The Story @ Olivier Theatre…

Last night with Stuart went to see The Story at Olivier Theatre in London’s glitzy South Bank. Based on a true story of an ambitious African American journalist digs into race, ambition and journalistic responsibility. Letitia Wright, Ashley Thomas, Lorraine Toussaint and Wilf Scolding are terrific, though it loses its way a bit in Act Two.

Bayeux Tapestry @britishmuseum…

Earlier today, Stuart and I went to marvel at the fabulous Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum in London’s glitzy Bloomsbury. 

70m of embroidery, 10 colours, and 50kg of wool. Taking 3 years to make by Kentish nuns sewing Aesop in the margins for fun, the panels show 623 men, just 3 women, 190 horses, 37 ships, 35 dogs and 93 penises all waging a war of succession for the English throne. 

Harold’s arrow? Probably added in the 19th century. 

History has never looked this good.

Napoli 0 - 1 Arsenal…

A trip to Naples; lots of pizza, beach, dodgy walks home, Champions Club, a late goal, and three points. Nice. 

On the pitch Ødegaard unlocked Napoli’s defensive bunker with a superb 75th minute strike. Calm, patient and very grown up.

Onwards and upwards, my friends.

Arsenal 2 - 1 Chelsea..

It might still be early doors, but that felt like a very important win. Chelsea scored early, but the Gunners equalised, and our second goal was glorious.

Havertz and Odegaard were excellent, and Raya’s late save came with the sort of calm assurance that makes everyone breathe easy again.

Arsenal have always made grinding out one goal wins into an art form. Not pretty. Very effective.

Onwards and upwards, my friends.

Death Note: The Musical @barbicancentre…

Saturday night Stuart and I went to see manga and anime behemoth Death Note: The Musical at Barbican Theatre in London’s glitzy Barbican Centre. Pure chaotic Japanese magic where murder meets soaring vocals. The score is absurdly dramatic and the whole enterprise is gloriously unhinged. Such strong performances from @xander._ @colin_ryan and @tellyleung making death look like a fabulous career choice.

Arcadia @dukeofyorkstheatre…

Yesterday afternoon, we went to see Arcadia at Duke of York’s Theatre in London’s glitzy West End. Stuart and I got our brains properly melted by this complex, time-jumping play. Carrie Cracknell directs a brilliant cast featuring @isishainsworth, @nikkiamukabird, and the hilarious @oliverchris. It is classic Stoppard, packed with his trademark wit and a rare ability to cleverly blend sex jokes with the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Determinism and fractals never felt so wildly fun. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical @Evolution_ldn London…

Last night, Stuart and I went to see Grease: The Immersive Movie Musical at Evolution London in glitzy Battersea. Secret Cinema’s trademark attention to detail shines. Stephanie Costi, Lucy Penrose, Giórgios Michaelídes & Arcangelo Ciulla are fabulous. We sang, danced & laughed. Pure joy. Pure Grease.
