#Bliss

The theme for #HMD2026 is #BridgingGenerations — a reminder that remembrance is now our responsibility. Today I remember my grandfather, Werner Scholem (1895–1940), a former German Reichstag member, executed in Buchenwald for standing up to Nazi oppression.

Review of THE SHITHEADS by Jack Nicholls Royal Court. ★★★★ 'a strange, macabre, properly funny piece of theatre about the human condition... that takes big swings, humorous & horrific, to remind us that we all do terrible things to survive.' timeout.com/london/theatre…
