Churchill In Moscow at Orange Tree Theatre. Expect dry discourse for this vital first meeting of Churchill and Stalin? Think again. Brenton gives his actors humour and pensive moments. Roger Allam, Peter Forbes are magnificent as leaders from different backgrounds on their way to an understanding.

I booked Oedipus the play at the Old Vic and got Oedipus the ballett. Yet, what powerful movements. Indira Varma is magnificent and conveys strong emotion, but Rami Malek, stiff and rather cold, could not move me. That won't do for a story of such woe.

Floral design accompanies us throughout our lives. Fabrics, prints, jewelry, sculpture, paintings. Artists use all sorts of material to praise the beauty of blossoms. "Flowers" at the Saatchi Gallery, a feelgood exhibition.

Break a leg. Churchill in Moscow at Orange Tree Theatre.

James Graham has done it again. A new play about a thrilling topic, a financial crash. Make It Happen with Brian Cox Following his work makes me breathless. How does he do it?

Congratulations to Nottingham Playhouse, Adam Penford and Stephanie Sirr for a well deserved award. Theatre of the Year

RIP Christopher Benjamin, last of the great character actors.

We lost Alan Rickman 9 years ago today. Still can't believe it. From Hans Gruber to Colonel Brandon, from Mark Antony to John Gabriel Borkman, he created intense, authentic performance. His kindness and generosity were known throughout the film and theatre industry. When will come such another? ♥️

Who else could lead the Stage Top 100 in theatre than James Graham . Sincere congratulations. Can't get enough of his excellent work. Revisiting Punch and Dear England this year.

A summer trip is taking shape. Hannah Morrish and Rosie Sheehy on a stage together. Can't miss this. The Old Vic Theatre, The Brightening Air, Conor McPherson

So happy to find a great Caliban #Forbesmasson and a fine Ariel #MasonAlexanderPark in #MuchAdo.

Congratulations to Sir Gareth.

BREAKING: Former US president Jimmy Carter has died aged 100 He was the oldest living former US president and also won the Nobel Peace Prize

Sharks upside down.

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

Since Trump got re-elected, I felt many of us felt the need to take ourselves away from the fire & self-protect. In truth, the fight for a better world to live in, felt a little futile. Now, seeing so many people on here who refused to disengage, has reignited the flame in me. Resist, good people!

Held all in bleak grey, TheTempest at Drury Lane Th. is powerful and straightforward. Sigourney Weaver is a composed, serene Prospero. Mason A.Park creates magic touches as Ariel. Forbes Masson 's Caliban in burlesque outfit is strong as endearing, wronged creature.

Splendid cast make Wilde's wit shine in #ImportanceOfBeingEarnest at NT. First and last tableau breath fresh air into well-known classic. Spectacular library. #AmandaLawrence and #RichardCant so moving as Prism and pastor.

Happy teatime with Ute at Swan next to Globe Theatre. The theme was Hänsel & Gretel with Blackforest Gateau, Gingerbread House, Duck Duck Mince Pie and Wild Forest Mushroom Pie.

Second visit to Royal Shakespeare Company Twelfth Night. What a splendid, sparkling press night. The stage was burning, scene applauses for Sam West and Bally Gill for several magical moments, wonderful chemistry in the emotional scenes and much love for Michael Grady-Hill. Bravo!

First production photos from RSC for Twelfth Night.

RSC TwelfthNight is vibrant, funny, cheeky. At first, bereavements and unrequited love set a sad tone, but soon bliss replaces grief. Sam West's dignified Malvolio touches deeply, when tormented. Bally Gill is a noble, smashing Orsino. Michael Grady-Hill's Feste, however, steals the show.

#London in a festive mood.

I love a solid, dark family drama. Hoping never to find in one's own family such a fight of siblings outsmarting each other due to greed and ambition. Thrilling, tough, intense. Great cast. #LittleFoxes #YoungVic #AnneMarieDuff #JohnLight #AnnaMadeley #MarkBonnar #SteffanRhodri

A wonderful thing about these London sculpture trails is how one finds corners, lanes, alleys one never saw before. What a WOW place is Waterhouse Square?

Another lovely sculpture trail in London, 12 penguins decked out in festive finery aim to support WWF. Meet Buddy The Elf, Snowy, Pullover Penguin, Percy The Party Penguin, Santa Paws and their mates. PenguinTrail FestiveFleetStreet

Happy first advent for all of you. May you find joy and peace in the festive season. And the time for baking.
