson (The In-Betweeners) and Robert Lindsay (My Family). Key note speaker Nobel-Prize nominee and founder of Rise, Amanda Nguyen, closed the evening, alongside the Citizens of The World choir.
Presented in association with RISE and The Circle, all profits from this event went to supporting survivors of sexual violence. Thanks in huge part to RISE’s work, the event will also mark the planned introduction of the Worldwide Sexual Violence Survivor Rights United Nations Resolution in October 2020, which addresses the global issue of sexual violence and pens into existence the civil rights of millions of survivors.
Artists Harland Miller, Bella Freud, Emma Sergeant and Natasha Law all customised Rotary telephones, which were auctioned to support helplines for Rape Crisis, the Samaritans, NSPCC and NAPAC.
