Review of Lulu in concert at Bournemouth Paviion (the photo is from Glasgow, but exactly the same costume). I was expecting her to be good, but she exceeded all expectations. Great band. Great show.

Review of Communicating Doors (linked here) by Alan Ayckbourn. This new production at the Menier Chocolate Factory in London is a “sci-fi farce” and with this cast, the Ayckbourn I’ve most enjoyed.

A new article has been added on Language Viruses: politics. I wasn’t sure whether to place it under ELT articles or Rants, but it goes under ELT as it is about language. It takes the form of a Radio 4 dialogue.

Review of Jean Anouilh’s The Rehearsal (LINKED) at Chichester’s Minerva Theatre. A truly five star production, centered on an outstanding performance by Edward Bennett. I’ll be surprised if his portrayal of Hero isn’t the best performance of 2015.

There has been a small flurry of “hits” on the ancient article here on the language of -isms and -ists, “Thatcherite“. (Linkd) I added a short 2015 paragraph at the end.
