Review: Yeast Nation - The Triumph of Life, Southwark Playhouse

Review: @YeastNationUK - The Triumph of Life @swkplay

A musical that is truly unique for better or worse, Yeast Nation – The Triumph of Life is certainly an experience at Southwark Playhouse “I will partake of the muck” Those noted sages of our times Girls Aloud once told us that you can’t mistake your biology but the writers of Urinetown Mark Hollman and Greg Kotis would have us believe that there’s more to science that we previously knew,…

Ghosts at Shakespeare’s Globe casting announced including Hattie Morahan & Greg Hicks

Shakespeare’s Globe has revealed casting for its forthcoming revival of Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts.

The play will run at their Sam Wanamaker Playhouse from 10 November 2023 to 28 January 2024.

The cast will include Greg Hicks (Oklahoma!) as Engstrand, with Paul Hilton (The Glass Menagerie) as Father Manders, Hattie Morahan (A Doll’s House) as Helene Alving, Sarah Slimani (The Winter’s Tale) as Regine Engstrand, and Stuart Thompson (Spring Awakening) as Osvald Alving.

Ghosts is adapted and directed by Joe Hill-Gibbins (The Tragedy of King Richard the Second – Almeida), and this production marks the first time at Ibsen has been performed at Shakespeare’s Globe.

The creative team also includes Associate Director Lucy Wray, Costume and Set Designer Rosanna Vize, Costume Supervisor Megan Rarity, Globe Associate (Movement) Glynn Macdonald, Head of Voice Tess Dignan, and Intimacy Director Haruka Kuroda.

Director Joe Hill-Gibbins said in a statement: “It’s a privilege to be staging Ibsen at Shakespeare’s Globe for the very first time, and also to be opening the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse’s 10th Anniversary Season. I’m excited to light the candles and see what emerges from Ibsen’s exploration of forbidden desire, and of the social, biological and emotional forces that entrap us.”

Hattie Morahan returns to Ibsen after her Evening Standard Theatre Award and Critics Circle Award-winning performance as Nora in A Doll’s House at the Young Vic, in the West End and in New York.

Greg Hicks was recently starring in the smash-hit West End revival of Oklahoma! at the Young Vic and Wyndham’s Theatre.

Currently playing at Shakespeare’s Globe is Macbeth until 28 October, and As You Like It until 29 October, followed by Hansel And Gretel from 8 December 2023 to 7 January 2024.

Following Ghosts in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse will be Othello fro 16 January to 13 April 2024, and The Duchess Of Malfi from 17 February to 14 April 2024.

Ghosts is playing from 10 November 2023 to 28 January 2024 at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

The Lazarus Heist: From Hollywood to High Finance by Geoff White (fully available as a podcast)

Manga, Comics, Graphic Novels

Safe Area Goražde by Joe Sacco

The Way of the House-Husband, vol. 1 by Kousuke Oono

SAGA vol. 1-6 by Fiona Staples and Brian K Vaughan

Top of the Top:

Born a Crime was probably my favourite non ficition, and most of that probably is due to Trevor Noah's narration skills. It was very entertaining and heartfelt.

Less uplifting but just as gripping in a different way was Empire of Pain. Excellent book that went deep into the why and what and hows of Purdue Pharma. Anger inducing.

Lazarus Heist is great and available as a podcast. The book is more or less the podcast word for word.

Fictionwise: I read Trust at the start of the year and it was a bit soon to declare as favourite of the year, but it's stil made the final cut. Just very imaginative and intriguing. Just my kind of MetaFiction. Clever without being cleverclever.

Demon Copperhead I read right off the back of Empire of Pain so maybe that coloured my experience. I've not read any Dickens so loads of references no doubt flew past me, but the language was acrobatic and zingy. I loved it.

Wrapped up the year on a high with North Woods. That was so unexpected and entertaining. Again with the playful language, memorable characters and a unique approach to tying all the various stories together. One that sticks in the mind and makes the writer in me wonder how I can replicate his style (with my own personal twist of course.)

Un dimanche après-midi

Peinture Jacqueline Brochu , photographie Sarah Wheeler's

" À 16 heures, les journées oisives paraissent interminables. C'est au milieu de l'après-midi que l'on perçoit le temps gâché, que l'on s'inquiète de la soirée à venir. À cette heure, on a honte de ne servir à rien. "

🌙 Books for Arab American Heritage Month 🌙

🌙 Good morning, bookish bats, and Eid Mubarak to those who are celebrating. Eid al-Fitr ("the feast of breaking the fast") marks the end of Ramadan, an Islamic holy month of fasting and sacrifice. April is also Arab American Heritage month, which celebrates the 3.7 million Arab Americans across the country. This is an opportunity to combat Anti-Arab bigotry by challenging stereotypes and prejudices.

✨ One of the best ways to do so is to read books ABOUT Arab Americans. To help, here are a few books for Arab American Heritage Month you can read, discuss, or add to your ever-growing TBR!

[ List under the cut. ]

✨ Growing up, I didn't have books that represented my experiences as an Arab or Muslim American. My friends didn't have stories to read that could help them understand my perspective. With that in mind, I added children's books on the last slide, for the moms out there searching for diverse books--books that allow us to empathize and understand different perspectives and experiences.

🌙 A Woman Is No Man - Etaf Rum ✨ The Other Americans - Laila Lamami 🌙 You Exist Too Much - Zaina Arafat ✨ Grape Leaves - Gregory Orfalea and Sharif Elmusa 🌙 The Wrong End of the Telescope - Rabih Alameddine ✨ The Beauty of Your Face - Sahar Mustafah 🌙 Martyr - Kaveh Akbar ✨ Between Two Moons - Aisha Abdel Gawad 🌙 Tasting the Sky - Ibtisam Barakat ✨ A Game for Swallows - Zeina Abirached 🌙 Love Is An Ex-Country - Randa Jarrar ✨ The Thirty Names of Night - Zeyn Joukhadar

🌙 I Was Their American Dream - Malaka Gharib ✨ A Country Called Amreeka - Alia Malek 🌙 A Theory of Birds - Zaina Alsous ✨ Against the Loveless World - Susan Abulhawa 🌙 Arab in America - Toufic El Rassi ✨ The Skin and Its Girl - Sarah Cypher 🌙 Sex and Lies - Leïla Slimani ✨ Loom - Thérèse Soukar Chehade 🌙 Birds of Paradise - Diana Abu-Jaber ✨ Come With Me - Noami Shihab Nye 🌙 Girls of Riyadh - Rajāʼ ʻAbd Allāh Ṣāniʻ ✨ How Does It Feel to Be a Problem? - Moustafa Bayoumi

🌙 Evil Eye - Etaf Rum ✨ The Girl Who Fell to Earth - Sophia Al-Maria 🌙 What Strange Paradise - Omar El Akaad ✨ Girls That Never Die - Safia Elhillo 🌙 Bahari - Dina Macki ✨ Life Without a Recipe - Diana Abu-Jaber 🌙 Egyptian Diary - Richard Platt ✨ Man O'War - Cory McCarthy 🌙 The Cave - Amani Ballour, MD ✨ The Map of Salt and Stars - Zeyn Joukhadar 🌙 They Called Me a Lioness - Ahed Tamimi and Dena Takruri ✨ Salt Houses - Hala Alyan

🌙 Arabiyya - Reem Assil ✨ Mornings in Jenin - Susan Abulhawa 🌙 Shubeik Lubeik - Deena Mohamed ✨ The Wrong End of the Telescope - Rabih Alameddine 🌙 Conditional Citizens - Laila Lamami ✨ An Unnecessary Woman - Rabih Alameddine 🌙 It Won't Always Be Like This - Malaka Gharib ✨ Proud - Ibtihaj Muhammad 🌙 The Land in Our Bones - Layla K Feghali ✨ Everything Comes Next - Naomi Shihab Nye 🌙 The Immortals of Tehran - Ali Araghi ✨ Starstruck - Sarafina El-Badry Nance

🌙 Our Women on the Ground - Various ✨ The Jasad Heir - Sara Hashem 🌙 Tell Me How You Really Feel - Aminah Mae Safi ✨ Surge - Etel Adnan 🌙 Here to Stay - Sara Farizan ✨ We Hunt the Flame - Hafsah Faisal 🌙 A Tempest of Tea - Hafsah Faizal ✨ The Bad Muslim Discount - Syed M.

I bought/got 💕 Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger 💕 The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer 💕 The Annotated Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen & 💕 Witch Hat Atelier by Kamome Shirahama 💕 The Malediction novels by Danielle L. Jensen 💕 The Merciful Crow by Margaret Owen

I watched 🎬 Lots of old episodes of Kitchen Nightmares and Hotel Hell 🎬 Picked up where I left Miraculous Ladybug season 2 🎬 A Quiet Place (2018)  🎬 Started watching Dark (2017-), and guys, it’s so good!

And, 🌻 I finished work! Time went by pretty quickly and I actually had an okay time!  🌻 I met up with friends and did stuff! Including going to the annual food festival together before they both move away *cries* 🌻 I belatedly realised that even though I don’t have my old university’s local (bigger) library at hand any more, I can still borrow e-books from there, and they have a lot 🌻 I am pumped to start uni again and see all my classmates! 🌻 For the first time I tried my hand at painting my own book edges and it turned out...okay? Next time will be even better!
