I reviewed two curious, thought-provoking collections of late-19thC and early-20thC plays in @TheTLS
The issue features an ace review by Timothy Brook of @AndrewGrahamDix’s Vermeer, Maria Margaronis on Into the Woods and two poignant poems by Alan Jenkins. Check it out!
So happy to be included in the CQ special issue on Chaplin, where I’m writing about his eyes. Inspired by Devon monopoly, the seaside, and the brilliant @becimay this cover image came about, taken by my son.
