Eve White: Literary Agent

Hollywood star, and enthusiastic Mr Gum fan, Kate Winslet, read from Mr Gum and the Power Crystals at the Port Eliott Festival in St Germans, Cornwall on the 24th of July...

... As The Daily Mail writes: "the 35-year-old actress, who last year separated from husband, film director Sam Mendes, appeared to be enjoying the experience as much as the audience." Indeed, for those of you who missed Kate live at the festival there's a video on Youtube, available here, that shows her in full swing, performing expressively with a different voice and facial expression for each character. It's a truly impressive display, so much so that Mr Gum creator Andy Stanton later tweeted that the performance left him with goose bumps.

 To view pictures of Kate reading try The Sun, The Mirror, The Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph.
