Not a lot stranger than being human…Simon Usher’s UK premier of The Name, by Nobel prize winner Jon Fosse, nails that unfailingly. What seems like a small town Norwegian family soap opera @WhiteBearTheatr is a lyrical expression of human longing, bottled by a mesmerising cast.

Has @ManUtd ‘s Jim Ratcliffe not noticed his football team has been colonised by migrants? In his case for the worse.

@BBCRadio3 how about a human voice that sounds like an instrument? you can almost hear the rosin vibrating on the strings of his voice… Benjamin Clementine singing Then I heard a bachelors cry. Patrick Northwest London

Love this picture of Giorgio Armani - tie tucked into his trousers!

@BBCRadio3 Please help Petroch before it’s too late… a good white back you played a crazy piece with two pianists on a broken piano called The Colour of Her Hair, I think. I have never been able to find it again! What was it!?

How is this an appropriate name for a street, Edinburgh?

Anne Reid, Maureen Lipman and Tom Conti reading Peter Shaffer's comedy about trouble in a stately home, written for Maggie Smith. Sounds fun and raising money for (or against?) Alzheimers. What's not to like!? Sunday 5.30 Ambassadors Theatre Tickets: https://t.co/WnnHrwTxSU

@BBCRadio3 play lister cuckoo clock minimalism must mean music from the Third Man on a zither - that being the greatest invention since said cuckoo clock as Orson Welles might not have had it. From sunny NW London…

An Evertonian in his marrow and DNA he had the common touch of a jolly scouser and signed off his messages with little blue hearts

[Patrick Marmion @patrickmarmion]

Some worried this might constitute a bribe, so easily influenced is this profession. But really it was the man’s bonhomie and largesse in the form of liquids and solids...

[Patrick Marmion @patrickmarmion]

Where other producers avoid critics, he would seek us out, sit next to us and give us a ribbing. He also prided himself on being the first producer to offer critics wine and nibbles on press nights…

[Patrick Marmion @patrickmarmion]

RIP Bill Kenwright as a producer he was a theatrical colossus who sometimes called himself Mr Shaftesbury Avenue. He was as much a fixture in the West End as Nelson’s Column. His big warm laugh and mischievous grin were used to good effect...

Jeeves and Wooster ⁦@WiltsCreative⁩ is spiffing stuff… not sure about the others https://t.co/yU4owi4UMD

[Patrick Marmion @patrickmarmion]

RIP Michael Boyd: one of @RSC best leaders and a proper mensch. He mentored many and had a tough bullish spirit to go with tremendous intelligence, broad knowledge and experience. A real loss to theatre.

Richly deserved review for a beautiful and thoughtful play.

[Patrick Marmion @patrickmarmion]

Possession, a rare play about hope and horror in the Congo now and in the Victorian era, opened last night @arcolatheatre poignantly written by @hailssasha, and beautifully directed and designed by @OscarPearce10 and @sarahbeaton7 https://t.co/u5k2b3kkJw
