The other day I showed @nadinemariesimard my favourite music venue in the whole world, Royal Albert Hall. Such a beautiful, special place.
Month: August 2013
An original Banksy that I came across yesterday at a private gallery in Mayfair, London. Pretty cool
Edinburgh Fringe Festival keynote speech
Later this month, I am checking out the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the largest theatre festival in the world and something I’ve longed to discover for many, many years. A friend of mine – a successful theatre producer and actor – posted a link to this year’s keynote speech. It is an inspiring commentary on our cultural landscape in these tough economic times.
“Because the audience here isn’t going to pay money to see you seeking a consensus, avoiding conflict, making do with the way things are right now, being nice and obedient, ticking the boxes that someone else has defined for you. The audience are paying money to see you be new, a freak, challenging, disruptive, naughty, angry, irresponsibly playful – whatever form telling the truth takes in your act. But always telling the truth.”
