Our next #theatre is a #MarkGatiss double-header. First, his direction of The Unfriend performed by Reece Shearsmith, Amanda Abbington and the comedy tour de force of Frances Barber ...

... followed by Mark himself in The Motive and The Cue at The National (a backstage 'rehearsal' story about Richard Burton and John Gielgud) which I am HUGELY looking forward to.

But enough! I have a Dal Makhani to prepare and my urid beans have been soaking a fair while now. #WestEnd #London

Went to see #AChristmasCarol today, the #MarkGatiss adaptation, shown at the cinema. It was really good. An adaptation, so not a literal reading out of the book, but well told and very well acted. Looked brilliant, too, the design was superb. Did miss the Muppets, mind.

A wonderful read about a very talented and adorable man.

CATCHING BULLETS' very own bullet-catching ally Mr. Mark Gatiss is to play John Gielgud opposite Johnny Flynn (Ian Fleming, OPERATION MINCEMEAT) for Sam Mendes (SPECTRE, SKYFALL) in a brilliant new production written by [potential future Bond writer] Jack Thorne, THE MOTIVE AND THE CUE.
