Few tickets left (until 19 Nov) but Hedda @orangetreetheatre.bsky.social is terrific, with Ibsen original very smartly adapted by Tanika Gupta and updated to post-war Britain and fringes of the film industry. Knock-out brittleness from Pearl Chanda as Hedda. orangetreetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/hed...

BBC radio drama is in grave danger. Without it we may lose the next generation of writing talent
Hundreds of hours of original plays have been cut from the corporation’s programming in recent years. If the trend continues, a valuable training ground for writers will be lost

Interessant article sobre la representació al cinema de la relació entre el poder i el sexe (de pagament i no). Sobre això, a la memòria em vé aquesta magnífica obra de @tanikagupta.bsky.social, 'Sugar Mummies' (2006), sobre turisme sexual i cosificació. elasombrario.publico.es/hay-muchas-f...
Sugar Mummies (2006), de Tanika Gupta, estrenada el 5 d'agost de 2006 al Royal Court Theatre Downstairs de Londres i publicada a Oberon Books.

There are so many aspects and nuances to the fall of the Assad regime in Syria. But what this will embolden an already brass-necked Israeli regime to worries me greatly. Let's not start me on the mainstream media wording of the ascending 'rebels' mostly ignoring the concerning aspects there too.
