A riveting Shakespeare B Trust Research Conversation between Paul_Edmondson and Dame Janet Suzman today, about ‘Antony and Cleopatra’. Here’s a picture of her Cleopatra in The RSC’s 1972 production, dir. Trevor Nunn (Richard Johnson played Antony and Patrick Stewart played Enobarbus.)

RIP Alfred Brendel, a truly great musician. His recordings were one of the formative influences of my childhood. What a genius for characterisation he had, and what a heady combination of intellect, wit, and deep feeling. A generous man too. Irreplaceable.

Just finished reading this. About now & all of us - as individuals & as a society - it is centrally concerned with the complicity & collapse of a middle-aged academic. Mirroring a wildly unmoored but not altogether hopeless condition, it will stay with me. Recommended.

Today, my daughter’s school is shutting down. Why? Labour’s tax hikes on school fees & NI hikes on staff.  100s of distraught kids & parents.  A high-quality, nurturing school forced to close because of greedy, arrogant taxation. Disgusting.  All it does is pile more

Today is a very good day! Thank you to everyone who has supported the Britten as a Boy statue project. Young Benjamin will be gazing out to sea in Lowestoft very soon, inspiring generations to come that they too can achieve their ambitions, whatever they may be ☀️
