Urgh. So close.

Have you considered not watching, to see if that improves things?

Your prediction for this evening's match...?

Massive #fullmoon energy, ahead of tomorrow's Lunar Eclipse.
Sleep tight.

Watch out, dive-bombing seagulls, our girl is back!

I love the idea of some hotel receptionist saying “And we’re looking forward to welcoming Lord Mandelson next week as well“ and Hoyle saying “wait what”

Turns out I'm fluent (if painfully slow) in Norman English. One fir the CV I think.

You want "mysterious open-ended delay", you say? We got to Pyongyang Airport to find our guide had bought the wrong exit visa, so we might have to stay an extra night in the DPRK. Longest, scariest 172 minutes of my life (our phones having been confiscated on arrival 4 long days previously).

In due course I need to know in your take on the other literary adaptation dividing national opinion, "Wuthering Heights"...

But the film is audacious and wry, and very 'me'! Maybe Riz will adapt your King Lear one day...

And in what is normally the rapier duel at the end, you can almost feel the gears grinding, as they try to make the scene fit the conceit.

Art is a friend - he was for a time working on a screenplay based on one of my novels - which might be why I feel his role has been pruned a tad too much.

How long have you got?!
Despite the wanky things I usually hate (elision of characters, lines out of time) I loved the central 'Indian family empire' conceit; Inspired delivery of 'to be...'; and neat sketching of Fortinbras sub plot...

After the news this week, I would argue that Norwegians-skiing- and-shagging is less a subtext and more their only national plot line:

The sign of a great art fair?
Lots of paintings sold!
Congratulations on last night @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com and the Outsiders Arts Club team.

Just seen the film... So many intriguing choices... (Horatio swallowed into Ophelia, R+G into Laertes).

Nervous about seeing Riz Ahmed's. I really really want it to be good.

Never write him off. Not least as Hamlet is the best play ever (altho @stephenkb.bsky.social begs to differ).

Yes, although it kept her imprisoned. Unlike, say "&Juliet" which gave a Shakespearean heroine some agency.

Pulling the petals off your flowers, smashing up your dressing room, being restrained in the wings from going back on stage to confront your Ex. Honestly, Tom Stoppard missed a trick.

Although Ophelia gets to sit out the whole of Act 5, so - you know - cushy.

I loved the reworking in Rory Kineer's prod, when Ophelia was bundled off stage by Claudius's goons, visually 're-writing' her suicide.

Nooo. He doesn't hate her - he is terrified of his feelings for her. And his mother's apparently fickle heart has only reinforced that.

"Parts of Hamlet"? Please expand for me.

Using both sides of the paper.

My break-up blindsided me. Here's how to tell if your relationship isn't working Eve's husband asked for a divorce after six months. Here's how to fix a failing partnership and when to walk away.

Are you in danger of Settling, in your intimate relationship, like Eve Simmons was (the journalist in the picture)??

Here are the signs you are, and my advice to avoid it:

It sounds like a form of Interpretive Dance. Would watch.

Not sure you are the novel's target audience...

This is crying out for Airfix-style @warmovietheatre.bsky.social 'Build Your Own Canoe' merch.

Goodness, this gives me goosebumps. Voice of the nation.

But Kate, when the plane goes down, at least I'll have more than 100ml in my hand luggage. So, you know, swings and roundabouts.
