Edward II – RSC 2025, review

09/03/2025 by Peter Viney

Review of Christopher Marlowe’s ‘Edward II’ at the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Swan Theatre (follow link). This production is about a gay king, preferring his favourite, Gaveston, against all his barons. RSC artistic director Daniel Evans excels in the lead role. it’s the basic Marlow play I’m unsure about.

For teachers who remember …

03/03/2025 by Peter Viney

For years people mention the same Streamline English units … 
We have often thought of redoing them, using retro pictures or AI. We have done one.

FOLLOW THIS LINK TO: STREAMLINE REVISITED …

From there you will find information, and a link to the reimagined unit, in the version we finished and planned in 2005 which was never published. This one was variously called I Want You, Fiona or I Love You, Fiona or Love Isn’t Everything in different editions.

Suits … a rant

01/03/2025 by Peter Viney

Yesterday’s shameful events inspired an article on suits and ties. See link here. Have a look, it’s something of a photo essay on what’s ‘respectful’ and what’s not too.

Much Ado About Nothing – Jamie Lloyd Company, review

28/02/2025 by Peter Viney

The other current Shakespeare: Review added of the Jamie Lloyd Company in MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (follow link to the review). It stars Tom Hiddleston as Benedick and Hayley Atwell as Beatrice, literally both a “Marvel” to behold. It’s high energy, reduced cast in an Ibiza dance setting. It has more five star reviews than is normal. Rightly so, a joyous event … IF you can get tickets. Hopefully they’ll film it.

Indulge me if you are a musician, author or illustrator. Go to this page, THE POTATO ALBUM (CLICK HERE) where you will find three songs. Please listen to them, do not comment but click on the link to read the explanation. Then please add comments on that page. Trust me. This isn’t a scam. I think it important that all creative artists listen.

Unicorn – review

21/02/2025 by Peter Viney

Review of Mike Bartlett’s new play, UNICORN at the Garrick Theatre in London (follow this link to review). It’s all about the famous cast, Nicola Walker, Stephen Mangan and Erin Doherty. Just three, and the play is about a threesome. A married couple invite a younger woman to be part of three person unit. Given that, there’s lots of talking, no disrobing.
