Look what arrived in the post from @ShakesInstitute @unibirmingham - it was both huge fun (especially residential modules) and a horrible uphill struggle (that's YOU I'm talking about dissertation) but I'm pleased I got there in the end. #Shakespeare #Masters – at Hoylake, England
I'm so surprised and delighted that my romantic-thriller short story ‘Other People’s Hands’ has won the September 2025 Henshaw Short Story Prize. Enormous thanks to the judges and @PressHenshaw @HobeckBooks You can read it and the other Prize winners here tinyurl.com/3kv4hdp7 – at Birkenhead, England

Officially, #Nosferatu is 2 hours 12 minutes. Somehow #RobertEggers makes it feel a painful 3 years 7 months long. Even when you leave halfway through like I did. #nosferatu2024 #Boring #sleepinducing @TheLight_UK @NosferatuFilm

Also... (#AlienRomulus ) it was so weird to have the resurrected Ash android refer to the only survivor of the Nostromo and pan to a picture of John Hurt - the first to die. I can only assume Sigourney understandably said no to her image being used. Good judgement Siggy....

#AlienRomulus was only okay. Too many references to the quadrilogy - reused dialogue, little originality. The director is clearly a franchise fan, which is nice. I was never bored, but wasn't excited or scared. And no characterisation came close to Ripley, Hicks, Clemens etc.

Good God. Shakespeare + #SigourneyWeaver ... I think a lie down might be needed.
'We are such stuff as dreams are made on.'
The legendary #SigourneyWeaver makes her West End debut as Prospero in this enchanting story of revenge and forgiveness. #TheTempest

Just seen the superb @NicoleScherzy and @realtomfrancis in @JamieLloydCo @SavoyTheatreLdn production of #SunsetBoulevard with @njhawkswell - both agree it may be the most remarkable, astonishing thing we've ever seen. Sheer brilliance.
