★★ Netflix star, Joe Locke, is the selling point of a production that needs one writes @garynaylor85.bsky.social on Clarkston, Trafalgar Theatre, featuring two lads on a road to nowhere theartsdesk.com/theatre/clar...

If you’re a Gen Zer, you’ve probably heard of Heartstopper’s Joe Locke. I’m pretty sure ATG’s Gen Xers in the back office had also heard of him, as tickets are priced up to and beyond £100 for a 100 m...

The Lee Miller exhibition at the Tate is even better than I expected it to be.

25 years or so ago, I used to give a lecture on her and students would always come up at the end and ask me if it was actually true. The proof is on the walls.

Review: LIFERS, Southwark Playhouse

Synergy Theatre Projectt's commission hits hard, but will it hit the right people?

Gary Naylor @garynaylor85.bsky.social · 4d

Well, he was good at City too, but too much of a maverick to fit in. His shooting is poor, but everything else is marvellous and he can connect so well with the crowd.

The fit works too. He's a notch below CL level teams who will want more out of the data, but perfect for a mid-table side.

Smart play from a smart footballer.

LEE @parktheatrelondon.bsky.social - #LeeKrasner looks back on her life as an artist, and it's informative and interesting, though the play's format limits its potential, says @garynaylor85.bsky.social theartsdesk.com/theatre/lee-...

Like fellow New Yorker, Lee Miller, Lee Krasner changed her given name, the better to be accepted into what she called "The Boys Club" of 20th century Modern Art. Like Miller, she was known more for h...
