Bond actress Rosamund Pike read a selection of poems by First World War poets at the Josephine Hart Poetry Week last night at the Arts Theatre, along with Charles Dance  and Tom Hollander.  “We’re offering people an experience that’s going to move them and change their feelings for a night,” said Pike, “and it’s all for a tenner.” Dance, celebrating his 66th birthday, said: “I like doing it, as I’m not particularly well-read.  I learned a phenomenal amount.”
