Theme of moral compromise beneath American Dream in All My Sons at Wyndham’s Theatre feels timely enough & there’s fine central performance from Bryan Cranston, but staging, including having cast emoting in front of huge bleeding’ metaphor, along with almost ambient mournful music, is distracting

Eminently danceable night of glitchy, twitchy electro, spooky industrial grinds & ace visuals with Cabaret Voltaire at ICA playing career-spanning set. Staccato funk of ‘Easy Life’ got old lags frugging; turbocharged ‘Nag, Nag, Nag’ thrilling.

This is what Keir Starmer was doing on September 13, 2025 while a far-right rally was taking place in central London at which white supremacist Elon Musk called for 'dissolution of parliament' and whose other key speakers included Tommy Robinson and an MEP for the far-right German party AfD.

This was great! Who knew assiduous railway timetable studying could be such breezy fun? Agreeable hint of melancholy under there too, & enjoyed the respectful relationship between two detectives.
Now reading. A couple of my mutuals have already spoken glowingly about this, so looking forward to it. 📕 🚂 🇯🇵
