I went straight to your exquisite review after seeing the show in London last week. Even with the cast change your criticisms ring true. The trend to ignore historical context continues. Which is odd given the source material is so richly interesting.

Sounds fab. I love finding a new play that I wouldn't have thought of.

Thank you @markravenhill.bsky.social ! I will order it.

Snap! Just the one I'm enjoying this evening. I had the pleasure of attending David Johnston's lectures when at Queen's Belfast.

I'd add another voice to The Other Place. An astounding piece of theatre.

Hi there. I teach theatre in the UK.

This is great! We will give this a go.

Let the funny ones get on with it?

Key term: Punch word. That’s the important word in a punchline. The laughter trigger and it usually appears at the end of the punchline. Or near the end.

Great note @jasonpeck.bsky.social

Quite right! The dangers of interfering directors.

Absolutely agree. Craig's Raisin in the Sun was one for the most memorable productions I've seen this year.

Hello there. Lots going on here in South London. I do work with young people as directors and help them curate festivals of theatre.
