1 December 2015 03:11

Zoë and her husband, Gawn Grainger, attended the Evening Standard Theatre Awards, held at London's Old Vic Theatre, on 22 November. They were photographed on the glamorous event's red carpet with Lenny Henry, as well as at the champagne reception, for BBC Radio 2, ContactMusic.com, Zimbio and Getty Images.

Zoë has raised awareness of charity Dyslexia Action's Christmas Appeal on her Twitter profile. You can donate online to the fundraising campaign; the money raised will help the charity (of which Zoë is an ambassador) to support dyslexic children. Another way to support Dyslexia Action is to buy Margaret Rooke's book, Creative, Successful, Dyslexic: 23 High Achievers Share Their Stories, in which Zoë discusses her own experiences of dyslexia.

This Wednesday Zoë will be interviewed on Hospital Radio Reading, during The Matthew Rolland Show, which starts at 5pm (UK time). You can listen live online, via the radio station's website.

London's Barbican will screen Othello (1990) on 17 January at 3pm, as part of its RSC Shakespeare on Screen film season. The highly acclaimed production was performed on stage in Stratford-upon-Avon and London, in 1989, before being filmed. In the words of the Independent, Zoë 'turned the forgotten role of Emilia into a spellbinding portrait of divided loyalties'. Her co-stars include Willard White, Ian McKellen and Imogen Stubbs; the director is Trevor Nunn. For tickets and more details, please see the Barbican's website.
