This, for me, is the single video that best captures the unthinkable violence and horror of it all

Over New York Harbor, 2,977 drones lit up the sky in the shape of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers — one drone for each victim of the September 11 attacks.
Never forget. 🇺🇸

Flesh Impact’ starring Sepideh Moafi alongside Dakota Johnson, Ellen Burstyn, and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal made me well up as a director just reading the premise. This is Beckett with whipped cream. Brilliant cast and idea. Can not wait.

Yuri Hulchuk, The 23-year-old Ukrainian Marine was captured defending Mariupol on April 12, 2022. In captivity, he was brutally tortured.
When he finally returned home in September 2024, Yuri could barely speak. He struggled to eat and appeared unable to recognize his own mother. She had spent more than two years desperately searching for him.
His speech gradually returned. He began communicating again and underwent rehabilitation, rebuilding a life that Russian captivity had tried to destroy.
Now, Yuri is communicating normally; he stated that he wants to study again and focus on learning foreign languages.
Yuri Hulchuk is a reminder that captivity can break a body and scar a mind, but it cannot erase the human will to survive and continue to go forward!
You can't defeat these people! 🫡🇺🇦❤️
Absolutely Respect🫡

Anybody interested in the art of acting through song needs to see what Ruthie Henshall and Joy Woods are doing in the 2nd act of @kitkatclubLDN with, respectively, ‘What Would You Do’ and ‘Cabaret’. Both astounding. Five years into its run, this show is in SENSATIONAL shape.
Technicals approach on our epic Aladdin. Happy director. #pantomime #kingstheatre #panto #pantomime2025

A truly spellbinding supporting cast animate and inhabit the village with extraordinary feeling, with superb turns from a radiant voiced @JfeenaB & @michaelmatus (who I saw play the baker in @strassen’s even more brilliant production of the show at @TheUnionTheatre in 2011).

Thank you SO much @RichMullsItOver and @strassen was a total genius! How he did it in such a small amount of time I’ll never know. I shall be forever grateful for his incredible work 👏👍🥇🏆❤️xxx
Strassen’s inspired direction is oil smooth when it needs to be then excitingly textured at times, showcasing this remarkable writer and actress and melding seamlessly with Lucie Pankhurst’s rather fabulous (and tough!) choreography. It’s just a beautiful show' - Alun Hood

I first fell in love with @Andree_Bernard when I saw her (still unsurpassed) Sheila in the Old Vic HAIR & it happened all over again @arcolatheatre last night in her extraordinary, hilarious, heartcatching, defiant, sexy AF self-penned solo show What (Is) A Woman. Stunning work.
