The reading of Posting Letters to the Moon<\/em> at The Dukes, Lancaster on 1 March is reviewed on the British Theatre Guide<\/a> site<\/p>\n

Lucy Fleming and Simon Williams come steeped in their own theatrical fame, either from stage, film or TV appearances, or on radio in The Archers<\/em>. This very week they both also appear in new cinema release The Viceroy’s House<\/em>, which just happens to be set in New Delhi where her father was stationed.<\/p>\n

So she can be excused if her voice just occasionally falters as she reads her mother’s adoring words of love to her father. Some people may think it was just acting, but a sold-out auditorium knew otherwise\u2014and promptly stifled its own sniffles when her husband joked: “Pull yourself together!”<\/p>\n

It was that kind of evening, one of sharing in another family’s heartfelt love.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
