'the great darkness' Or 'and thus to infinity' By Robert Fludd Early 17th century.

Not always the best dad in the world - fair to say work came before family - my father did some interesting things. And as he said in the days before he died, he had "lived a life". Thanks to the The Guardian for running this: theguardian.com/theguardian/20…

Les Dawson was my favorite comedian when I was a tot.

Here we are this week and how nice it is to be here!

One more week. I'm here with it so shout if you are coming.

My last week in Paris. What a great pleasure is it to be working with this great company.

I am so so pleased to have caught Dickie Beau re-member me. I loved it. Beautiful and open and it moved me. And now I'm going to watch Ian Charleson in some BBC Shakespeare that my friend Simon Kane recommended.

feeling a deep sense of kinship with the 15th century flemish illustrator who drew this adorable tiny dog crawling through the page of a manuscript 🥹

Kathryn Hunter! What a completely incredible artist and person. 👏👏👏👏👏

Belgrade in Coventry was so full of welcome and warmth when I went with complicite. I think it would be a really great place to work. It's also (to my taste) very nice looking.

Michael Boyd. I just want to add to the thanks for his brilliant brilliant work as a director and artistic director and his obvious generosity of spirit. RIP.

What has come over me. I have a greta urge to watch videos of theatre show rather than films. But why? What is this little hole in my heart that only a video of a play will fill?

I loved this book by my old friend Rob. So brilliant. If you like travelling to underworlds, as I do, then this is a must read.

Friends, we have some exciting news. Our debut feature film DREAM AGENCY is now available to stream online for a very reasonable £3. Treat yourself to watching our weird little film this Christmas. theallstoreonline.co.uk/movie/dream_ag…

I seem to know everyone involved in this, particularly my old friend Robert Macfarlane from university days… So I really feel I should promote it! Plus it’s excellent. And Christmassy spooky.
