Event: ReWired and Reading – Sonja Sohn in Conversation

Written by The Reader, 8th June 2010

The Reader Organisation is very excited to present a very special guest from Baltimore, USA...

ReWired and Reading: Sonja Sohn in Conversation
7.30pm, Tuesday 22nd June
at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall (Rodewald Suite)

Actor Sonja Sohn played Detective Kima Greggs in every series of The Wire. She talks with Jane Davis, Director of The Reader Organisation, about her life, being a punk poet, getting into acting and The Wire, and her decision to put her professional life on hold for a while in order to set up a not-for-profit company, ReWired For Change.

Sonja says:

I am absolutely thrilled to meet the people of Liverpool and the fans of not only The Wire, but The Reader Organisation as well. When I met Jane we spent hours getting to know one another and swapping stories of our experiences working in deprived communities.

I was impressed by Jane's passion and level of commitment to those The Reader Organisation serves and am delighted to participate in an event which supports such important work.

This is a charitable fundraising event for The Reader Organisation.

Tickets cost £10 and are available from the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall's box office: 0151 709 3789 & online.
