Alison Steadman reads ‘Recuerdo’ in memory of parents and ‘lovely’ sisters – watch

Alison Steadman reads “Recuerdo” by Edna St Vincent Millay in remembrance of both her parents and her two “lovely” sisters. “It’s very sad but I comfort myself in the memory that I had such kindness given to me,” Steadman says. The short film, directed by Oliver Parker and shot at Dr Johnson’s House in London, is part of a series to commemorate Celebration Day – a nationwide movement that encourages Brits to take a moment and remember those we have lost who have shaped our lives. Curated by Allie Esiri, the films will be published exclusively on The Independent in the lead-up to Celebration Day on Monday 25 May.
