WORDTheatreUK, dubbed “the short story specialists” by The Sunday Times, will bring to life Ocean-themed short stories, poetry and songs with actors Harriet Walter DBE, Olivia Williams, Rhashan Stone, Damien Molony, MyAnna Buring, Amanda Donohoe, Gethin Anthony & more performing alongside violin virtuoso Lizzie Ball and jazz/classical pianist Dorian Ford. Literary works from renowned authors including A.S. Byatt, Isak Dinisen, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Brendan Kennelly, evoke the deep, vast, wild, mysterious, unknowable power and majesty of nature.
WORDTheatre Founder and Artistic Director, Cedering Fox, has curated this evening in support of OCEAN RISING, an initiative that encourages the public to engage with the ocean through cultural initiatives and innovative events. Established by Schmidt Ocean Institute and Nekton, it aims to integrate the ocean seamlessly into the fabric of everyday life – igniting curiosity for our undersea world and cultivating a global community dedicated to the celebration and protection of our ocean.
You’ll also hear from Oliver Steeds, OBE, the Chief Executive and Founder of Nekton. Oceanographer and critically acclaimed broadcast journalist formerly with ABC, NBC, Channel 4, Discovery Channels and others, Steeds was awarded the OBE in the 2022 Queen’s Birthday Honours List for his services to Research and Conservation of the Marine Environment.
