@the-rsc.bsky.social Superb for the RSC & Congratulations to Prasanna Puwanarajah who has won Best Director at this year's UK Theatre Awards for his direction of Twelfth Night. A magnificent production with the wonderful Freema Agyeman as Olivia and Michael Grady-Hall as Feste. Very much deserved.

I’m just glad it went to someone standing up for democracy instead of tearing it apart!

Excellent comments from Michael Heseltine who believes we must not abandon the shared laws of Europe & cannot afford to forget the lessons of history.
He warned that , extremists are back on the streets using immigration as a scapegoat. The young disagree 80% under 50 think we should be in the EU,

Who coined the phrase 'economic with the truth'?Well Mr Farage time for you to apologise to the British public yet again.

A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences. They’ve hacked phones, listened to ...

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

If he is really preparing for peace why is Benjamin Netanyahu continuing to kill children in bread queues & block aid delivery? Both sides need to commit to peace instead of trying to wipe out the existence of the community they don't happen to belong to.

A peerage can only be removed by an act of parliament. The last time that happened was in 1917.

Our House of Lords is completely unfit for purpose, and the likes of "Lady Mone" can keep her position for life without consequences.

Support of the far right is just like the 30s with growth of the extreme right wing in this country.Decent people stopped them .Our multi cultured & cosmoplitan society today is much better so we must not allow the Reform party to prosper or we are doomed morally & financially

Well done Keir Starmer for saying what you did about Farage's comments. It was blatantly racist and frankly having watched his deputy on QT why anybody can consider voting for their Party is beyond me but at the same time scary

Congratulations to the European Ryder Cup team for their victory The USA supporters were awful ( not their team) but can you expect from the 'children' of Trump

@the-rsc.bsky.social Brilliant adaptation by Simon Evans & Debris Stevenson #CyranoDeBergerac
Swan FPN. Adrian Lester outstanding in title role + superb returning RSC actors - Susannah Fielding, Scott Handy, Chris Nayak & Christian Patterson & entire team. "The body is the music is the word".

Measure for Measure review at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre: Read our review of Measure for Measure at the RSC: Emily Burns’ lucid modern-day adaptation paints a bleak picture of a corrupt political system

Splendid review from the Stage. Well done the Ensemble. I can't wait to see it again www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/meas...

@the-rsc.bsky.social Absolutely bowled over with #MeasureforMeasure last night (Press Night) Dir. Emily Burns really has nailed it.The finish was remarkeable. Hats off to all and Scottish actor, Isis Hainsworth really gave among the best performances of Isabella I have ever seen. Wonderful ending.

When will people realise that Farage will destroy the UK .He is just a toy dog following a grumpy old man who is based in Washinton but spends most of his time on a golf course. Oh wait a minute Farage does not spend much time at his wife's "home" in Clacton.

If Farage is foolishly allowed to form a Government this country will return to the Dark ages. It will be a most unpleasant country and personally destroy my winter years Wake up Britain.

@the-rsc.bsky.social elighted to hear that the brilliant Prasanna Puwanarajah for Twelfth Night @TheRSC
has been nominated for the Best Director (UK Theatre awards) I thought the wonderful performances of @MikeGradyhall
as Feste & Freema Agyeman as Olivia were outstanding. Very memorable shows .

Switzerland has had a wealth tax for as long as I remember. For everyone, not just the uber wealthy.
It’s really not a big deal.
No one leaves.
Don’t believe the scare stories

Yes really excellent. Emily Burns and the RSC have a winner. I urge alm to book.

Delighted that Nord Rhein Westphalia in Germany appear to be containing the extremists unlike here where a Tory MP has defected to the garage party.

@the-rsc.bsky.social Wonderful start for #MeasureforMeasure first preview night. Perfect adaption fo the current period Emily Burns has nailed it and the acting was first class.And as stated still in preview. Loved Isabella's farewell scene.

Thank you. Very kind

Can someone explain to me what is going on? I thought David Lammy had been appointed Dep PM but now I hear there is to be a Dep. Leadership contest. Are these separate posts?
,

Excellent production watched all the episodes. First class. Sheridan outstanding. Loved that the real Ann Ming was in the last scene. And you Daniel always professional & a great performance.Always hope that we can overcome injustices & thank you for your efforts both as an actor & as a person.

Farage has apologised for misleading us. Does he pay his partner when he stays at her house -he lives abroad not Clacton. He criticised the ex DPM. Perhaps he should be the ex leader of his Party as he seems to be economical with the truth or forgetful not qualities of a leader. Resign Farage

'Hypocrite' Nigel Farage didn't pay £44k stamp duty then blasted Angela Rayner Last year Nigel Farage announced he had bought a house in Clacton, Essex, but in fact it was his partner Laure Ferrari, 46, who shelled out almost £900,000 for the property

Just realised that possibly Nigel Farage appears to echo
everything that his friend Trump does. Economic with the truth.!https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/hypocrite-nigel-farage-didnt-pay-35858834#google_vignette

It is time people that Farage personal affairs are closely monitored. The judge said that Raynor was guilty but showed integrity in admitting her error. I gather that in comparison with Farage her discrepancies were minimal.

Now surely this needs to be investigated Far more serious than the one sorted out today. When are people going to learn tha he is of no value to the nation. He will continue to damage the country unless he is stopped.

Watched first 2 episodes. Splendid acting. Well done, Looking forward to the others.
