ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

So do my readers...

★★★★ Smooth return for Kinks musical Sunny Afternoon, at Alexandra Palace Theatre: evergreen songs lift somewhat formulaic musical writes @garynaylor85.bsky.social theartsdesk.com/theatre/sunn...

I first took my sone to see AMND when he was seven years old. He laughed pretty much from start to finish. I said, "Did you understand what they were saying?" "Not much of it". "Why were you laughing?" "It's funny."

A little more seriously, I think he intended the plays to be written in air, disappearing without being recorded in prompt books, like an improv show in the 80s.

I genuinely think that he'd laugh at all the academic analysis (enlightening as it is) because he was an entrepreneur first and foremost
