Withnail & I @BirminghamRep is hilarious & heartbreaking, a wild ride, a wicked script & a rocking musical - & it all ends with, well, as Hamlet. Superbly directed & designed. A privilege to witness it.

@ToBeOrNotcast brilliant production by Andrew Smith in all those early episodes; then many of the later episodes are produced by @J_T_Bowen, Lucie Richter-Mahr & an ep by D.Gwalia. An Arts Cooperative of sorts ...
I’ve been listening to back episodes of the podcast by @SallyBayley1, ‘A Reading Life, A Writing Life’.
I’m using them as a way to access my own calm space where the work of writing happens.
Meditative and inspirational.

'Forward' is Birmingham's motto, but given devastating council cuts, how possible is that for cultural organisations now? For the Sunday Mercury I've written about @unibirmingham's funding for artists, which brings some hope to the city ruthmillington.co.uk/culture…

Winteringham's @BirminghamRep has, according to Artistic Director @SeanFoleyJ, 'a unique "democratic" auditorium – no boxes, no stalls/circle division: every seat gets the same amazing view.' A prime example of the City's distinctive, egalitarian culture currently under threat.
On Saturday it will be 101 years since the birth of Graham Winteringham, architect. He is best known for designing the new Birmingham Rep theatre on Chamberlain Square which opened in 1971 and won a RIBA award in 1972. Read more on this week's blog here theironroom.wordpress.com/20…

Birmingham’s cultural figures - from @JoeLycett to Carlos Acosta (@CAcostaOfficial), @DuranDuran to Napalm Death (@officialND) – have warned 100% cuts to the council's funding of arts organisations will “devastate” the ecosystem in Britain’s second city.

The next in @paulsenwriter's excellent series of chats with Simon Schaffer - this one very topical and an issue I worry about as I have coursework I set my students that they could get AI to do for them.

A beautiful encapsulation of two completely different schools of rhetoric. And two very different ages of American politics separated by only a couple of years. @RestIsPolitics

'How can we know the dancer from the dance?' Yeats seeds an image of unalienated, perfectly self-expressive, joyous activity to aspire to, in individual & collective life, now that it's 2024 & always. Happy New Year, everybody.
