Did anyone else think we were getting an early spring? That little burst of sunshine this week really did get my hopes up, though they were quickly dashed by the arrival of more rain, more cold… My spirits were temporarily lifted by a high-energy production of American Psycho, the musical at The Almeida, which I found to be loads of fun if also depressingly prescient. Elsewhere in the IRL arts world, Tracey Emin opened her huge retrospective at the Tate Modern this week – a monumental moment for Britain's greatest living female artist. The big news this week was, of course, the Baftas, which saw Hull lad Robert Aramayo take on heavyweights like Leonardo DiCaprio – and win! His triumph was overshadowed by serious controversy, however, when the BBC failed to censor a racist slur from Tourette's campaigner John Davidson, who says he was assured by Bafta that any involuntary expletive tics of his would be cut out of the broadcast. On telly this week: the return of Scrubs! It's a sitcom that I was obsessed with growing up and one that I was delighted to see hasn't changed at all in the 16-year hiatus. Our TV critic Nick Hilton was less enthused by ITV's The Lady – a show you won't be seeing Natalie Dormer, who plays Sarah Ferguson in it, promoting any time soon. On that note, have a lovely weekend and catch you later! |

Anna Ziegler's (Photograph 51) new play, Evening All Afternoon, is the story of two women. Jennifer (Anastasia Hille) is a brittle and unconfident NHS admin worker who found love and companionship only late in her life; Delilah (28 Years Later: The Bone Temple's Erin Kellyman, making her stage debut) is the cagey American daughter of her husband-to-be. There's much to admire in Ziegler's exploration of grief and motherhood, which finds flashes of real humour and invention, while both actors deliver first-rate, specific performances – Louis Chilton (Until 11 April; tickets here) |
