Seven Ages

`One of the best anthologies of the year... An arresting, deeply moving collection of the best of British poetry read by a star-studded cast.' The Independent This exceptional anthology, based on Lord Owen's published anthology Seven Ages - Poetry for a Lifetime, features many of Britain's leading actors who have all given their services for charity. Shakespeare's `seven ages' speech (read by Sir Ian McKellen) punctuates the programme which contains over four hundred poems read by forty actors. Michael Caine reads Kipling's `If'; Ralph Fiennes reads Hood's `I Remember, I Remember'; John Cleese reads `The Owl and the Pussycat'; Pete Postlethwaite reads `Kubla Khan'.
