Stephen Sharkey @steshark.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Not recommended for bedtime reading, recommended for any other time of day. ‘A Stephen King thriller hijacked by Proust’ it says on the back. Maybe a French noir rewritten by Jon Fosse. Anyway it’s stunning. #LaurentMauvignier 020 0
Stephen Sharkey @steshark.bsky.social · 11/09/2025Proud to announce this is on in Stratford next spring. The brilliant Mark Gatiss in the title role, and the brilliant Sean Linnen directing. Brecht’s savage satire about how democracy can be eaten alive is unfortunately very timely. 071 0
Stephen Sharkey @steshark.bsky.social · 19/04/2025Wishing the cast and crew of RED OR DEAD at @royalcourtliv.bsky.social a lovely last night. And congrats to adaptor-director Philip Breen. It’s a wonderful show, full of passion and poetry. Love the community chorus too. And this is from a Blue! 010 0

Stephen Sharkey @steshark.bsky.social · 23/01/2025This is seriously seductive writing. Mesmerising. Shocking and unflinching, humane and wry. All the good adjectives. www.theguardian.com/books/2024/j... 330 0
