This - which appears to speak to me on many different levels - looks incredibly interesting...

Finally got to watch Sirat last night. Impressive tension building & a couple of horribly shocking moments that actually made me swear out loud 😱 Think Wages of Fear with ravers & a sad dad. Incredible sound design, so glad I experienced this large & loud at Odyssey cinema St Albans.

Genuinely unpredictable set of rarely performed album tracks & B-sides at last night’s #PetShopBoys gig at Electric Ballroom. Ranging from singalong favourites to rediscovered gems, this was a very special night where I felt lucky to be ‘One of the Crowd’,(not on the setlist unfortunately) #musicsky

You can still be shocked can't you, even after years of this shit. That sentence chilled me to my bones. To see an American president say that. To see him boast about it.

Totally with you on that! Funnily enough I thought of you when I was there, as it seemed like a place you would love.

Also enjoyed a chilling evening of Terror Tales of Cambridge by Frederick Cowles. These stories were brilliantly read by Robert Lloyd Parry in the atmospheric surroundings of the Leper Chapel, (where one of the stories was set).

A lovely Easter weekend in Cambridge. Visited the beautiful house & art gallery, #Kettle’sYard, a place to dream & enrich the soul. Was fascinated to see so many works by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, whose biopic, Savage Messiah, I had watched earlier in the week, (Kettle’s Yard gets a credit). #artsky

"From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'"

― Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it 😊

I have an aversion to hype, being a naturally impressionable sort who has been stung too many times, but the BFI’s noisy recent championing of the largely forgotten British B movie, Strongroom (1962), is totally justified. Banger.

I do love a good dacha drama, so I had a great time with Summerfolk @nationaltheatre.org.uk
A vibrant adaptation, fabulously staged and performed to perfection by a wonderful ensemble.

Some good news! I’m curating / introducing a #PreCode double bill of Scarface (1932) and Female (1933) at the Chiswick Cinema on April 8th. All shares appreciated. Tell your friends! Etc. #PreCodeApril

Love to see it!

MFC Chicken rockin’ the joint at the Crooked Crow Bar in Leighton Buzzard last night. These guys are dynamite! I don’t need to know the question, chicken is the answer. #musicsky

I missed it in Bologna a couple of years ago too!

A birthday weekend of wonders!

- Wes Anderson Archives, Design Museum
- Into the Woods, Bridge Theatre
- Starling murmuration, Tring reservoir
- Natural History Museum, Tring

I had a ticket for this but couldn’t make it in the end. Hope to see it some other time.

An evening of beautiful music at the Barbican last night in the company of Andrew Bird & the Britten Sinfonia performing The Mysterious Production of Eggs.

Left cold by the production of Man and Boy at the National. Couldn’t get on with the staging at all, it was just actors jumping on and off tables for 2 hours. Sorry, but not for me. #theatresky

What could Thames Water look like in public ownership? 1) A supervisory governing board with representatives from households, workers, communities, environmental groups, local councils and water experts.

Dirty Business has made it crystal clear - it's just UNACCEPTABLE for our water to be run for profit for shareholders and creditors

In public ownership, Thames Water could be accountable to households, workers, anti sewage groups, local councillors 👇

Excellent, more of this sort of thing please 😃

I didn’t know about picturehouse central 😫

Oh it’s that same greedy git who wants to close down the @princecharlescinema.com

It was the final performance too. At least it still went ahead.

Second play at the #RoyalCourt was Guess How Much I Love You? I’d been looking forward to this one, so it was disappointing that Rosie Sheey couldn’t perform today. A very moving & honest play about a painful subject, which still finds moments of humour. Robert Aramayo excellent. #theatresky

Having a 2 play day at the #RoyalCourt theatre. First up, The Shitheads! Plays out like a state of the nation satire that happens to be set in prehistoric times, tribalism dragging everyone back to the cave. A unique, ambitious debut featuring some fantastic puppetry, loved it. #theatresky

Suede were on top form in Cambridge last night. Love the live tracks from the new album. Tons of energy.
