I feel like I spent decades either taking no notice of the budget or at best reading about it in the paper next day. Now it's impossible to get away from.

Last night: Inspector Morse: House of Ghosts at Norwich Theatre Royal. I really liked this! It made good use of the original material but also leant in to the theatrical setting. And Tom Chambers did a great Morse.

Very few people read my tweets so I feel I can subtweet this fairly safely - I have literally no idea why, in the year 2025, you would be so proud of appointing your first female artistic director. Do you think it's the 1990s or something?

Last night: Precipice at the NDT. Liked the dystopian aesthetic, excellent performances, the layered storyline, the sound design overall. Was not quite as sure about the story arc and all of the lyrics. Very good!

We're just advertising for an acrobat at Mimbre. Circus doesn't really use Spotlight but I thought I'd have a look just to cast the net wide - good lord they charge a lot don't they? To both sides.

A couple of days ago - Hamlet at the NT which blew me away. I thought the actors playing Gertrude and Ophelia were so good; I was in tears during Ophelia's mad scenes. Loved the set and costume design. And it whipped along despite not being obviously cut.

Last week - The Unbelievers at the Royal Court with Lovett favourite, Nicola Walker. This was a strange play and I'm not sure I really got under its skin, but there was something great in the juxtaposition of all human emotions within it. Should have had an interval.

It's very trendy for the woke left to mock the police these days, but this is the kind of thing that you and I might miss.

Maccabi Tel Aviv’s derby against Hapoel cancelled tonight in Israel’s league after riots in & around the stadium, leading to injuries.
Yeah, maybe the safety committee and West Midlands Police got it right?

The other day - Bryony Kimmings' Bog Witch at the new Soho Theatre in Walthamstow. I always think K's work is so well thought out and put together and I love her production values - nothing is ever done badly - but did this tell me anything new particularly? Not really, but it was a fun night out.

Last night: Elouise Eftos: Australia's First Attractive Comedian followed by John Tothill: This Must Be Heaven at Soho Theatre. Both excellent. There's something really uplifting about good comedy.

At the weekend, Listen Dance from Little Bulb at Shoreditch Town Hall. This was so charming and seemed to mean so much more than the sum of its parts. Dancing in a group, doing anything in a group, is so good for the soul.
