Full review from THE STAGE…

I wouldn’t be too judgmental with critics. They’re buying what RSC was selling.
And likely influenced as they were surrounded by adoring SamFans who couldn’t help but swoon… being that close.
Acknowledging Sam’s known hunk status but going on to assess his performance respectfully…has merit.

It’s disappointing as Lia Williams, a veteran British stage star, does fine work … though perhaps too subtle for director’s loud concept. And her part has been majorly altered which Lia handles beautifully.

TBH… the production emphasizes his physical presence (white tank tops)…(too much, I think) AND thanks to stereotypical assumption…the more fascinating choice of Lady M being several years older seems implausible IE why would such a hot guy be with an aging, not classically attractive woman…😟

Great review for Macbeth!
I saw the 1st preview…clearly ALOT was changed-for the better.
TBH, Lia Williams stood out for me as well…and it seems they’ve given her even more deserved focus… and Sam has found his footing… so nice to feel his fullness at being home.

Macbeth review – a terrifying lock-in with bloodied, boozed-up gangsters

Daniel Raggett’s audacious RSC production sets the play in a Glaswegian pub full of thugs and has a Landlady Macbeth running the show

First review of RSC’s current Macbeth… and it’s solid!!

Macbeth at the RSC review — Sam Heughan smoulders in intimate play

The ‘Outlander effect’ comes to Stratford as the Scottish actor takes on Shakespeare’s overambitious Scottish warrior. But will it live up to legend?

Revel in your rant! Sailing on the same ship of dissatisfaction & disappointment since Davina 1st appeared. I assumed she would be full of grit, grace, and integrity…instilling Brian’s innate respect & love for women. I didn’t care enough to imagine what could/should have been. So glad you did🙏🏽

This is a shopping bag I got with a purchase of leggings this week. Very very good advice! Especially these days... I don't think I know anyone with their life properly in order right now, and that is before reading the news headlines!

Guess what I saw tonight?!?
#DowntonAbbey
It was delightful… a tad slow at times but intent on giving each beloved character its due.
Like spending a few hours with treasured old friends…
Went with dear old (figuratively & literally) friends which made it even more special.
A wonderful fitting end…

Is it a brilliant adaptation of an ancient tune like OL or written originally and specifically for BLOOD? Either way still evocative… and haunting…

Words are magic

My seven-year-old asked for a dictionary this week. We went to the bookshop today to buy one. She walked home hugging it, pausing every so often to look up a word, grinning as though she had been given a book of spells, the key to wonders.
