‘Game of Thrones’ star Emilia Clarke has announced a new project she’ll be overseeing in the coming weeks, as she enlists the help of some celebrity friends in reading poetry over Instagram.
The Emilia Clarke web series is a wonderful new idea from the actress, where she and her friends “who will be reading aloud poetry for the heart and soul.” The actress and her celebrity friends will be reading ‘The Poetry Pharmacy: Tried-and-True Prescriptions for the Heart, Mind and Soul’.
She started off her first entry in the series by saying to her followers: “Hi everyone, so this is just a little introductory post to something that I’ve been putting together over this time that we’ve been experiencing.”
Clarke then began to read aloud a poem about loneliness, which she dedicates to brain injury survivors and the charity Same You. Clarke previously revealed that she suffered two brain aneurysms while filming ‘Game of Thrones’.
Be sure to stay tuned over the coming weeks as the Emilia Clarke web series kicks off. [Source]

Dear NHS: 100 Stories to Say Thank You has been assembled from some of the best-known voices in the UK in a week and will be published in July
Adam Kay, who has topped bestseller charts with his stories of life as as junior doctor in This Is Going to Hurt, is pulling together a book of “love letters to the NHS” from major names including Paul McCartney, Michael Palin, Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson.
Kay started the project a week ago and already has 100 contributors signed up, from authors such as Lee Child, Jacqueline Wilson, EL James and Jilly Cooper to presenters including Graham Norton, Emily Maitliss and Peter Kay, actors from Dawn French to Emilia Clarke and Joanna Lumley, and sportspeople including Peter Crouch and Tanni Grey-Thompson.
Each is writing a personal story about how the NHS was there for them and how it changed their lives, with all profits from the book to go to NHS Charities Together and the Lullaby Trust, which supports parents bereaved of babies and young children.
“Every single one of us owes so much to the NHS. It is our single greatest achievement as a nation, always there for us, and never more so than now,” said Kay, a former junior doctor turned comedian and writer. “Since this project was conceived barely a week ago, I have been blown away by the number of people who have been in touch to share their amazing stories. I hope that the book, and the money it raises for charity, will in some way manage to say thank you to the heroes who are putting our lives before their own every day.”
Bill Bryson, Nick Hornby, Ian Rankin and Martin Freeman will also be among the letter writers, as will Caitlin Moran, Peter Capaldi and Zoe Ball. The book will be published on 9 July.
Publisher Orion’s Anna Valentine said the stories told were “by turns deeply moving, hilarious, hopeful and impassioned”.
Orion’s parent company, Hachette UK, recently began offering free ebooks to NHS workers, after author Mari Hannah was contacted by a frontline NHS worker telling her that her books were keeping her spirits up. [Source]
Dame Emma Thompson, Emilia Clarke and Margaret Atwood are set to perform on BBC arts show Front Row Late, Dame Mary Beard has revealed.
The historian and presenter, who hosts the programme, said in an About The BBC blog that it is “important to offer people access to exhibitions and performances” during the lockdown.
She added that she would “challenge anyone not to be simultaneously moved and cheered by Emma Thompson’s reading of a poem by John Donne”, which will air in the programme’s first episode of the new series.
She added that a reading of a Rudyard Kipling poem by Game Of Thrones star Clarke “prompts us all to ask if, how and why Kipling’s poetry can still work for us in our 21st century crises, despite its ‘baggage’ of imperialism”.
She also said that The Handmaid’s Tale author Atwood and her sister Ruth would perform a puppet version of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Masque Of The Red, which is a horror story about a pandemic.
An empty bottle and hand sanitiser “take starring roles”, she said, adding: “It’s as funny and engaging as it sounds.”
Dame Mary added that “the point of the arts is not just to soothe, though they can be very good at soothing”.
She said: “It is also to help us think harder.
“And that is why they are so essential at times like this, when we need all the intellectual resources we can possibly muster to make sense of the crisis we are in, and to frame the very different world that is bound to follow.”
The presenter said that she had “spent much of the past two weeks getting the hang of a lot of new and unfamiliar kit” so that she could film the programme from her home.
Front Row Late airs at 11.30pm on Thursday on BBC Two. [Source]
