This looks fab! Great plays & actors. I was a bit surprised to see Stanley Holloway appearing in a new production, bearing in mind he died in 1982. But it turns out it's actually Stanley Townsend who's always excellent @markravenhill.bsky.social @radiotimes.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...
International Playwrights Workshop with Mark Ravenhill Call for Participants: “Fake It, Baby, Fake It! Until Death Tears Us Apart” qendra.org/call-for-par... @markravenhill.bsky.social
Today I’ve been leading an acting workshop in London with teenagers on Romeo and Juliet. When the actors are the same age as the characters it’s very upsetting. Although the young actors described it as ‘fun’! So just me upset then.
Brilliance from Naomi Aldermann Could a couch-to-5k for books get you back into reading?
Aquesta entrevista de l'Elisabeth Massana al Mark Ravenhill és estupenda. Imaginar-me-la explicant-li qui són La Maña i la Marta Bernal em fa moltíssima gràcia. @intersticis.bsky.social @markravenhill.bsky.social @nuvolpuntcom.bsky.social www.nuvol.com/teatre-i-dan...

Nice piece about the show on which i was a writer www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
Pompeii: Out of Time With Tom Hiddleston – the tale of ordinary Romans’ hopeless heroism is tearjerking television
The Avengers star teams up with real-life scholars for a look at the eruption of Vesuvius. At points it’s elegiac and moving, at others it’s majestic and brutal

I was interviewed today by someone who told me she had a Caryl Churchill tattoo. Too polite to ask to see it. Now I’ll always be wondering what it is ..
I’m in Barcelona all week leading a writers group at Sala Beckett with a public discussion Thursday 4pm

Really enjoyed tonight’s screening of The Invite - sharp and stylish sex comedy
There is a cure for buffetphobia, but first you’ve got to want to help yourself.

Borrowed a book today from the London Library and when it was stamped I saw that the last person to borrow it was 46 years ago! Late medieval French ‘fool’ plays must be kinda niche I guess …
I’ll be honest I went for the air con in the cinema but I really enjoyed Backrooms. Stylish with Charlie Kaufman meets Blair Witch vibes. And brilliant Chewitel Ejifor

Saw the film Savage House today: a little bit Barry Lyndon, a little bit The Favourite, a little bit The Draftmans Contract. Not quite those films equal but Clare Foy and Jack Farthing are compelling
‘And in the second act, I shall wear a gown in a lovely shade of crushed understudy’. (I slightly paraphrase). From the Ivor Novello play Comedienne, currently on BBC Sounds
I enjoyed this. Dame Sibyl in a forgotten Ivor Novello play on BBC sounds. Have a listen
Been asked to rethink an idea for a European project because it is too much like a play and could I reconsider it as an abstract poetic essay drama ? Never had that note in the UK ! And yes of course I will !
Farewell dear Swetlana. I got to know her a little in my time at the Berliner Ensemble and she came round to our flat in Kreuzberg. Great actor, great human
