Othello, Trafalgar Studios

7 days ago by elsiem

To my shame, it was my curiosity to see whether Lenny Henry could act which led me to go and see this production of Othello: under usual circumstances Shakespeare rarely makes it on to my “must-see” list, which I realised anew last night is a foolish oversight on my part. I really enjoyed this: it’s ...

Lenny Henry has some pretty funny routines about this. He weedles his way into places he isn't qualifed to be in: quite literally. I'd put in the one where he takes over the dental practise, but couldn't find it on youtube. And thoroughly unrelated, but still Lenny Henry.

Cowell vs Shakespeare

35 days ago by Lucy Howard

If Shakespeare was alive today, he would be richer than Simon Cowell. Cowell was named this week as the highest paid man on primetime US TV, raking in $75m (£45m) last year, for his work on American Idol and as creator of America’s Got Talent. That’s not even including his work on UK TV- such as the ...

36 days ago by Colette Burke

So its interesting to see some research carried out by Mercury, an arm of TNS WorldP ...
