Today’s matinee jaunt: In Dealer's Choice at @donmarwarehouse.bsky.social is anyone able to break free of their compulsions..? Hammed Animashaun in particular lights things up in this revival. Very 90s masculine posturing! ♥️♦️♠️♣️ #TheatreSky #PatrickMarber

Thursday Leicester Square jaunts: When you're on the way to the cinema and accidentally walk onto the black & pink carpet for the Ballerina premiere! And the actual reason for being there - to see Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning (with Batman watching over us). Run, little Tom, run. #FilmSky

Thursday’s theatre jaunt: #Tina at Aldwych theatre. I broke my jukebox musical rule for this one & I'm very glad I did! Karis Anderson is heartbreaking as Tina Turner, and the songs are woven into her life story. This flew by & moved me more than I'd expected. Go see it before it ends in September.

Today’s matinee jaunt: #Retrograde at the Apollo Theatre. In these times, a warning of obeying in advance against creeping control gives this a particular relevance. Ivanno Jeremiah channels a commanding Sidney Poitier. Highly recommended 🎭 #TheatreSky #LondonTheatre
