The Thirty-Nine Steps as a slapstick comedy? In the round, with only four players and a minimal set? With endless visual gags and references to other Hitchcock classics? Yes please! @tbtlake knocked this one out of the park again and we are still giggling days later. Outstanding! โ€“ at Manchester, England

I never expected to cheer Prince Harry on: "That it takes a prince of the realm... to publicly identify how the crises in our press and politics are linked is remarkable. But so it is." bylinetimes.com/2023/06/16/jโ€ฆ โ€“ at Manchester, England

I adored 'Hopeland' by @iannmcdonald, a wonderful, resonant, mysterious, glorious *song* of a book, which made me cry with joy at the end, and wish that it could go on forever โ€“ at Manchester, England

What might Govt do if worried about us protesting against them? Wellโ€ฆ They could change โ€˜serious disruptionโ€™ in the Public Order Bill to mean โ€˜anything more than minorโ€™ Andโ€ฆ They are. @GreenJennyJones has tabled a fatal motion to try & stop thisโ€ฆ greenworld.org.uk/article/baโ€ฆ

CRITICAL Baroness @GreenJennyJones has tabled a rare "fatal motion" to stop a Tory amendment to Public Order Bill. Tories are changing โ€˜serious disruptionโ€™ of other peopleโ€™s day-to-day activities to mean โ€˜anything more than minorโ€™. Lords opposed it. Tories using secondary legislation to get it back in without change. If they win, imagine authoritarian Britain in a short space of time greenworld.org.uk/article/baโ€ฆ

What does 'suspicion of conspiracy to cause a public nuisance' actually entail in evidentiary terms? For some reason I am reminded of the phrase "Looking at me in a funny way": m.youtube.com/watch?v=g9ZNA3โ€ฆ โ€“ at Abergavenny, Wales

My current favourite daily distraction is Blossom (merriam-webster.com/games/blโ€ฆ). Easy to complete, but fun to see how high you can score (my average is 252, best 353). ๐ŸŒน ๐ŸŒผ ๐ŸŒบ ๐ŸŒท ๐Ÿ’ ๐ŸŒธ ๐Ÿต ๐Ÿ’ฎ ๐ŸŒป ๐ŸŒน โ€“ at Manchester, England

Around The World In 80 Days at @tbtlake was an absolute feast of a production, blessed with a delightful cast, inventive and humorous storytelling, and endlessly mesmerising stagecraft, music and choreography. It's on at @HullTruck in May if you can't see it in Keswick!
