Actress Miranda
Richardson helped a Bristol concert hall launch its
fund-raising appeal.
The Blackadder star hosted a Shakespearean concert at St
George's on Brandon Hill to boost its Musical Chairs
Appeal.
The show marked the anniversary of Shakespeare's birth
and death, as well as St George's Day.
The concert hall won a £1.47-million lottery award but
needs to raise more to pay for comfortable seating for
concert-goers.
People who buy a chair for £150 can have their name
engraved on a commemorative disk on the back of their
chair.
Miranda introduced musicians including soprano Emma
Kirkby and linked them with a mixture of readings about
the Bard.
Miranda, seen most recently in BBC1 drama The Scold's
Bridle, said: "This is a wonderful cause and people
will be able to see the benefit when the money is raised.
"I have been to many concerts here and my parents,
who live in Bristol, are loyal supporters of St
George's."
