I just booked for the End of the F***ing World session and could not be more excited about it! Didn't have you down as a nihilist. You're normally so positive and nice to everybody. 🙂 |

Didn't have you down as a nihilist. You're normally so positive and nice to everybody. 🙂 ...and yet here I am all excited about booking for the end of the (f***ing!) world. Who knew, who knew... eh? ;) If it will help restore your faith in my joyful, optimistic nature, I also booked for Simon McBurney's "Theatre Making for the Future" this Thursday, so I do actually hope we get to see the future, and with theatre in it, too! :) |

I don't know if anyone is watching or bought tickets for other streams of the TurnUp concert but i'd highly recommend it. It's sensational. I mean, sensational. The whole thing is of the highest quality. It brought tears to my eyes at times and some of the performances were stunning. It also included some very unique things like a performance of For Good by a black Glinda (from Broadway) and black Elphaba (Alexia Khadime) which i think is the first time that has happened and the coming together of 4 of the Motormouth Maybelles from Hairspray.
The team behind it did an absolutely amazing job putting it together and it was really powerful.

I too saw the TurnUp concert last night and was blown away - so well organised and some brilliant performances - too many to list here. As a big Hairspray fan, I adored the 4 Motormouths doing I Know Where Ive Been.

The second Virtual Finborough Forum, hosted on 6 July 2020 with guest speaker Ameena Hamid. Ameena is an independent producer based in London and is company director and creative producer at Ameena Hamid Productions Ltd. She produces works that brings people of colour, LGBTQ+, those who identify as disabled, women and genderqueer theatre-makers to the stage and is particularly passionate about increasing inclusivity and representation in theatre. Follow @finboroughforum on Twitter for more information about future online meetings. Previous Finborough Forum meetings, including our June session with script consultant Philip Shelley, are available on our YouTube channel.
Watch now:
The Finborough Forum is an invitation-only group of playwrights, directors, designers and other theatre creatives. Members of the Finborough Forum are invited by the theatre to attend monthly meetings, where they take part in a Q&A with a wide range of industry guest speakers, followed by a chance to socialise with fellow theatre practitioners.
The group originally started life in October 2017 as the Finborough Theatre Writers' Group. After a successful two years, the group relaunched as the Finborough Forum in September 2019, expanding its remit to include theatre directors, designers and other creatives associated with the Finborough Theatre, in order to broaden the discussion and expand the camaraderie that has emerged between the playwrights in the group to other theatre practitioners.
The Finborough Forum is generously supported by The George Goetchius and Donald Howarth Society of Friend’s Awards.

The BAFTA webinars/zooms/call them what you will with the nominees in various categories are on Youtube, with the search words 'BAFTA guru' rather than the regular BAFTA Youtube channel.

There are still a few days left to watch, or rewatch, Marvellous on BBC i-Player. It's so life-affirmingly 'marvellous', I was smiling from beginning to end...except during the sad bits. If more people adopted Neil Baldwin's attitude to life, the world would be a better place.
Gemma & Toby Jones, Tony Curran, Greg McHugh and Nicholas Gleaves.
"So what's this got to do with theatre?" I hear you ask. Well there was going to be a stage version at the New Vic and Bolton Octagon this autumn, but it's now been postponed until next year, hopefully in the spring. I'm definitely going to try and see it.

#FinboroughForFree - streaming for a strictly limited time in August: SCROUNGER by Athena Stevens Performance from world premiere production at the Finborough Theatre in January 2020. ★★★★ Four Stars, Time Out ★★★★ Four Stars, London Living Large ★★★★ Four Stars, Close-Up Culture Nominated for 6 OffWestEnd Awards and a London Pub Theatres Standing Ovation Award.
On the streets of Elephant and Castle, everyone likes to make speculations about Scrounger. She needs help, she must not be aware of the complexities of the world, she is sent from the demons to torture her mum… at least according to her Nigerian Uber driver. Scrounger doesn’t care. A successful online personality, she’s got more power from her bedroom than anyone on the Southwark estates could dream of. She’s educated, she’s ballsy, and with a huge network of online allies, Scrounger is a woman who knows how to make change happen. That is, until an airline destroys her wheelchair. Inspired by real events and a lawsuit initiated by Stevens herself, Scrounger drives towards the realities of how Britain is failing its most vulnerable and the extreme cost paid by those seeking justice.

The Sky Arts channel is going free-to-air on Freeview from September. Sky Arts has an enormous amount of archive arts programming, from theatre to opera to pop concerts and fine art. It remains to be seen if some of that has to vanish from the schedule when it goes FTA due to rights issues, but they have announced that they'll be showing the ENO drive-in production of La Boheme and a new production from Theatre Royal Stratford East called "No Masks", based on the stories of key workers through the pandemic in East London. A very clever bit of brand-building from Sky... www.thestage.co.uk/news/news/sky-arts-to-become-free-from-september-with-new-programming-announced |

Fantastic line up for this one. Wonder if other West End venues/producers will follow suit?

I didn't want to recommend it until I'd seen it, but now I have, Kate Prince: Every Move She Makes is worth a watch on BBC iPlayer.
She and her husband have a cat flap 🐈 in their bi-folds. It rather spoils the aesthetic! ☹

A while ago I went to see a show called Labels at the Vault festival and absolutely loved it. I know it sounds like a strange rush of nostalgia, but the reason I am telling you this is because the show will feature as part of the Shedinburgh online festival, which will take place on Zoom between the 14th and the 31st of August, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. There are a few other cool things on the programme too - most notably perhaps Tim Crouch's My Arm - and tickets start at £4 (actually, donations, which allow you to watch the shows). |
