Fleshlettes: Grotesque sculptures by Jonathan Payne
Momoko Hirata as Aurora, Daria Stanciulescu as the Queen, and Jonathan Payne as the King, in The Sleeping Beauty (Birmingham Royal Ballet, 2018)

This version is let down by flimsy characterisations that reduce charming eccentricities to screwball antics. A notable exception is Samara Downs’ take on The Lady (Elgar’s wife), full-bodied and stirringly rendered. Downs looked every inch the Ashtonian ballerina here, thanks in large part to her expressive face and willowy arms sheathed in gossamer.

Title: Citizen Orlov | Author: Jonathan Payne | Publisher: CamCat Books (2023)
"During his time in the MANIACs, Payne had used a grapefruit as a silencer, stalled a car with a tube sock and killed a man with a stapler, but he had never used salami for anything except sandwiches."
