Another #nowwatching post from me!
Last weekend, my family and I saw Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap at St Martin’s Theatre.

Emmanuel here!
Last month, my brother and I saw a screening of Marlon Rigg’s Ethnic Notions, a powerful doc about Jim Crow iconography and its influence on popular culture.
It was paired with Isaac Julien's rhapsodic celebration of Queer desire, Looking for Langston.
