Recently (yesterday) my friends and I decided we’d go to
Wimbledon: soak in the English atmosphere, eat strawberries, drink pimms,
sunbath and perhaps watch a bit of tennis. So we dutifully got up at half 5 to
begin our journey to ‘The Queue’, and yes it is signposted ‘The Queue’.

The Audience
Get in quick if you want to see this –which you most definitely
should –your last chance is the NTLive cinema screening on the 13th
July. Tickets for NTLive normally sell out pretty quickly when productions have
had as good reviews as this –it also helps that Dame Helen Mirren is playing
the Queen.

Books, Books, Books
Recently I somehow managed to get work experience at
HarperCollins. Work experience at a publishers! A book publishers! A massive
book publishers I’ve actually heard of! Where they publish books! Did I mention
that I love books?

"To be or not to be"
Now to explain my respect for Rory Kinnear as an actor we
have to go back to Hamlet. It seems to be where all aspiring actors eventually
end up if they didn't begin there. But who can blame them for musing over “to be or not to be”.
Othello -at the National Theatre, London's Southbank.
Three years ago I saw Rory Kinnear as Hamlet. It was the
start of a beautiful, if one-sided, relationship. So when I heard he was
playing Iago in Othello I quickly
became incomprehensible with excitement. Assuming from my reaction that Rory
Kinnear must be a Shakespearian Ryan Gosling my friends were more confused by his
receding hairline than the old fashioned language, but Kinnear does not
disappoint.
