recording has resumed today!
Charles is well on his way to being done and Dr. Bradman is complete! (Probably for the best with the faces that Simon is pulling…)

Last night's viewing: Mad About The Boy: The Noel Coward Story. Fascinating documentary, featuring a wealth of valuable archive material. At the Elite cinema, Ashbourne.

Today we watched Bunny Lake Is Missing. It was friggin’ awesome. Probably the best (new to us) film we’ve seen this year. Olivier acts everyone into a cocked hat, and Coward was obviously having great fun with his part. Do yourself a favour and check it out if you can.

David Lean’s celebrated screen love story Brief Encounter (1945). Two people meet at a railway station and fall in love but they're both already married to other people. In the 1940s an insurmountable obstacle. Still packs an emotional punch.

We had a brilliant recording session this afternoon on Blithe Spirit!

Helen Greenaway, our Madame Arcati, was so in character I feared she might conjure something up for real!!

January 7, 1935: Alfred Lunt & Lynne Fontanne brought Noel Coward's new play "Point Valaine" to the Chestnut St. Opera House

At the high point in the action, Lunt's character spat in Fontanne's face and dragged her around the stage, then slit his writs and jumped off a balcony into a sea of sharks. Philly audiences and critics loved it, though it died in New York.
