The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars
But in ourselves, that we are underwings’

Memory flashed up from 7 years ago. FREE FIRE soundtrack 8-track promo for invada records. Some fine music on that OST. I didn’t inhale.

Thank goodness this never happened.

The Sinatra-Kershner version got far enough up the production ladder for the studio to produce a piece of artwork with Sinatra in the title role – This went out in an advertisement that appeared in Variety on November 9, 1970

Spent Saturday strolling around Oxford, and visited the amazing Pitt Rivers museum. (Almost as much stuff as in my office).

Since I saw ‘The Elephant Man’ on vhs oh so many years ago (early 80s), I knew I wanted to be in it one day. David Lynch’ powerful film making & extraordinary performances had such a mesmerising effect on me. Pic here from 2017, playing Dr Treves on stage. Took a while. Thank you Mr Lynch.

Cold foggy starry walk to the top of town. Found myself whistling ’Tubualr Bells’ for some reason?

So long 2024. been a mixed year tbh. Learnt a lot, mostly learnt I’ve more to learn.
Let down, picked up, laughed, cried, lost, found, let go & held on. Those I love are twelve months more loved.
I’ve made it this far already so a lot to be thankful for. Let’s see what 2025 brings….
Peace & Love x

Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin.

In tales of bravery in the face of horror, someone has to play the monster; fleetingly in this case, that someone is me. Proud to work with a great cast & crew. A dark time when light & humanity ultimately prevails. Kindness & courage - as important now as ever.

‘SKINAMARINK’
Tense, atmospheric, terrifying nothingness that makes you wait, forces you to lean in, doesn’t give you the release you need (or ordinarily expect) then makes you put all the lights on even though the bills have gone up again. Thanks to @jezconolly.bsky.social for the tip. *shudders*
