'Donaldsonās Faustus is bombastic and loud, contrasted with times of great subtlety and clarity. It is a real tour-de-force performance with vulnerability exposed consistently that made this a performance which was utterly compelling.'

'Donaldson plays the scene depicting the detectiveās dependency on cocaine with a believable exhilaration and anguish'
The Stage
'..oppositeĀ Adam Donaldsonās excellent Holmes, here portrayed as a well-meaning, self-regarding nerd.'
Go to @LaurelsWhitley - Watch Seagulls, and sad, sad stories - And have an excellent evening out!

'Itās not often Iām moved to a full on cry, but such were the performances from @HawbagHaws, @AdamOfDonaldson & Judy Earl - & the nightmare situation they were facing - I'd pretty much forgotten they were pretending.' @samwonfor reviews Subterranea culturednortheast.co.uk/p/reā¦
Such a great team in place for this - canāt wait to get started š

Just got an 88p royalty cheque for an old TV appearance.
And thatās from a time before high finance invaded TV to turn it into Uberā¦
Ps. If you need a loan, hit me upā¦
On my mind a lot...The small-scale engagements which kept my career ticking over & massively expanded my skillset seem to have all but disappeared. That breadth of work meant I could walk into The NT in my 30s with confidence...where do young artists nurture their careers now?
"In 10 yearsā time weāre going to turn around and say āwhere are all the artists, where are all the stories, where are all the good ideas?ā"
@mrdavebyrne, @royalcourt Artistic Director, has called for a ārescue packageā to keep young people in the arts.

Farewell, Paul Auster.
Such a distinctive voice: inventive, mundane, absurd, personal - all at once!
I fell in love with this gem last year, and
Iāll be working through his other works for years to come. Bravo sir š
I eventually watched Road House last night - truly ludicrous fun. A proper silly 90s throwback!
Only thing missing was Nicholas Cage playing the alligator š
Again - soapbox moment - theatre can be as relevant as ever, even in the digital age, but itās a huge expense for the average person/family. Even if a clutch of affordable tickets are available, the headline prices at big shows deter audiences with limited disposable income.
Patti LuPone: āI feel as if Broadway is turning into Disneyland, circus or Las Vegasā¦ the ticket prices: outrageous. Thereās so many obstacles that prevent Theatre from being the tool that it should be in our society, which is an education.ā xitter.cf/PeteAscolese/status/17ā¦
In film, literature or theatre, that moment of story realisation - where everything changes - is always a thrill. Just experienced it in this book. Engrossed.
