Jeremy Irons, Simon Russell Beale, Fiona Shaw and Ben Wishaw will pay homage to TS Eliot at a special evening of readings later this month.

The event is being staged by the London Library and will take place at Wilton’s Music Hall on October 21.

The evening of readings will include extracts from a range of Eliot’s work including The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, Four Quartets, The Waste Land, The Hollow Men and Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.

Philip Spedding, development director at The London Library said, “Jeremy Irons, Simon Russell Beale, Fiona Shaw, and Ben Whishaw are intimately associated with some of the most powerful recent performances of Eliot’s work. We are delighted that they are coming together for what promises to be a memorable tribute to a genuinely great writer”.

Tickets are available via the Wilton’s website.
