We both enjoyed seeing this new musical at the National Theatre yesterday. Beautiful songs by Richard Hawley and choreography by our own stage director Lynne Page.

So nice to bump into the actor/director/writer Neil Bartlett at the Garrick Theatre in London before a gorgeous performance of his play, “Orlando”, adapted from the novel by Virginia Woolf.

Just got home after being interviewed and answering audience questions at Cambridge Union, Cambridge University. Always interesting to meet the students! Thanks for inviting me. Neil x

I really like this wistful song by Hamish Hawk, “Bridget St John”, from his new album “Angel Numbers”. Bridget St John was a singer/songwriter my friends and I used to listen to in the early 70s. Links below. Neil x

A new bust of the Soviet dictator was unveiled in Volgograd, Russia, as Putin arrived, invoking Stalin in a twisted defence of his war on Ukraine. Story at the link below.
