Thrilled to have TWO contributions to this issue: one a review with Letty Thomas, who played an amazing Lavinia in Max Webster's 2025 RSC Titus, and the other my review of that production.
This Lavinia was noisy, angry, and very influenced by Gisele Pélicot. Strong story arc linking her to Titus.

One of those amazing evenings last night, watching a mix of professional & amateur singers perform #Carmen and finding out that two former students of mine were involved. I knew that Lucy Corley is a director, but I had no idea that Anna Townhill (Micaela) has a gorgeous soprano voice! So talented 🔥

I'm probably really late to this party, but I hadn't twigged till today that Isabella Whitney, of "Last Will and Testament" fame, wrote her "Nosegay" of little moral poems a good decade before Geoffrey Whitney published his book of little moral emblems.
I also hadn't realised that she's his sister.

Every tenner counts.
Come on, help me raise some funds for the #homeless in #Exeter this autumn -over £200 so far, which is great!
The bike route is genuinely a killer (at least, for me it is - up 1040m, 55km long), and it'll help to think you're willing me on.
