@Ben_Broadribb @LearsShadowFilm @ShaxBull @brianelerding @DrPeteKirwan But. Do not watch on a plane as you will end up ugly crying on a stranger’s shoulder. The energy change when Katie Peabody enters is electric.

Incredibly pleased to see my review of @LearsShadowFilm in @ShaxBull 38.4, a reflective piece on @brianelerding's intimate and affecting 'adaptation-adjacent' of King Lear. Many thanks to @DrPeteKirwan for the opportunity to review and for his generous editorial support!

I'm thrilled those who joined our #LearsShadow watch party got so much from the film too. It's a film which I love more each time I watch it, and the warmth and enthusiasm from the #BritGrad2020 attendees towards Lear's Shadow was a joy to share in. Thank you all!

Still on such a high from this wonderful event last night. I will never forget the generosity of @brianelerding, @FredCross, @DavidBlue, Katie Peabody, and Ryan Moore during the #LearsShadow watch party and Q&A session. A personal highlight of #BritGrad2020 - thank you all!
