Theatre events

A key annual event in The Kalisher Trust’s fundraising calendar is the star-studded play reading in Middle Temple Hall. Each year the Kalisher Players, led by Artistic Director, Joe Harmston, mount a new play presented in ‘radio drama’ format with live music and sound effects. The goal is not only to offer a highly enjoyable and entertaining evening but also to use the play’s material to raise themes pertinent to the work of the Trust.

Our next event will take place on Sunday 27th March 2022, at Middle Temple, and will be a performance of Bill Kenwright’s ‘Love Letters’, a West End hit, starring Martin Shaw and Jenny Seagrove.  For tickets see our news pages.

The Kalisher Players

The links between the legal and acting professions are long established. Equality of access to both professions is a live issue and the actors who support us by performing demonstrate the common ground we share. There is a core of long-term players including Martin Shaw (Kalisher Patron and Vice President), Ray Fearon (Kalisher patron), Maxine Peake, Hugh Dennis, Mark Farelly and Daniel Hill. This is augmented by a range of talented special guests who have included Cate Blanchett, Guy Henry, Simon Callow, Edward Fox, Felicity Kendall, Stanley Tucci, Jessica Raine, Simon Russell-Beale, Laura Maine and Lauren Coe to name but a few of the dozens of talented actors who have generously given of their time and experience. We are indebted to them for their kindness without which we could not create the events. For the full list of Kalisher Players please click here.
