If you are lucky to find yourself in Cumbria over the next few days, here is a brilliant show at the Theatre by the Lake in Keswick. The Farmer’s Wife is inspired by Helen Rebanks’ book, written by Hannah Khalil and directed by Liz Stevenson. I cried my eyes out. It’s great.

The nuance and power of Sophie Okonedo stage performances are in a league of their own. I am there for anything and everything she appears in. She was a revelation in Medea and is perfect in this lovely adaptation of Turgenev giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

I have read many interviews with Margaret Atwood & this one, by Decca Aitkenhead, is my favourite of recent years. Really captures both Margaret Atwood & Peggy, her politics & her irrepressible sense of fun. You’ll chuckle. ‘God made the middle finger for a reason’ www.thetimes.com/article/631e...

Any good reviews of Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma that deal with the two-step, messed-up nature of female desire (male gaze & predator aesthetic in fantasy), othering of the non-binary, horror & the personification of death by teens as way of making it less incomprehensible? I haven’t seen any.
