Who is Eric Fury?

Had an AMAZING dream in the last part of the night. I was involved in a charity event where Stereolab and The Pet Shop Boys had to write and record a single in one day and I was there to help with lyrics and the song we came up with was an absolute floor-filler called 'Please Don't Go to Belgium'.

Brilliant couple of days of teaching,. Yesterday my Musical Theatre students turned one of my radio plays into a six-song musical (in four hours) and made me cry. Today my amazing Playwriting students talked about dramatic structure in utterly brilliant & thrilling ways. @royalholloway.bsky.social

Birthday surprise for the Andrew Formerly Known as Prince

Wow.

The Trump administration is hitting cartoon super-villain levels of evil.

Great review of MAN AND BOY @nationaltheatre.org.uk that expresses very much my view of this revelatory production that frees Rattigan from scenographic conservatism. @mrlukowski.bsky.social www.timeout.com/london/theat...

This is a great story, and very odd. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'd watch a muppet show movie where the muppets infiltrate an academic conference.

All these years we sang “rain rain go away, come again another day” never suspecting that today would be that other day

I don’t want to get all “Italians furious about food” but I’d suggest that these people look up the terms “traditional” and “carbonara”.

...they told her no, didn't they

I hope it's ruff like a ninja, stinging like a bee.

Brexiteers are like Stalinists in the eighties, insisting that True Communism hasn’t been tried.

Oh no! One of the great comic actresses - she had the rare talent to be both hilarious and completely truthful. She had amazing range too. And always seemed like someone who’d be rnormius fun to spend time with. RIP.

Delighted to see this handsome edition of Terence Rattigan's MAN AND BOY (in a tie-in with the National Theatre production) out in the wild, with a hefty introduction by me looking at the fascinating and painful development process of the play.

Everyone! My play 7 Ghosts is starting RIGHT NOW on Radio 4 and, if I do say myself, it is a work of sublime genius that will change your life for the better!

Matt Goodwin is an academic much in the same way that I am a teenager; i.e. I was, but I really am very much not any more and it would be laughably absurd to call myself one now.

The Founding Fathers thought of everything, didn't they?

Congratulations to Reform UK for attracting one of the most despised British politicians of the twenty-first century.

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.” Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

The irony is that the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution was introduced to enable the people to resist state terror by a tyrannical federal force. But now there is state terror by a tyrannical federal force, and the gun nuts are cheering them on.

Hey Siri, what are the three dumbest/borderline-evil opinions in the world?

What a headline, an amazing summary

Let joy be unconfined.

oh dear god I hope he’s ok or whatever

Trump is evidently mad. There is no way a sane person would ever think this was remotely appropriate to sent to the Norwegian Prime Minister. #25thamendmentnow

María Corina Machado is, alas, a bit of a dick.

Always good to hear another of Robert Jenrick's barnstorming speeches.

Why is the goverment persisting in adopting the far-right accusation about 'open borders'? Do they think right-wing voters will flock to them? If so, do they have an estimate as to when? Because it ain't happening yet.

Am enjoying the juxtaposition of the Guardian's coverage of Nigel Farage bringing Robert Jenrick into his party and an advert for 'Adopt a Donkey.

The bad news is people around the world will be able to make naked & pornographic images of you and your children but the good news is you won't realise and won't be able to do anything about it.

Happy 128th birthday to the most famous and consequential piece of journalism ever published.

What could possibly go wrong?

So have I got this right? Elon Musk thinks he’s solved the legal jeopardy by turning Grok into a SUBSCRIPTION child porn generator?

EXTREMELY OBSCURE JOKE KLAXON. If Tintin ever loses Snowy, in the original French, would he shout 'Où est le neige d'Tintin'? (This is the sort of joke that even @adamroberts.bsky.social would think twice about posting)

If you love theatre, please book for AN IDEAL HUSBAND at the White Bear Theatre. It's a small-scale pub theatre show, but it might be the most thrilling and fascinating and inspiring pieces of theatre I've seen for years. www.whitebeartheatre.co.uk/whatson/an-i...
