• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

And I make a note to myself: watch the Leonardo di Caprio version of Romeo and Juliet. (I love that play.)
Never ever read or watch any version of Titus Andronicus.
I watched that Titus Andronicus. If I could have related to Tarantino I might have..... No. No I wouldnt have watched it at all. The production is incredibly well done. Hopkins casting-he does such a good Hannibal Lector. I wouldnt recommend it for under age 16- only for those who watch gory horror. But seeing it as Shakespeare's attempt to break into a genre dominated by university men. It makes sense.

Thank yu for recommending Bill. Just watching it. OMG good. These guys show the strength of collaboration. Riffing off other writers and honing. A lot of Shakespeare's genius must have come from that same process.

How wonderful to see Molly McCrory again. It hurts that she was lost so young. She did Medea at National Theatre. Magnificent.

Helen McCrory but yeah. They asked her to do it, then her children begged for Daddy (Damien Lewis) to get a part too, so they gave him his little cameo.
