LOVE THIS!

'those who love Tuomainen’s sense of humour, there’s plenty to be found in this book. There’s Anni’s husband, the obsessive collector of Formula One memorabilia, such as racing driver’s old socks. Then there’s Anni’s client, an amateur sleuth...'

To The Wallace Collection yesterday for Grayson Perry: Delusions of Grandeur. Multi-layered with multiple personas, this was a visual and cerebral feast, & it was a great exercise to walk the main collection rooms afterwards to see what GP is responding to.

Over to Hackney Wick yesterday to see The Glass Menagerie at The Yard Theatre. Powerful production with excellent performances from all players. Lots of contemporary touches but Williams’ text is allowed to shine as brightly, and as devastatingly, as ever.
