Enjoyed 'Pygmalion' at the Stag Plaza in Sevenoaks, in a fresh but faithful adaptation by a new, young company 🎭

Much Ado about Nothing, RSC at Stratford. Lots of fun with the football theme and an engaging love story at its heart ❤️❤️ #MuchAdoAboutNothing #Shakespeare

Happy Laurence Olivier's birthday!

AI, AI, AI ... Bombarded with it on platforms now. I can do my historical research without it thank you. I can understand general things without it. I can write without it. And you are not having my data.

Today's artist without a (known) birthday is Duccio di Buoninsegna of Siena. Starting off with his great Ruccelai Madonna from 1285.

Faustus hath consulted his skryer to seeke angelick interaction (#AI), asking what are the hottest plaies on the London stage this summer?! #AIreviews #ChicagoSunne

The force is strong in this one -

Some GREAT good news for a change: The streets of Romania are erupting in celebration tonight. Nicusor Dan, Romania’s pro-EU candidate beats hard-right rival to win the presidential election. Many say he has done the impossible 53.92 vs 46.08%🥳 The world is rejecting Trumpism. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Alexander McAllister, born 15 May 1925. Remembered with love. Here he is with me in 1955.

Reflections on training day. In two recent incidents where colleagues behaved shamefully, I later found out that they were under severe personal stress. We need to take time to introduce ourselves to each other and check on each others' well-being *before starting* work. Don't let anyone stop you.

Walk in Regent's Park after work #London #May

Small, intense exhibition in a beautiful place #ArtemisiaGentileschi #Art #Paris

First Germany said NO to fascism and Trumpism. Then Canada said NO to fascism and Trumpism. And now Australia has said NO to fascism and Trumpism. The people of the world are speaking with their votes and we want democracy not authoritarianism. #SheShed

Wonderful Hockney exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, with a grand immersive musical finale featuring his opera designs 🎶 #Paris #Exhibition #DavidHockney

Back home after a fine concert by the BBC Philharmonic, conductor Geoffrey Paterson, & Anna Lapwood playing the organ for Saint Saens #3. Lots of Anna's young fans rewarded with an encore from "Train your Dragon". Kudos to the 2 pianists & Timpanist especially & a fine performance by everyone. 🎶👏😂🎹

I loved 'Ben and Imo'. Authentic portrayal of two wildly different personalities, brought together by an absolute devotion to making the best possible music. Brilliant writing by @Markravenhill.bsky.social, stunning performances from Samuel Barnett & Victoria Yeates @orangetreetheatre.bsky.social

It’s UTTERLY BRILLIANT. Saw this tonight and can’t recommend it highly enough. Wonderful in all regards.

Sunny walk at Toys Hill 🐾 #Dogs #Kent

TW: pregnancy loss 'You're not upset, are you? You know it doesn't mean anything? ' 'You can't really call it a baby' 27 years later: I'm still calling you a baby. You still mean something.

When I was a teenager, I heard a jazz trio in a bar in Stockbridge, Mass., play a sad tune that I liked a lot, and all I could remember was that the title had a word like "beach" or "ocean" in it, and it took me *decades* to figure out what it was.

Ukrainian Opera and Ballet Theatre, La Bohème. True love, a bewitching Musetta and a bit with a dog. And a stirring National Anthem of Ukraine: 'Fate shall yet smile on us....We too shall rule in our own land' #MusicInLondon #ClassicalMusic #ChurchillTheatre
