Yesterday I went to see the phenomenal ballet MADDADDAM at the royal ballet and opera.
When I read Margaret Atwood’s dystopian epic of annihilation and survival I had no idea how on earth it could be put on stage and adapted into a ballet but the creative team blew me away.

The Nuremberg Trial by R W Cooper 📚
A fascinating read with lots of quotes and insights from the trials. I'm really interested in the trials - such a momentous historic event, the international collaboration, all the different languages, the evidence etc. I hope to plan a weekend to visit Nuremberg

I recently read Empire of Cotton by Sven Beckert 📚
Fascinating to read how cotton has defined and shaped global capitalism. It's a very detailed, well researched book spanning continents and centuries, and I found it a very informative read.
