Goodness me, the news are coming thick and fast. For someone who doesn’t like chat shows, Richard is definitely the go-to man for all the Vanya promo. Once again! I mean, it feels kind of familiar in that Richard has had quite a bit of promo put on his shoulders before, for other projects. And…
Today I was working on updating the RAnet news section with the Times magazine interview and other mentions, when yet another UV review came in. Whatsonstage reviews the filmed play that doesn’t just talk about the play as such but the way it was filmed. There are some interesting additional extras there that I would love…
Back to the Saturday slot. Have you seen the new interview with RA in today’s Times? [Note: Article behind pay wall. Look in the round-up below for a short-cut 😉] Richard is really trying to get his image as a grump across… “I’m quite a socially distant person by nature. When I walk past a…
Let’s start the week with the round-up. I took most of last week off my own blog and focussed on RAnet instead. There are a few updates there that took some time and work. You can read about them if you go into the News section of the site and scroll to the entry on…
This week I slightly dropped the ball. After kicking off the discussion about the fundraiser last week, I tried to keep up with the comments but still haven’t replied to each and every one of them. An ongoing project. I also need to reply to a number of e-mails that have reached me – they…
Richard really has been throwing himself into campaigning for theatre lately. Well, with Covid wreaking havoc in an industry that relies on live events that are held in indoor spaces where social distancing is simply impossible, campaigning on behalf of the performing arts is badly needed and also very much welcome by those who enjoy…
RA Bulgaria and Hariclea unearthed a new interview with Richard, published in free newspaper Metro in the UK today. Let’s unpick this a little bit. Early childhood reading Enid Blyton as one of Richard’s childhood authors. I had to smile at that a little, because it coincides with my own childhood reading. I loved those…
There we have it. Dublin is back in lockdown, more or less. Despite warnings and requests for cooperation, the rising Covid infection numbers did not motivate people to take more care and keep their distance. From yesterday, Dublin has been placed under stricter restrictions than the rest of the country. We are back to working…
Ok, leaving the marketing aside, this is pretty pretty. @panmacmillan #KingsbridgeFestival Thank you for my copy Ken, I can’t wait to read it. Happy Publication Day. pic.twitter.com/ar11W6fE2m — Richard Armitage (@RCArmitage) September 15, 2020 Ya, I needed that double here. a) Smile. b) I really do like the Astrovian waves. I mean, this has gone…
In a complete switch-up of the usual MO, here is a Monday round-up… I somehow got sidetracked over the weekend, doing other things. The weather turned beautiful again over here – which is quite typical for Ireland. May and September are always the best (read: driest) months on our little island. So I spent some…
