PATRICK MARMION reviews The Misanthrope at the National Theatre dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/arti…

Not a lot stranger than being human…Simon Usher’s UK premier of The Name, by Nobel prize winner Jon Fosse, nails that unfailingly. What seems like a small town Norwegian family soap opera @WhiteBearTheatr is a lyrical expression of human longing, bottled by a mesmerising cast.

Has @ManUtd ‘s Jim Ratcliffe not noticed his football team has been colonised by migrants? In his case for the worse.

Anne Reid, Maureen Lipman and Tom Conti reading Peter Shaffer's comedy about trouble in a stately home, written for Maggie Smith. Sounds fun and raising money for (or against?) Alzheimers. What's not to like!? Sunday 5.30 Ambassadors Theatre Tickets: atgtickets.com/shows/lettice…

Where other producers avoid critics, he would seek us out, sit next to us and give us a ribbing. He also prided himself on being the first producer to offer critics wine and nibbles on press nights…

RIP Bill Kenwright as a producer he was a theatrical colossus who sometimes called himself Mr Shaftesbury Avenue. He was as much a fixture in the West End as Nelson’s Column. His big warm laugh and mischievous grin were used to good effect...

Jeeves and Wooster @WiltsCreative is spiffing stuff… not sure about the others dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/ar…
RIP Michael Boyd: one of @RSC best leaders and a proper mensch. He mentored many and had a tough bullish spirit to go with tremendous intelligence, broad knowledge and experience. A real loss to theatre.
