Finally getting around to watching Culloden. It’s insanely brilliant. The hand held reportage style is so wonderful. From 1964! Why aren’t history dramas and documentaries done like this more often? Or ever? It’s superb.

Proud to announce this is on in Stratford next spring. The brilliant Mark Gatiss in the title role, and the brilliant Sean Linnen directing. Brecht’s savage satire about how democracy can be eaten alive is unfortunately very timely.
