Sat 5 rows behind this guy and have nothing but great things to say about the play. It was a great motivation to come back to London. Seeing @markhamillofficial.bsky.social was an added bonus :)
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING is wildly inventive, startlingly original & downright HILARIOUS! The entire cast is off-the-charts perfection from the opening moments until their well-deserved standing ovation at the curtain-call. Shakespeare has never been more FUN!!!

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

Breathe. Embrace your free time. Pour into your community. Respect what you can't control. Reject nihilism. Remember pace and perspective. Burnout is the enemy and helps no one, least of all yourself, and should be stridently avoided. That's the only way we're gonna get through this. And we will.

It’s like the MCSE boom, circa 2001. All these newly minted MSCEs but no practical operational knowledge.
The problem is that these cert holders are driving the ops people with actual real world experience crazy.
