“What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?“ - George Eliot. I’m chuffed to bits to have been invited to join this project and live show, inspired by the work of George Eliot, with Orchestra of the Swan and Dame Harriet Walter.

Thank you amazing folk ⁦Stratford Literary Festival⁩ for giving up your time to take part in honest & open conversations. We laughed, some cried , others gasped and we had moments of pin drop silence- and we showed how tough subjects can be tackled in the spirit of learning ❤️

“I love words - they are the bows and staves that furnish the gymnasium of the mind. We learn words by rote, but not their meaning; that must be paid for with our life-blood, and printed in the subtle fibres of our nerves.” - George Eliot and Deirdre Shields.

❓ How much do you know about writer George Eliot? A new show, set to contemporary music, is celebrating her in her own words, from her novels, letters, and poetry. Surie & Hermione Norris join anita rani to discuss why they wanted to bring her to life in this new setting ⬇️
