Antidote to our hysteria about immigration: City of London welcomes a new Migration Museum

The rather splendid Livery Hall Last night I attended a reception by the City of London to welcome the opening in three years time of Britain’s first national Migration Museum which will be located in the heart of the capital. You could not have had a better antidote to the current political antipathy to migrants whether it is from Nigel Farage’s by election and Reform council election…

Die immer clevere Zadie Smith hat ein Theaterstück geschrieben, nach der 600 Jahre alten Canterbury Tale The Tale of the Wyf of Bathe, die dafür berühmt ist, daß ihr Prolog doppelt so lang ist wie die Geschichte selbst. Die Leute erzählen eben gerne von sich und ihren 5 Ehemännern und so. So auch, verlegt in einen Pub in Nordwestlondon jetzt The Wife of Willesden. Ihre freizügigen Reden sind wahrscheinlich nicht mehr gar so schockierend wie zu Chaucers Zeiten (aber wer weiss?). Es ist jedenfalls eine grandiose Show von Clare Perkins (es ist im Grunde ein Monolog mit Statisten) und die Adaption sei recht akkurat, sagen Leute, die sowas beurteilen können.

Review: Kerry Jackson, National Theatre

Review: Kerry Jackson, National Theatre Baffingly misconceived IMHO

Despite the best efforts of all concerned, including Fay Ripley, Kerry Jackson is a thundering disappointment at the National Theatre “You are disauthenticating me” After what has largely been a brilliant year, the National Theatre is wobbling just a little at the last. April De Angelis’ Kerry Jackson lands like a lead balloon in the Dorfman, billed a biting comedy but ultimately toothless as it…
