Simon Callow and Harriet Walter appear in a panel event on 'Building a Character' in the London Library's Words in the Square festival on Sunday 8 May, 1pm-2pm.

BUILDING A CHARACTER
How do actors, writers and directors develop their understanding of character to avoid cliché and create believable and compelling drama? In this revelatory look behind the scenes Simon Russell Beale, Simon Callow, Natascha McElhone and Harriet Walter discuss the process of research and rehearsal, revealing how they have developed specific techniques to help them find their own particular truths about human behaviour and performance. Nicholas Hytner, former Artistic Director of the National Theatre, chairs.
