I imagine SJP is in fine voice just now. The football stadium, not the Sex and the City actor.

I saw Robert Stephens as Falstaff. He’s an actor I love (The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, Box of Delights etc), and it’s probably the most critically lauded stage Falstaff I’ve seen, but it’s not my favourite. That’s David Warner, in Michael Boyd’s Henriad at the RSC in the 2000’s.

Reading these wild Daphne Du Maurier stories and finding surprising affinities with those outré '60s noirs I've been watching this week: tales of paranoia, hallucination and deception. Great fun!

"there was about her an undeniable smallness, an almost deliberate contraction...She had the thin light bones of a bird, a low quiet voice, an almost noiseless method of walking, so that always she seemed to take up less room than other people." #BookSky 💙📚 jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2025/02/20/l...

Now finished: what a book! Twistier than any book has the right to be, and so so clever...no one does state-of-the-nation like @jonathancoe.bsky.social and he does it with such sleights of hand, verbal dexterity, humour, much more. Real skill to write about serious stuff that's also hugely enjoyable

Rachel Ferguson was a great writer, the first woman to write a coumn for Punch, and a terrific snob. Her novel The Brontes Went To Woolworths is remarkable. Here she is on the suffragette Emily Davidson.
