Twitaceous Era 53: 21st century urchin

This week on my Twitter feed, that accent is apparently called "Multicultural London."

You know the accent Harry Melling does in peddling? What do you reckon actors call that on their Spotlight page?
10:46 AM - 11 Mar 2015

@Weez I'm basically asking what the Charmian Hoare-approved, non-offensive term for "chavvy accent" is.

@Weez "21st century urchin."

Twitaceous Era 41: Cicely Bumtrinket

This week on my Twitter feed, Paloma Faith is still very, very old.

The Barbican towel dispensers are so demanding. "Now dry your hands. NO NOT LIKE THAT YOU IDIOT, LIKE THIS."

@Elsiebrewster I need Jewel Staite and Morena Baccarin to complete the set of "Firefly good guys playing bad guys in other Whedon projects."

Twitaceous Era 31: "Too Apocalyptic"

This week on my Twitter feed I take a break from sitting in a dark room watching a play, to sit in a dark room watching a film.

I'm at the ballet tonight BECAUSE CULTURE. Lithe, partially-clad culture.

So... did they just decapitate a littlun, or was a pig meant have just turned up because of reasons? #intervaltweets

Finally off to see Pride. You've probably all built it up too much so if I hate it I'll blame you.

Dick Twittington 46: Moderately funny

This week on my Twitter feed, my internal calendar is all confused at going to Shakespeare's Globe in the winter.

Ray Cooney's still working? RAY COONEY'S STILL ALIVE?

"81-year-old directs farce he wrote decades ago" suggests just the kind of radical theatre I expect from the Menier http://shar.es/UYGjd

There is NO earthly reason I should have Madonna's "Dear Jessie" stuck in my head. And yet...

Dick Twittington 45: "nipples showing through shirt"

This week on my Twitter feed, it's mainly all about the topless men. And then apparently I won an award! The two things may be related.

"So when did you get your new computer?" "Er, I think about a month ago... oh wait, it was this morning." I'm getting ALL the mentals today.

"I haven't been on a bus in 10 years, ha ha!" Gosh, you must be terribly middle class. Well done you.

Dick Twittington 44: A potted history of Caucasian rap

This week on my Twitter feed is another fairly quiet one. I'd say "quality over quantity" but I think the most cursory of glances will confirm that it's not quality.

"He's NEVER played gay before!" Except in Annually Retentive. And Ashes To Ashes. http://www.standard.co.uk/goingout/theatre/glad-to-play-gay-russell-tovey-interview-9045878.html

"Vietnamese Street Food: 3 baguettes for £1!" Ah, those famous Vietnamese baguettes.

Dick Twittington 41: Fops on the tube

This week on my Twitter feed, bits of a theatre fall down, and programming at another one stops making sense.

Writing my American Psycho review; meanwhile the team at the next bank of desks is getting VERY excited about their new business cards.

@TootingGareth I wanted to do a #themorethingschange hashtag but the character limit was against me.

Dick Twittington 36: A crumbling country estate

This week on my Twitter feed, I get grumpy at work, inquisitive in a bookshop, and comically inspired (NB your mileage may vary) by Cake.

Tovey as a footballer? Andrew Scott as a rock star? The return of sensible start times? OK Royal Court, I'm listening.

Oh, the Tovey-is-a-footballer play also has Nico Mirallegro in it. I know for a fact nobody who follows me will care about that.

Dick Twittington 34: :) :) :) :( :( :(

This week on my Twitter feed, in case there isn't enough of a theatre preoccupation already, the National theatre's 50th birthday celebrations take over Saturday night TV. Well, they do for sensible people. I suppose X Factor and Strictly might have still gone on, but broadcasting to nobody because everyone was glued to Dame Judi on BBC2. Right? Right?

Gemma Arterton as the Duchess of Malfi at the Wanamaker? Interesting...
11:16 AM - 30 Oct 13

I must admit, I did wonder if opening a theatre called the Wanamaker with a show with a female lead was a clue, but I like this casting.
11:24 AM - 30 Oct 13

So... no new Cheek By Jowl show next year? And two revivals but Russian Tempest isn't one of them? *sadface*

Dick Twittington 7: What's in my bra?

This week on my Twitter feed I finally get some temporary work, and can't go two minutes without spotting someone from off the telly.

First day temping after a v long break will be followed by 3.5 hours of Shakespeare. Let's see how that goes shall we?
12:27 PM - 24 Apr 13

Sleb Spot: Jodie Whitaker on the South Bank. Not crying, but I still recognised her.

Sleb Spot: Joe Dempsie, also South Bank.
