Dance Of Death, another magnificent Strindberg at Orange Tree Theatre. Edgar and Alice are trapped in hell. Long beyond verbal insults, they want to see blood. Bystander Kurt is forced to choose sides. Not the best place to be. Intense performances by Keen, Dillon, Streatfeild.

Elegant design greets me at Othello. Toby Jones's wonderfully spiteful, scheming Iago and David Harewood's charismatic, vulnerable Othello create a thrilling spiral down to shattering tragedy. Jones gives a masterclass on creepy villains.

Eye to eye with Mr Darcy, George IV, Jane Eyre, Col. Brandon, the Granthams in half circle, Poirot on the trail at Cosprop exhibition. The garments paired with iconic tunes tell the tales even before the cameras start rolling. Stunning craftsmenship, exquisite details. Fashion And Textile Museum

Macbeth: For the first time I get the full story of Lady M. Sublime performance by Lia Williams. Initially pushing M to heinous slaughter, she underestimates her conscience, makes amends by protecting the children. Her suicide on stage enriches her role and gives the Tomorrow speech more substance.

RSC Macbeth: While Heffernan's and Simm's M started in innocence and the prophecy stirred up a vision, Sam Heughan seems to already have the darkness in him and is easily persuaded by his ambitious wife. Intense performance by Lia Williams, see separate post. Glasgow gangster milieu convinces.

Creditors at Orange Tree Theatre What a delightfully vile play about a vindictive man destroying his ex-wife's marriage with a web of hints, allegations, insults. Was the joy in this cruelty fuelled by Strindberg's unhappy marriage? Strong trio Nicholas Farrell, Geraldine James, Charles Dance

#AWintersTale at @the-rsc.bsky.social is no tale of black & white. Bertie Carvel and John Light point out that both "brothers" have their demons. A strong Paulina and a pure Perdita move events towards reconciliation. Magical bear fight. Mystic sound carpet by Rhianna Compton.

My flight was cancelled, so I had more time for visiting places mentioned in the play MAKE IT HAPPEN by James Graham. After Calton Hill, here are the former RBS Building in St Andrews Square and the statues of Smith and Hume in Old Town. The play breathes Edinburgh through and through.

Enjoying the world premiere of Make It Happen by James Graham, a perfect portrayal. Goodwin's hubris is supported by our modern financial tools. It mirrors the arrogance of the golden boy traders who brought Herstatt Bank down in Germany and echoes the Lehman's urge for growth. They never learn.

James Graham you had me at "Greek Furies". This horror is timeless. Hubris and thirst for power destroy livelihoods, shake the financial markets. No remorse, no accountability. Sandy Grierson is marvellous as Goodwin, Brian Cox adds welcome humour. Make It Happen, Edinburgh

The Japanese artist Shinji Nakaba is a master of creating skulls and other anatomical forms from pearls no larger than the end of a finger tip. Nakaba considers these works “wearable sculptures,” as each pearl takes the form of a ring, necklace, or pin.

Tiny little pearl skulls arranged in a pattern that resembles a heart.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds

A tall, elegant bird with a long, pointed bill stands among lush green foliage. Its pale blue head feathers drape down its neck like streamers, and its chest displays a striking pattern of fine, dark lines over a white base.

Snacks can be had fom the Mill building on the premises in a picnic basket to take to the feet of the Château de l'Islette. I can recommend the baguette with foie de canard aux champignons forestiers and the bag with mixed biscuits from an Azay baker.

Chinon is a fortress much shaped by English Plantagenet King Henry II = Duke of Anjou. In 1492 Jeanne D'Arc famously recognized French King Charles VII here. I always left this bleak castle without gardens and with few furniture for a cloudy day like today.

The Château d'Angers is a medieval fortress considered impregnable. The 17 towers cover half a km of wall. As the outside is a mess with construction work, I add apostcard aerial view.

Park walk at Château de Serrant. Not many flowers, but they do use the lake and moat features to great effect. Beautiful and peaceful.

Le château de Serrant, home of the Prince de Ligne la Trémoïlle, lies far in the West of the Loire Valley. This is my first visit here and I start it with a cup of Twinings Earl Grey. Confusing, but comfortable and with a view of the castle.

As if a stunningly beautiful castle was not enough, Chambord offers an Equestrian Spectacle. Immensely talented, good-looking young men and woman lead you through the castles history and replay jousting which became forbidden, after King Henri II died from a lance through his eye.

Brigitte Uhrmann @theatrebridget.bsky.social · 23/05/2025

Chambord is the largest castle on the Loire. King François I showed his power. Walking on the roof that looks like an entire city is a treat. And the view is splendid.

Anne De Bretagne was forced to marry King Charles VIII to bring Brittany to France and later to marry his successor Louis XII. But she could not give France a male heir. Both her sons died young. The tombs she had erected for her parents and her sons tell the story of her losses. St Gatien, Tours.
