DAN Stevens, who played Edward Ferrars in the BBC’s Sense and Sensibility and the starring role of Nick Guest in The Line of Beauty, is coming to Knighton on Remembrance Sunday, November 9, to take part in the next concert in the Knighton Concert Society series.

‘None that go return again’ has been devised by Concert Society president, Graham Trew.

Graham will perform songs by many composers who lost their lives in, or were seriously affected by, the Great War, accompanied by Igor Kennaway.

Dan (pictured) studied singing with Graham and was recently on stage in Malvern with Felicity Kendal in The Vortex.

Before that, he was in Hay Fever at the Haymarket Theatre with Dame Judi Dench and he has just returned from Germany where took a mainly German-speaking role in Hilde.

On Remembrance Sunday, he will read poetry and prose by, among others, Sassoon, Owen and Kipling.

“One of my long-term jobs has been at Tonbridge School and it was there that I gave Dan Stevens singing lessons and as much help as possible with his acting etc,” says Graham. “He took part in recitals for me there and it is good of him to fit coming to Knighton into his schedule.”

The concert will be at 3pm in St Edward’s Hall and tickets are available from the Knighton Bookshop and Barbara Vessey on 01547 529400.
