    Sorry, but the Macbeth opposite Maggie's LadyM was Douglas Rain, not Brian Bedford. Maggie hated Douglas' performance so much she smashed in the tannoy in her dressing room. (Brian Bedford was Benedict to Maggie's Beatrice in Much Ado.) (I was a dresser at Stratford 1979-1981.)

    I would love it if Neil Gaiman would write, produce and narrate a movie of Norse Mythology. The next time he feels like writing something and has no idea what to write, that would be a wonderful project. It would put Disney and even Marvel to shame! Hey, I lose nothing by trying to plant that idea in his head, right?

    Shaun was in the year above me at school, it's great to see how well he has done with his career. It's also helpful for me to hear him admit to still having nerves, imposter syndrome and self-doubt - he is my definition of success - and he's from my home village Shafton (even from the same housing estate as me!) and town (Barnsley) so I shouldn't feel bad about getting nervous and having self doubt and imposter syndrome myself. He's a great example for young people today who want to enter the arts, yet come from a background where it's not seen as a possible career.

    Only knew Shaun from Broadchurch before this, but he seems like such a lovely person!! Especially loved hearing his take on how Shakespeare is always being put on a pedestal - I'm not a native speaker and I remember discussing Shakespeare in English class... Shaun hit the nail on the head for me. Our teacher thematized Shakespeare in such an inaccessible way that it 'scared' me away from theatre for yeaaaars. Shakespeare's works and the people that 'worshipped' it felt almost arrogant to me at times. Only now am I starting to get into his literature, but I know exactly what Shaun was talking about! 🧡

    So excited to hear Neil talk about Salome then was disappointed with his reading of her. How can a character that complains that Herod looks too much at her and that literally says she was to be chaste like the moon is obsessed with attention? She uses it to get what she wants…does not mean she wants it. It’s called being smart.

    I always felt that Salome was missunderstood and used by Herod to get rid of John the Baptist, but of cours its framed as the "evil and vain seductress destroying a good man". Symbolicly I kind of look at the beheading as a geting rid of ego and letting the wild force of life winn over restriction and dogmas. Even if it means the eventual death of the beautyfull wild dancer.

    No it’s not baby-killing-Herod! Baby-killing-Herod was Herod the Great. Salomé dances for his son Herod Antipas! Johanan preaches *against* the marriage of Herod Antipas to Herodias because she was his late brother’s wife and the marriage is “incestuous” (by the cultural standards of the time and place). That’s why he is in prison.
