They are doing the worse things they can do. Intentional cruelty. I hate to image what’s in store, but we have to be prepared.

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

Thoughts on recent #WestEnd experiences: Ballet Shoes (charming, i was seat dancing at the end), The Tempest with Sigourney Weaver (meh), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (well done and catchy ComeFromAway-like music), Kyoto (good, US audiences will like it). Message me for elaboration.
