British celebrities including Jude Law and playwright Tom Stoppard gave performances at the "Jungle" migrant camp in northern France on Sunday to draw attention to the plight of refugees facing imminent eviction.

Law, the star of Sherlock Holmes and The Talented Mr. Ripley, was spotted weaving his way through the mud and makeshift shacks to the Good Chance theater, which was set up by British volunteers last year.

Around 200 residents of the camp showed up to watch the performance by Law and a group of British actors, comedians and singers, including Tom Odell and Toby Jones.

Law helped organize a petition to Prime Minister David Cameron this week, urging him to press France for a delay to the demolition of the southern part of the camp, which could start as early as Tuesday.

Over 96,000 people, including over 150 public figures, have signed the letter.
