AN evening with John Simpson, the acclaimed journalist, scheduled for tonight at the Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds has been postponed for next Friday, February 1.

Mr Simpson has been sent away on BBC assignment, but will return next week.

All ticket bookers have been contacted personally by the theatre, but if anyone else is interested in booking tickets, they can call the Theatre Royal box office on 01284 769505.

Money raised from this fundraising event will help to support the Theatre Royal’s community and education programme.

John Simpson, BBC World Affairs Editor, author and columnist, is one of the world’s most authoritative journalists, having reported from over 150 countries and 48 war zones.
