News round-up: Zoë's Christmas tweet, All On Her Own/Harlequinade competition and Stevie Smith event

Zoë's spreading Christmas cheer on Twitter with this lovely tweet!

If you're looking for a festive treat, there's still time to catch All On Her Own/Harlequinade, the Rattigan double bill starring Zoë, at London's Garrick Theatre. Performances resume on 28 December and continue until 13 January. Guardian members have the chance to make the experience even more special by entering a competition to win VIP tickets to the show plus five-star hotel accommodation.

Following her successful appearances in Stevie (at Chichester and Hampstead) and at Cheltenham Literature Festival, early next year Zoë will bring Stevie Smith's poetry to life once again. She's set to take part in Poet in the City and Faber & Faber's Stevie Smith event, which will be held at Kings Place, London, on 15 February (7-8:30pm). As Poet in the City explains, 'Smith's unique line drawings will be screened alongside live poetry readings and discussion' during the event, which will also feature Smith experts Will May, Frances Spalding and Rachel Cooke. You can buy tickets from the venue.

Finally, I wish every visitor to this website a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I intend to watch Zoë's 1977 version of Dickens's A Christmas Carol, in which she plays Belle, on Christmas Day. If you do too, it'd be lovely to know your thoughts about the programme.
