BBC Two - LS Lowry: The Unheard Tapes The secretive artist revealed as never before, with his voice lip-synced by Ian McKellen.

This #Documentary on #LSLowry is really good!

An engaging story about an #artist who painted scenes from #workingclass life & poignant look at a very self effacing laconic man with a deep need to paint pictures of ordinary people.

This is what I call a "healthy rejection". It's from the highly regarded Fishamble Theatre Company.

They merely suggest looking at two points which I have now addressed.

Take heart; rejections can oft times be very "healthy" and not something to get down about!

In 'The Intellectual Life Of The British Working Class' #JonathanRose tries to provide an answer to this question amongst others & it's totally absorbing & insightful!

Just saw 'Till The Stars Come Down' by #BethSteel at The #TheatreRoyal.

It's a well written, well-crafted play and made for a highly enjoyable & thought provoking few hours.

So why not treat yourself? You'll laugh your knickers off...I know I did!
