Happy Hallowe’en! 💙🧡💙
In honour of #DianeKeaton, I watched The First Wives Club. It's still so funny & joyful, but it struck me that the interior of Shelly's apartment - which is clearly meant to be a trashy joke - is emulated today by many designers, as well as a certain president. We live in such a bad taste era.
That rumba from Alex, tho 🔥🔥🔥#Strictly
Gorgeous - my fave so far!
Lovely tribute to Singin’ In The Rain from Katya Jones and Lewis Cope tonight… even if absolutely no one on the actual dance programme seemed to spot it. #Strictly

I don’t normally like to draw attention to my chronic illnesses, but this is too funny and brilliant not to share… 😆😭😆
Isn't it wonderful? But can't claim any credit for it... they're the original worktops and flooring from 1908! 😍
You’ll have to excuse the pile of washing up by the sink, but when I walked into the kitchen this morning, the burnished creeper looked so beautiful hanging over the back door that I had to take a photo of it ❤️

I am excessively sad that Patricia Routledge has died at the grand old age of 96 - she was amazing ❤️ But the news comes so fast these days - and fuck me, we now have a female Archbishop of Canterbury! 😍 Amazing 🥰 www.bbc.com/news/article...
Sarah Mullally named as new Archbishop of Canterbury - BBC News
She becomes the first female leader of the Church of England, replacing Justin Welby who resigned over his handling of a safeguarding scandal.

The Marie Antoinette Style exhibition at the V&A is stunning. Lots of original artefacts, plus a fabulous collection of couture designs that have been inspired by her legacy. Definitely worth a visit!

🧵 Gentleman in DC on the suspension of @jimmykimmel.com:

“But you know who the real villains in this whole thing are?

The 60-some percent of American voters who didn’t [vote].”

It’s a sparkling Friday afternoon where I am… happy weekend, all!

I wrote this digital play 4 years ago &, post-pandemic & post-AI, I’m still really proud of it. Although it’s about UK politics, it’s scarily-prescient about the current US situation & contains beautiful, nuanced performances by the cast. @hcrichardson.bsky.social is right - art uplifts, art helps ❤️

From Rose Garden to Olive Garden.
More chairs and tables added to Trump’s White House patio. Do donors pay $1M to meet with him here?
From Rose Garden to Olive Garden.
Photo from the production of A Midsummer Night's Dream I directed 3 years ago. It never used to be one of my favourites, but my god, I LOVED directing this... so if anyone ever needs a director for a queer feminist version of Dream, I have the adaptation done already and will make myself available!
