That said, even just speaking truth to power feels dangerous these days. Jesse Welles is doing that - prolifically - and he's naming names.

His Massey Hall show may have been the best concert I have ever been to, and I've been to a few.

Looking forward to #MariposaFolk #Hillside #Summerfolk

Saw in preview, so glad it's gelled. Thought the key third act especially warm, funny, touching. Justine Mitchell’s Maria Lvovna shudderingly falling for Alex Lawther's Vlass was a delight. Terrific side-swipe at Chekhov, too. #Summerfolk.

Summerfolk at Olivier Theatre.
Maxim Gorky does Chekhov. Very long first half, then it wakes up. Sharp ensemble led by Alex Lawther, Doon Macichan, Paul Ready, Justine Mitchell & Sophie Rundle. Politics crash party for proper pointed ending.

The National Theatre has announced complete casting for the new adaptation of Maxim Gorky’s Summerfolk The National Theatre has announced complete casting for Nina Raine and Moses Raine’s new version of Maxim Gorky’s Summerfolk, a razor-sharp portrait of class, privilege and denial. It’s a hot, beautiful summer in 1905, and Russia’s elite retreat to the countryside to swim, sip champagne and start affairs. When they’re having this much fun, why care about anything else? But Varvara just can’t shake the feeling that their holiday idyll is built on borrowed time.

What summer is all about! A beautiful warm day, not a cloud in sight, and a breeze off Georgian Bay. Danny Michel at Summerfolk 50.

When I spend a week at a scientific conference, I’m always inspired to be a better scientist.

When I spend a weekend at a music festival like #Summerfolk, I’m always inspired to be a better human.

Thanks Summerfolk 2025! And in particular, @ronsexsmith.bsky.social, #Boreal and #NatalieMacMaster.

@jimmykeelo.bsky.social so disappointed there are no 50th Anniversary Tees. Neither in person or online. #Summerfolk
