In September 2020, the Freud Museum London were delighted to welcome a thrilling cast of performers to the garden of Sigmund Freud’s final home in an evening curated by Vanessa Redgrave.

Vanessa Redgrave and Ralph Fiennes, joined by actress Daisy Bevan, read texts ranging from Professor Freud, Sylvia Pankhurst, W.H. Auden and William Shakespeare. The readings were complemented with trumpet performances by Benjamin Amissah.

This event has been instigated and devised by Vanessa Redgrave, who before lockdown was working with the Freud Museum on the highly-anticipated exhibition ‘Code Name Mary: The extraordinary life of Muriel Gardiner,’ which was later held from September 2021 – February 2022.

Ralph Fiennes is an actor and director, Vanessa Redgrave an actress, writer and director, and Daisy Bevan an actress.

In 2016 Ralph and Vanessa performed together in a critically acclaimed production of Richard III at the Almeida Theatre, and are reunited for this special one night only event. Ralph and Daisy performed a scene from The Tempest together in ‘Sea Sorrow’, a film directed by Vanessa in 2017.
