I know my childhood fav book series (set in Drury Lane) has its reconstruction being a whole plot point and I now really want to reread that bit to see if they make any foreshadow-y jokes about it lasting forever, ushering a new era etc, given it burnt down 15 years after it was built

Review: Jack Absolute Flies Again, National Theatre

Review: Jack Absolute Flies Again, @nationaltheatre Dance routines! Ukuleles! Banter about bunting! And so much more, I absolutely adored this.

Richard Bean and Oliver Chris’ reinvention of The Rivals in Jack Absolute Flies Again is a comic masterpiece at the National Theatre “I do love a man in uniform” Having had my funny-bone resolutely untickled by One Man, Two Guvnors, I was a little trepidatious to approach Richard Bean’s newest comedy for the National Theatre, co-written with Oliver Chris. But I needn’t have worried as their riff…

On This Day

17 January 1775

The Rivals; or, a Trip to Bath by Richard Brinsley Sheridan was first performed at the Covent Garden Theatre in London.

The Rivals was a Comedy of Manners, the type common in the late 18th century England, and Sheridan's first play. It was not well received by its audience when it premiered, and was quickly withdrawn and rewritten. It was reopened on 28 January that year, to critical acclaim. It would later be performed in the American colonies and was allegedly well liked by George Washington.

The play featured a character named Mrs. Malaprop, for which the term "malapropism" is named.

The Literary-Theatrical Sheridans, and the Line That Leads to Le Fanu

I re-read the Dover edition above recently in preparation for the Halloween season, but it emerges that the post in question will treat not only of its author but his esteemed ancestor. I had no idea that Gothic horror author Sheridan Le Fanu and waggish playwright and politician Richard Brinsley Sheridan were related until recently, but indeed they are. October 30 is the elder Sheridan’s…

Anyway I can't believe I have to tell yous this again but if you support the n/orthern s/tar or any of its contributors you're literally advocating for the mass murder of women and children just like we've been seeing happening in france and I don't fucking want anything to do with you. They've said repeatedly and explicitly that they actually want to chop off the heads of every single person in this country and it's disgusting that they're still being platformed. Proof under the cut

It's about the refusal to try to kill them outright it's about the tension of being so close to them when you pull the trigger it's about putting your life in their hands even though you hate them and are trying to kill them by allowing them a bullet as well. do you understand

Hey everybody if you enjoyed watching me liveblog my slog through Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire I wrote down some of my thoughts and you can read them a week in advance for the low low price of one American dollar.

***

Edward Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire from the Age of the Antonines is, in no uncertain terms, the longest book I have ever read. It encompasses the 1st through 16th centuries of the common era, totalling roughly 1.8 million words and requiring approximately six days of my one human life to listen to the entire book on tape. To use one ignoble comparison, it’s more than twice the length of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. This terrible fault is not helped by the fact that Gibbon was a most economical writer; every page is packed with detail and every one of the 1.8 million words seems to be in the right place.

Walter Bagehot relates in an anecdote that the playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Gibbon’s fellow member of Parliament, once in a session of Parliament compared the British Empire’s deplorable treatment of the Indian subcontinent to the lupine behavior of sundry Roman emperors one might read about in “the luminous pages of Gibbon”; Gibbon, a man of many contradictions, was a staunch supporter of Indian independence, and was moved by Sheridan’s compliment, though Sheridan would later clarify that he’d misspoken, having meant to say voluminous.

Between its size and its scope, any attempt to reflect upon the luminous pages is necessarily a voluminous undertaking, and a comprehensive analysis is utterly out of the question; one might as well try to chronicle the decline and fall of the Roman empire from the age of the Antonines (absurd, I know). . . .
