The first five-star play I've seen in quite a while. Ilford Boy is raw, raucous and terrific entertainment. @DonmarWarehouse thetimes.com/article/067e742…

Just finished this on Sunday. It is exquisite. I cannot recall being more profoundly moved by a book for decades...

Almost no plot. Almost nothing to it at all. A love scene that never happens. No resolution because there is nothing really to resolve. Memory, loss, healing. Real joy, but fleeting. A painting uncovered as lots of other lovely things fade away. One of best books I’ve read for ages.

Not difficult the identify the year of last night's CALL MY BLUFF as the panelists all looked as though they'd spent six months in the tropics. Duly confirmed in the credits as the summer of 1976. My first term at RADA. Happy days...

This is how thieves can swipe your bag without you noticing. I lost my passport and my devices, so couldn't fly home. Later I'll share what happened next, including how I tracked down some of my possessions, how you remotely wipe your devices, how I got an emergency travel document, and how amazingly kind people were to me. Please share this video, and you might save someone else from going through the same thing. Thanks x #robbery #mugging #barcelona
