Magical trip last night to Watford Palace Theatre to see Rufus Hound conjure up a spellbinding mix of tricks, comedy and illusions in The Mesmerist. Genuinely jaw-dropping, this show is clever, witty and not to be missed. Go on, pick a ticket, any ticket…

Paying tribute to his grandfather whose 1983 show at the same venue lasted only one night the actor and comedian skilfully unveils a big reveal worthy of Inside No 9

What better way to prepare for Xmas than seeing #TwelfthNight at the RSC. Superb cast, marvellous music & beautiful staging. Michael Grady-Hall is an outstanding fool. (That’s a good thing). This production is so deliciously funny your garters will be cross if you miss it!

Pecked to perfection: This rather splendid #cockerel with a basket of cherries can be found lurking in the back room of the bar of Sotericus at #Pompeii. #FrescoFriday #Roman #Archaeology #AncientBluesky 📷 Me

Blowing in the wind: A rare example of an anemoscope — an ancient device used to indicate the direction of the wind. It features the names of the winds and their quirky personifications, lips pursed in the act of blowing. #ParcoArcheologicodelCelio #Rome. #StormDarragh #AncientBluesky 🎥 Me

This vibrantly painted tomb includes images of flowers, fruit and birds. The niches — that would have held the ashes of the deceased — still retain some of the names of those commemorated. 2nd century AD, Museo delle Terme. #Archaeology #TombTuesday #AncientBluesky 📷 Me

An afternoon of beats and rhymes at the Kiln Theatre today, watching a stellar cast probe the vagaries of life, love & music in #ThePurists. Wickedly funny & definitely fly, don’t miss @jasperbritton.bsky.social, Tiffany Gray, Emma Kingston, Richard Pepple & Sule Rimi hanging out on the stoop

Faded fame: This rather smart lararium (shrine) can be found in the House of the Red Walls, #Pompeii. It once featured paintings of a helmet, greaves, shield & dagger, leading to the theory that this was the house of a retired #gladiator! #Roman #FrescoFriday #GladiatorBandwagon 📷 Me

Well, now…
Typographical error
Due to a typing error, Saturday's story on local artist Jon Henninger mistakenly reported that Henninger's band mate Eric Lyday was on drugs. The story should have read that Lyday was on drums. The Sentinel regrets the error.

If you haven't gone yet, you've only got a week to get down to Hampstead Theatre to see Richard Bean's new play #Reykjavik. It‘s a superb piece of #theatre – funny, sobering, moving. Excellent cast. An astute slice of working life – with chips!
