👑🎭Richard III: I drift slightly from the one-play-one-idea tagline to focus on one character: Queen Margaret. How does she loosen the audience from Richard's grasp - and does it make any difference? https://t.co/LSRzIexnal #Shakespeare#SheldrakeOnShakespeare
Despite my voracious appetite for quirks of history, I had no idea about this lovely bit of theatrical tradition: Bristol Old Vic theatre token from 1766 sold for £9k https://t.co/dGn2hxDSf1
The audio file means your child gets personal feedback but they can work on it at a time that suits them! I've advised on all sorts of applications, from Fashion to Finance to Forensics at everywhere from Canterbury to Cambridge to Cardiff. Full CV here: https://t.co/OriiTRzxJq
“I breed prize-winning clams” was the most extraordinary claim I read in the nearly 1000 Personal Statements that I checked and sent to UCAS in my four years as Head of UCAS at Radley College.
If you want a second opinion on your child’s PS:
- Send the draft as the text of an email to [email protected]
- Include the course(s) being applied to
- And the universities being aimed at
For a flat fee of £50 I will send back an audio file giving detailed feedback.
Hugely enjoyable afternoon @mincemeatlive @FortuneTheatre1. Witty, joyful, thoughtful. Five performers - felt like twenty. @JakMalonee the stand-out for me.
#IClaudius side-note: I get the Blackadder 2 titles satire now! Yes, I suppose it is a melodramatic/over-literal opening sequence. Iconic all the same.
A certain critic—for such men, I regret to say, do exist—made the nasty remark about my last novel that it contained 'all the old Wodehouse characters under different names.' He has probably now been eaten by bears, like the children who made mock of the prophet Elisha: but if he still survives he will not be able to make a similar charge against Summer Lightning. With my superior intelligence, I have outgeneralled this man by putting in all the old Wodehouse characters under the same names. Pretty silly it will make him feel, I rather fancy.
Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review for #sheldrakeonshakespearelive@ParadiseGreenUK#edfringe 'at the same time an English lesson and hilariously funny' 'Sheldrake was brilliant' 'perfectly crafted' 'perfect mix of fact and comedy' 'helped greatly by his own charm' https://t.co/xFqeLErRLp
Will be heading to @edbookfest on the 24 & 25 August! My workshop on the 25th is SOLD OUT but you can still come join me for a discussion about the wonderful music & women in Quartet on the 24th! #Edbookfest https://t.co/USYfwX8Bv3
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Student: ‘delightful hybrid of a stand-up show and a lecture.’ ‘unafraid to poke fun at Shakespeare.’ ‘I was engrossed’ ‘a great atmosphere. … definitely worth a visit’. Tickets at end of link: https://t.co/CR1oe2sDma @ParadiseGreenUK#sheldrakeonshakespearelive
I won’t name the (aesthetically very impressive) show, but in terms of the thread/arc/narrative, I have to give a review that is surely a cliche of the Fringe: they lost me at the alpaca… #edfringe
