Olivier Award is still a year away but I am campaigning for Mark Gatiss for best actor
Because just... he is amazing in it and I need it to transfer to West End
And few of the behind the scenes pictures make him look absolutely terrifying

I went to Stratford-upon-Avon last week, for the opening of an exhibition, at the RSC, of cartoons based on the work of William Shakespeare. It runs until 15 September and is well worth checking out. Cartoons by Steve Bell, Dave Brown, Martin Rowson and several others. I have five pieces in the exhibition, including the one on the poster, which dates back to 2001. My favourite is the one above, of Ed Miliband and Nicola Sturgeon.

I feel like lately when I see ‘color blind casting,’ it feels like your white friend who’s like ‘I don’t see race.’ You can pat yourself on the back for that all you want, but it doesn’t really make it make sense.
I’ve seen two productions this year where someone is leaning over a dead body that looks nothing like the actor who played her husband saying, ‘Oh, it’s my husband. It’s definitely him. It could be no one else but him.’ And I’m in the audience thinking, ‘one of these guys is tall and built, and the other isn’t. How are you confused? One of these guys is black, and the other isn’t. Have you even met your husband?’ Because, at this point, their ‘color blind’ choice just makes her seem like she’s not paying attention. It’s requiring every character and audience member to disregard the physical attributes of the people actually cast.
You want to cast POC in your play, go ahead, power to you. But do it by being aware of who you cast and actually paying attention to them. Don’t do it in some bizarre fashion that requires everyone to not notice they’re there or to pretend they’re white. That’s just messed up.
