What better way to spend Halloween than at the Dickens Museum experiencing a pair of the author’s own creepy tales superbly told by @jamescswanton.bsky.social His physicality and use of lighting added extra dimensions to the text. Thoroughly recommended.
A photograph of the washroom in the cellar of the Dickens Museum in Bloomsbury, London after dark on Halloween with atmospheric lighting. The performance was conducted in a different room on the first floor with even more atmospheric lighting. Pity about the crass noisy Halloween party taking down the street playing completely inappropriate and music, but this did not phase James one jot or spoil the atmosphere.

On a cramped coach heading to Somerset for the weekend listening to David Boulter’s Whitby LP while reading @paulmagrs.bsky.social Dracula! It’s making me want to change course and head to the north east coast for a fish supper. Paul captures the personalities of the original TARDIS crew perfectly.

#TreadingWater out today! I saw a preview with cast & Director Gino Evans at the BFI a few weeks back. Incredibly powerful & moving. Not an easy watch, but helps increase understanding of what it’s like to live with severe anxiety, OCD & intrusive thoughts. Recommended. youtu.be/FdbHBOLlmS0?...
