Sam West wears a yellow ruff and makes a heart shape with his hands as Malvolio in the poster for Twelfth Night at the RSC

What better way to prepare for Xmas than seeing #TwelfthNight at the RSC. Superb cast, marvellous music & beautiful staging. Michael Grady-Hall is an outstanding fool. (That’s a good thing). This production is so deliciously funny your garters will be cross if you miss it!

Pecked to perfection: This rather splendid #cockerel with a basket of cherries can be found lurking in the back room of the bar of Sotericus at #Pompeii.

From rubble to restoration: The #theatre of Ancient #Messene back in 2004 and as it appears today. What a transformation! #Peloponnese #Greece #Archaeology #AncientBluesky

Blowing in the wind: A rare example of an anemoscope — an ancient device used to indicate the direction of the wind. It features the names of the winds and their quirky personifications, lips pursed in the act of blowing. #ParcoArcheologicodelCelio #Rome. #StormDarragh #AncientBluesky

This vibrantly painted tomb includes images of flowers, fruit and birds. The niches — that would have held the ashes of the deceased — still retain some of the names of those commemorated.

Theatre feature: RSC Becomes Government Trailblazer The RSC has been recruited for an innovative government scheme intended to boost employment figures.

Delighted that the Royal Shakespeare Company along with the Premier League and Channel 4 have been chosen as the trailblazers to help the young. www.britishtheatreguide.info/features/rsc...

An afternoon of beats and rhymes at the Kiln Theatre today, watching a stellar cast probe the vagaries of life, love & music in #ThePurists. Wickedly funny & definitely fly, don’t miss @jasperbritton.bsky.social, Tiffany Gray, Emma Kingston, Richard Pepple & Sule Rimi hanging out on the stoop

Faded fame: This rather smart lararium (shrine) can be found in the House of the Red Walls, #Pompeii. It once featured paintings of a helmet, greaves, shield & dagger, leading to the theory that this was the house of a retired #gladiator!

#Caturday at Ye Olde Thermopolium, where fast food isn’t as fast as it used to be! #Pompeii #Roman #Archaeology

Typographical error Due to a typing error, Saturday's story on local artist Jon Henninger mistakenly reported that Henninger's band mate Eric Lyday was on drugs. The story should have read that Lyday was on drums. The Sentinel regrets the error.

Well, now…

A fish and chip supper sits in a newspaper with a headline about a lost trawler in the promotional image for the play Reykjavik

If you haven't gone yet, you've only got a week to get down to Hampstead Theatre to see Richard Bean's new play #Reykjavik. It‘s a superb piece of #theatre – funny, sobering, moving. Excellent cast. An astute slice of working life – with chips!

So you should be, it was topnotch - saw it in both Stratford & London

You bet! A fine show!
