Congratulations to one of our star performers – Margaret Tyzack - for her award at last night's Evening Standard Theatre Awards, winning a joint award for best actress with Penelope Wilton. The judges were bowled over by their performances in "The Chalk Garden" at The Donmar.

The evening also saw Kevin Spacey receive a special award for his major effort and tireless work in bringing The Old Vic back to life, and winning much deserved praise from fellow actors Dame Judi Dench & Kenneth Branagh for his achievement.

“His energy is paramount… he’s a totally committed man of the theatre, I think”, said Dame Judi.

All of us at Silksoundbooks congratulate Margaret on her fantastic achievement, and wish her many more awards and successes in the future.

Of course – both Margaret Tyzack and Dame Judi Dench can be heard in their very own Silksoundbooks audio book recordings of "The Railway Children" and "Evelina" .

Now we just have to try and find a time in Kevin Spacey’s busy schedule to record his favourite novel too!

Happy Listening
