Last night Stuart and I went to see my mate Stephen Daldry revival of David Hare's fantastic play Skylight at the Wyndham's Theatre in London's glitzy West End.
Starring Bill Nighy and Carey Mulligan in her West End debut the play tells the story of two ex-lovers, an underheated flat and a spaghetti bolognese.
The chemistry between the leads is spot on, the acting superb and the juxtaposition between the private pain and public rage of the characters hits you right in the heart.
Everything about this production is perfectly judged and perfectly placed, even down to the way the passage of time is denoted through the lights going on and off in the windows of Bob Crowley's magnificent tower-block set.
If you want to see an excellent play and excellent acting you'd be hard pushed to find anything better on the London stage at the moment.
Quote Of The Day
"Victory goes to the player who makes the next-to-last mistake - Chessmaster Savielly Grigorievitch Tartakower (1887-1956)"

Blink...
Paul came to stay last night, I cooked and we stayed in and watched some telly.
We rounded the night off with the fantastic Doctor Who episode Blink. For the umpteenth time.
The Weeping Angels still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Gives me the heebeegeebees.
Shame Carey Mulligan's Sally Sparrow didn't become the new assistant - but guess she had bigger fish to fry.
