Mark Rylance delivering a brilliant comic turn as Tartuffe at the Marylebone theatre. Teeth seem to be inspired by Sir Les Patterson! Wonderful evening from the whole cast.

Tilda Swinton gives a tour de force solo performance in Man to Man. Still hoping that Mark Gatiss brings the RSC Arturo Ui to London.

This happened within sight of my house when I was nine. I wasn’t there - I was at school in London by then - but Penzance and Newlyn felt it for *decades*. The memorial garden on the cliffs is a hundred metres from where I scattered my parents’ ashes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penlee_...

Bloodsport : after Helen of Troy at Theatre Royal Stratford East is a cracking new play from Ava Pickett. Amazing dialogue and some sharp intakes of breath at the twists in the final scene. Recommended.

Loved @donmarwarehouse.bsky.social A Month in the Country, largely because casting very fine comedy actors (Mark Haddon, Alistair Petrie and Daniel Rigby) lightens the whole play. Great fun.

Very sorry to hear the Gate Theatre will close. Great little theatre above the Prince Albert pub in Notting Hill, moved to Camden to sort out access issues. Arts Council pulled 100% of their grant at the same time giving them little chance to build an audience at their new home.

Have you ever wondered how different the D-Day forecast would have been if Group Captain James Stagg had access to modern meteorological technology? Read www.rmets.org/sites/defaul... to find out whether, more than 80 years later, modern meteorology would have led to a different conclusion.

Electra / Persona with the starry Hoss / Blanchett coin toss casting. Great performances although some distracting creative choices detract. Making women wear high heels and walk down a steep staircase over discarded clothes is a metaphor I can do without.
