Emilia Fox performs with mother on-stage

London: Actress Emilia Fox shared the stage with her famous mother Joanna David at a special poetry reading event.

The `Silent Witness` star teamed up with her mother, who recently joined the cast of hit TV series `Downton Abbey`, to celebrate the work of tragic poet Sylvia Plath as part of the Josephine Hart Poetry Hour events, reported Daily Star.

The pair read a number of Plath`s poems at the British Library and the event was hosted by Plath`s daughter Frieda Hughes.

However, David said she was nervous about performing with her daughter in public.

"It`s scary to perform with your daughter. When you stumble over words you wonder if she`s thinking, `Oh God, stupid mother," she said.

Plath committed suicide in 1963.
