Actress-turned-politician Glenda Jackson is returning to the London stage for the first time in 10 years to honor the Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi with a public birthday party. The Oscar-winning British Member of Parliament will be treading the boards alongside actor Alan Rickman, comedienne Maureen Lipman, newsreader Jon Snow and writer Kathy Lette at the Royal Court Theater in London on Sunday. Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and the Dalai Lama will all despatch birthday greetings on video and in writing, while Aung San Suu Kyi herself will address the audience in a video smuggled out of her Rangoon home - where she remains under house arrest. Jackson says, "The entertainment for the birthday party is a bit of fun - more interesting than people giving speeches."
