Delighted to see that #TheHistoryBoys is coming back… but here we go again with these ridiculous seat prices. 🎭 I recommend detention for whoever came up with them! 🤷🏻♂️ #AlanBennett
I’ll be here this evening and very much looking forward to leaning into some glorious classical music. 🎶☺️ #SouthbankCentre

West Side Story news💃
The iconic Broadway musical returns in this bold new production from 5 Nov 2027 to 12 Feb 2028, playing on the Olivier stage at the National Theatre in London.

More info: nationaltheatre.org.uk/produ…
ALT Artwork for the National Theatre's major revival of West Side Story coming to London from 11 November 2027, with tickets on sale from midday on 12 November 2026. White block text reads "WEST SIDE STORY" overlaid sparsely but evenly on an image of people interacting with scaffolding. They appear to be performing parkour with some hanging, others swinging, and some holding themselves up above the bars. They are in silhouette as orange light floods the large space.

Details for the upcoming revival of 'West Side Story' at @NationalTheatre have been announced.
It will play at the Olivier Theatre from 5th November 2027 - 12th February 2028, with tickets on sale from midday 12th November.
It will be co-directed by Marianne Elliott and Miranda Cromwell, using Jerome Robbins' original choreography.
Wow! 😮 I don’t doubt that it will be epic in scale, hugely enjoyable, and very popular when booking opens… but I’m quite shocked that the top-price tickets for ‘West Side Story’ at @NationalTheatre will be £146.
A very pleasant way to start my Tuesday… a tidy little win on the PBs. Always gets my heart racing a bit when I log on to the app to see if I’ve been lucky. 🥳
A local artist has painted some walls near one of my overground stations. Quite colourful and abstract, and done with the best of intentions… but I give it a day or two before some idiots - with less honourable intentions - start daubing their monikers on them. 😔
Wow… seriously, this new book will become a bible for #standup comedians, both, new and experienced. Very detailed, a forensic analysis of the mechanics of jokes and humour. Grab a signed copy while you can and before they end up on eBay for hundreds of pounds. 😂/🤔 #JimmyCarr
Oh… I don’t know. Is it a radio? A device for stopping dogs from barking? A pocket radio? A nail trimmer? Ahh… it’s just clickbait. How silly of me. 🙄
Let’s see if the Guardian’s review of the new book by Dame #DameJudi is as celebratory and complimentary as I hope that it will be. Looking forward to getting stuck into this lovely book. 🤩📚
Treated myself to a gorgeous #PaulSmith notebook this afternoon. Lovely textured cover, featuring his signature multicoloured stripes, bookmark, and gilt-edged pages. 🥰
An impulse buy from @Foyles this afternoon… it is signed (which is a bonus), but I vaguely remember reading good things about it. Another novel for my groaning bookshelves! 📚😲📚#FrancisSpufford #Nonesuch
