Stoppard has died at 88.

The Brantley and Billington obituaries are the most notable so far; appreciative of the man and generously acknowledging their gradual reassessment of the philosophical and emotional content of his work.

Of which there is much more yet to be said.

Vale.

Going to start a drama school for musical theatre/opera singers that only teaches the art of guffawing and breaking into song in tavern scenes. "A toast, gentlemen!" etc. The RADA of carousing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEEb...

Came across them in 2008 - just realised they were already around for twenty years before that! How do they still have the energy?

The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

The animal in the walls - Robbie Moore Humans have tried to categorise fungus in many ways over the years; here Robbie Moore examines how this part-animal part-plant has been used to represent malevolent forces in gothic tales.

I don't think I nailed this piece, just between you and me, but here it is in full anyhow: on Gothic fungi www.griffithreview.com/articles/the...

Re-read this gem from @robbiemoore.bsky.social โ€” applies to everything:
โ€TH Huxley imagined a planet emptied of humanity but pulsing with fungal and algal life. He used the image as a way of refuting the idea that survival of the fittest necessarily means survival of the most complex or intelligentโ€

Didnโ€™t realise Bishop Brennan had done a version. Yes read by a Dubliner is very helpful too

Or an audiobook version! You miss the textual quirks but itโ€™s at least 50% more hilarious
