Very much enjoying the Bob Monkhouse autobiography, as I was always told I would (I’m only 32 years late to it). This story of an early gig has a punchline I wasn’t expecting from Bob

Interesting takes from @davidnice.bsky.social for @theartsdesk.bsky.social about Igor Levit’s Satie (which I didn’t see) and William Kentridge’s Shostakovich film (which I did). I found the film visually arresting - Shostakovich as collapsible cardboard - but didn’t fully buy its message

My boy has a university calculus exam this morning and is allowed to take in 6 pages of notes. He said he got everything he wanted onto 5 pages so on the sixth wrote the numbers 1-10 ‘in case they come up’

Soul-scouring performances from Samuel Barnett and Victoria Yeates, though Mark Ravenhill plays fast and loose with the real Britten and Imogen Holst. Absolutely worth seeing, all the same. Another triumph at the @orangetreetheatre.bsky.social after the superlative 'Churchill in Moscow'.

How do you pressure someone to be fired? You can pressure them to resign, or pressure someone else to fire them, but this is just gobbledegook
