Now seems like a good time to share this series I made about how writers construct 'truth'. I look at memoir, novels and autofiction and talk to a host of incredible people including Olivia Laing, @sathnam.bsky.social and @jennashworth.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

"To imagine also is life: the life that is only imagined. Even to think about it is to live.... It doesn't always work, but I do my best. See what happens. Go on in any case living." Love Sally Rooney's writing so much. Intermezzo is her best book yet 💔 #Books #AmReading #Literature

"Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age." Gorgeous production of James Joyce's The Dead at Wilton's Music Hall with Niamh Cusack & the Fourth Choir 💔 #theatre #literature #London

So glad to have caught this production of Sondheim's Road Show at this fab venue. Great cast, strong leads in Reece Richardson & Oliver Sidney, & some very affecting moments (Addie & Hollie's duet 💔) Great start to 2025's theatre going #StephenSondheim #RoadShow

Blissful writing and a magisterial cast - basically Roger “King of Droll” Allam, Stephanie Cole, John Finnemore and some young whippersnapper named Benedict Cumberbatch… whatever happened to him? A glory.

Resolution for the new year - as ever - read more! My novel of 2024 tho' has to be Alan Hollinghurst's Our Evenings. It's like immersing yourself in a warm bath with a really good G&T. Sublime and well worth the wait #Books #LGBTQ #Fiction #Booksky

Everyone seems to think the Muppets are wonderful but I think it’s notable that Michael Caine, famously one of the nicest men in Hollywood and a good judge of character, never worked with them again after Muppet Christmas Carol

Brilliant piece of film making as two out of work actors decide to stage Hamlet in the world of Grand Theft Auto. Funny, surreal & touching #Cinema #Shakespeare

Eternally grateful for science and medicine, and the armies of intelligent, committed, compassionate people who work and have worked tirelessly across the globe but who somehow seem to get a lot less media attention than stupid, ignorant, hate-fuelling, selfish, bigots #WorldAidsDay #HIV

Loved Breach Theatre's After the Act at Chichester Festival Theatre, a fabulous, funny, and rightfully furious look at the creation & impact of the Tories' hated Section 28 banning local authorities in the 1980s from "promoting" homosexuality #LGBTQ #Theatrehttps://www.breachtheatre.com/#news

Read Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's for the first time (while on a visit to New York) Very engaging, sharply written story (tho with some uncomfortable, of-its-time, language & remarks) and with heavy overtones of Isherwood's Sally Bowles #books #literature #AmReading
