Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Thanks Joel I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. What a lovely company to work with they all are!

Beautiful paint frame for scenic backdrops. And a chandelier. Might be connected to Phantom Of the Opera ;)

OK I cheated these are not actually from a show. But a show should be made about all the scenic artists who worked in this paint frame on all the shows and when it was closed they left their shoes and an overall on the wall. # Drury Lane paint frame

A collection of old and varied shoes and an overall pinned to a very tall door.

Quiz question: What show are these shoes from? Answers below and then I’ll tell you.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Today I am acutely aware of my PDA. “Pathological Demand Avoidance” they say. Ha! reframed by non pathologisers as “Persistent Desire For Autonomy” actually it’s “Protection of Dreamland Awareness”

★★★★ COSI FAN TUTTE #EnglishNationalOpera - All's fairground in love and deceit, as conductor #DinisSousa paces a brilliant cast and orchestra perfectly in this classy revival -review @davidnice.bsky.social www.theartsdesk.com/opera/cosi-f...

You should come see Einstein on the Beach when we do it in Manchester.

Remember do not confuse hope with optimism.
Optimism waits for conditions to improve. Hope is a discipline practiced under bad conditions.

Theatre cannot save us.
But it can keep something alive that the present order depends on extinguishing: the sense that another way of being together is not only imaginable, but felt.
Fight for theatre that does not provide solutions but enacts the possibility that alternatives can be rehearsed.

Thanks Rowan pleased you had a good time :)
