A page with drawings and text boxes. The first text shows a conversation regarding Nathaniel being attacked by robbers between 'The Boss' and Stellan Holmgren. The picture and text next to it shows Lucy Collins accessing a locked room with a metal door. She sees a painting covered by a curtain and a chest of drawers containing documents. Below this are pictures of Nathaniel in bed. He has a black eye and cut face. Cecilia is tending to him, and kisses him gently on the side of his head.

If ever a man deserved a little head kiss... #NathanielTheScribe #TheMerryWidow #SnakeAndDagger #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt

A pencil drawn page showing a white haired man with his sleeves rolled up, painting a beautiful young woman, who has brown hair, partially tied back, then cascading over her shoulders in ringlets. She looks sad, but the painting makes her look more happy and confident, which the man apologies for in the text. She explains her life has not been easy, and those who should have looked after her, her family and her husband, have all let her down, leading to an uncertain future.

A pencil drawing of a young woman leaping from an open sash window. She is wearing a nightdress with a dressing gown over it, and has long, dark undressed hair.

My current #WIP. Here's #TheMerryWidow effecting a daring escape, leaping out of a window into the waiting safety net (sheet) held by her #SnakeAndDagger commrades. Taken from a brilliant pose by @adorkastock.com #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt

A simple pencil drawing. A woman stands naked in front of a man dressed in Georgian/Regency clothing. We see her only from the back. Her back shows long scars made by a riding crop. The man in front of her is visibly upset, and reaches his hand out towards her.

More #SnakeAndDagger. Nathaniel sees the extent of Cecilia's brutal treatment by her husband. 'If he were not dead, I would kill him myself, but he could never make you less beautiful.' #NSFW #nudity #scars #NathanielTheScribe #TheMerryWidow #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt

A pencil drawing of a woman and a man. The woman is young and beautiful with long dark hair, beautiful styled. The man has long white hair, a beard and mustache and wears oval, metal rimmed glasses.

1/3 Happy #SnakeAndDagger Sunday. One the surface, my least likely couple, until you learn their back stories. Cecilia #TheMerryWidow works using her charms for the organization to recruit new members. She was widowed young, which freed her from a brutal marriage.

Untitled A Mafia Makeover: Lehár’s Operetta Reimagined Scottish Opera’s latest reimagining of Franz Lehár’s The Merry Widow confidently sidesteps the gilded nostalgia of Belle Époque Paris, landing instead in the noir-ish shadows of 1950s New York. This updated adaptation, co-produced with D’Oyly Carte Opera and Opera Holland Park, sets out to reconcile the operetta's sentimental froth with the sharper contours of post-war American cynicism.

"...by planting Lehár’s lovers among gangsters & grifters, Scottish Opera invites its audience to consider love as negotiation; a dangerous, vulnerable, thrilling risk.

#TheMerryWidow

The contact sheet from silent film star Mae Murray's 1959 photo session with Cecil Beaton. Heavily made up and pantomiming a range of emotions, Murray appears to be reliving her glory days as a goddess of the silver screen. Is this an act of cruelty or charity on Mr. Beaton's part? Must it be one or the other?

Mae Day!
