Dame Judi Dench has accused younger actors of apathy and laziness and caring little for either their artistic heritage or whether they can even be heard speaking. She spoke at the unveiling of a blue plaque at the former Westminster home of Sir John Gielgud. It was attended by other speakers including the playwright Sir David Hare, with Sir Ian McKellen also among those in attendance.
