Wow @mikedaviot.bsky.social is a world class actor. What a storyteller. His account of Duncan McCrae's life and work was utterly compelling. As I said to him afterwards I really need to up my game ๐Ÿ˜† Brilliant Mike!

Catherine Bisset plays Lady Bracknell in The Masks of Oscar Wilde. She has brown skin, red lipstick and an extravagant feathered hat.

The final scene from The Happy Prince. Picked clean of gold, the statue of the Prince is thrown on a rubbish dump along with the body of the Swallow. God and the Masks of Comedy and Tragedy watch on. Montage by Mark Bolsover.

That Fringe I started working with Matchmaker, a Canadian company working with local artists to make EdFringe more feasible. I directed The Masks of Oscar Wilde, Shaul Ezer's exploration of Wilde's life and works, with @catacts.bsky.social, Conor O'Dwyer, and images by @mdbolsover.bsky.social.

Just finished The Penguin. If Colin Farrell does win a lot things it'll be a travesty.
