A special pilgrimage to St.George's Guildhall in #KingsLynn today - being stripped back to the 16th century beams which the Earl of Pembroke's Men once used (possibly inc. young William Shagspur). In a few years it will be restored to its 18th century form.

I've been making the most of these phenomenal performances from @schoolofnight.bsky.social before they disappear. I can't put into words how happy they've made me feel. They are the light in the dark. There's still time to watch them, if you'd like...

A wonderful 2nd night #SandsStudios last night for The Tragedy of Barnabas, banished to France for his vanity, crushed by his own mother when invading his homeland. Dickensian adventures with Bartleby Wilson, Beveridge sonnets and so much more. Thankyou, Rotherhithe! Photos:Scarab Pictures

Fraters Cox & Senton have been on a historical trail in #croatia -
Was Dubrovnik Illyria? For the Oxfordians this garden, in the Franciscan priory in Dubrovnik, could be the one that became Olivia's palace in #twelfthnight And these hedges would be the 'box trees' It certainly makes good staging!

Whenever I need to escape, this performance of The School of Ken does the trick immeasurably. It is full to the brim of compelling storytelling and exciting impro games, performed by members of @schoolofnight.bsky.social & @showstoppermusical.bsky.social . It's astounding 🎭

The School's been playing with strange fruit in #SandsStudios #Rotherhithe to make new pictures. #ClaireBilyard admired some of Kubrick's lenses before we started work, and the one and only #ChristineEdzard made it all happen. New photos to follow... @josephchancemj @coxitude @dylanmarkemery
