„I have an admittedly idealistic attachment to kindness, because kindness and kindliness means that you are acting on a natural instinct towards your kin…I think one really has to hang on to that.“
Tom Stoppard

Later, in a more perfect society,
someone else made just like me
is certain to appear and act freely.
One of my favourite plays ever, definitely my favourite Stoppard - can’t wait.
For the festive season, Tom Stoppard’s THE INVENTION OF LOVE takes the Main Stage, directed by Blanche McIntyre 💗
In this dream-like play, poet A E Housman revisits the bustling Oxford University of his youth - eternalised by his treasured friendships.

A wonderful articulation of what the loss of Paul Auster means. I read “The Brooklyn Follies” at 16 for my English class back in France and it remains one of the most formative books in my life.
For today’s @thetimes column I’ve written about why the death of Paul Auster cut so deep for so many of us

I went along to see @JabThePlay yesterday, what a wonderfully well-made play. Congrats @le_crass & @jamesliammcd! Catch it while you can.

I met Sir Tom Stoppard outside @Hamps_Theatre last night. He’s my absolute literary hero. He was so kind and generous in the couple of minutes he gave me, and I’m still pinching myself I got to express my admiration.
What a surreal time. Listening to Martin Scorsese talk about film and filmmaking was equal parts humbling, educational, inspirational. @BFI @edgarwright #LFF
I had an amazing time at @WiltonMusicHall last night seeing @MarkFarrellyUK’s “Quentin Crisp: Naked Hope”. An extraordinarily moving look at a singular life, and a cathartic piece about loneliness and living authentically.
What a great, thought-provoking evening at the @MuseeOrsay for the anniversary of @villa_albertine. @gaetanbruel
Screened “God’s Own Country” for students today and I got to interview Francis Lee after. He’s got so much insight to give, it was such a marvellous moment.
Listening to Sunday in the Park and opened my browser to find today’s Google doodle… #sundayforsondheim
I hosted an actual panel today without having to say “You’re on mute!” A potent conversation about improving mental health awareness and practices in the film industry. Thank you @LucyParmaTallon @Longersblade @Script_Chick for contributing and @Raindance for having me back.
The amazing @danteordie have released their documentary about “Skin Hunger”, their first performance after lockdown. A really moving and inspiring watch. youtu.be/R5e9hgVl8x8
Delighted to have been at the screening of @danteordie’s Skin Hunger documentary. What a moving piece of theatre and inspiring film.
Honestly the new season of #SexEducation had no right to give me so many feelings. A healthy reminder that teenage years are an awful mess, and it’s all downhill from there.
