Then on to Bath Theatre Royal to catch North By Northwest, the new stage adaptation of Hitchcock's classic film, by Wise Children. Rip-roaring fun, great 1950s music, dance, costumes & imaginative stage-craft - loved Mount Rushmore, the cornfield & use of revolving doors! Well done Emma Rice & team!

Happy birthday Ange! Born on this day in 1940, British novelist Angela Carter #BOTD one of my research crushes... love this photo of her from Vogue 1975, including a fab article exploring fashion "at the hinge of the decade". Gawd knows what she would make of 2025.
