ROBIN MORGAN TOUR Q&A What a Man, What a Man ROBIN MORGAN TOUR Q&A What A Man, What A Man, What A Man, What A Mighty Good Man (Say It Again Now) 1. What’s the show about? It’s about men and masculinity and how roles are changing. But it’s mainly about three men: my Dad, my son, and my best friend Dave. I recently became a father and got married (in that order, too, FOR SHAME), so that features as well. 2. Has the subject matter caused you any trouble amongst audience members? I do talk about toxic masculinity which is a, shall we say, spicy topic. In previews, I did have a couple of walk-outs. I started talking about the Gillette advert from a couple of years ago, and two men stood up and loudly left. I was a bit worried but then they returned to the room to tell their wives to also leave. So, quite on brand for them, I think. 3. What’s it like performing your own show rather than writing for TV names? I love it. I love crafting a show of my own and telling stories from my own life. But I also love writing for other people. I’m really lucky to have written jokes for people over the years - one of my first jobs was to write on one of Sandi Toksvig’s final News Quizzes, and then I wrote on nearly all of Miles Jupp’s. It’s been a dream. 4. What’s the most fun (non-stand-up) job you’ve worked on recently? A couple of years ago I wrote on the reboot of Blind Date, hosted by Paul O’Grady. That was a show I used to watch with my parents as a kid (why did they let me watch it?). But from that, I was recommended to someone who produced the MTV European Music Awards. So last November I was taken to Seville for four days and wrote jokes and sketches for proper bonafide celebrities. If you come to the tour show, I’ll tell you who’s the biggest diva of the lot. I love gossip. 5. Do you have any pre-show rituals? I used to panic about eating before I went on stage, I had a meal 2 hours before I was due on. Now I don’t care. I’ll probably walk onto the stage eating a full roast dinner. 6. Do you discuss politics in your show? Not really. I have one Boris joke which I sometimes use. Oh fine I’ll tell you it here: “I felt a bit sorry for Boris the day he became PM. He must have been so nervous. Waking up on the morning, thousands of texts on his phone, all saying: “Good luck today, Dad.” 7. Any radio or TV projects in the pipeline? Yes! I’m on a brilliant CBBC panel show called The Dog Ate My Homework on January 19th. I’m writing and starring in Ellie Taylor’s new Radio 4 show called Safe Space with Ellie Taylor (my name’s not in the title which I’m totally fine about), and I’m just about to record the second series of my own sitcom Relocation which is on BBC Radio Wales in April/May time. 8. Why such a long title? I thought it would be funny to have a song lyric which everyone knew, which related to men / masculinity, and was really, really long. But it’s come back to haunt me - I’ve had to type What A Man, What A Man, What A Man, What A Mighty Good Man (Say It Again Now) so many times, I’m furious, plus venues have contacted me saying that it’s too long to fit on physical tickets, and in one case I broke a venue’s website because the link was too long. I’m sorry for any pain I’ve caused, and I will now take time to reflect, before next year touring my apology show: What A Man, What A Man, What A Man, What A Mighty Good Man (Say It Again Now) 2.

  • St. George's School Windsor Castle Association CHRONICLE 2019
    St. George’s School Windsor Castle Association CHRONICLE 2019 Welcome to another edition of the Chronicle, one that is likely to be the last. In years gone by Old Pupils’ news used to be included in the Chronicle as part of the school’s summary of each term. At the end of the last century, this section migrated to the newly School Magazine but by the beginning of this century disappeared from view giving rise to the rebirth of The Chronicle. Proving that there is nothing new under the sun, from next year the two publications will be reunited as part of the drive under way to integrate alumni matters within the daily operation of the school. This is a very welcome development and one that comes early in our new Headmaster’s tenure. William and Catherine Goldsmith joined St George’s in January of this year and have right from the beginning been kind and interested hosts to the Association Committee. I hope that you get to meet them both in the near future and hear William’s hopes and plans for the school. It is perhaps an opportune moment to remind ourselves the objects of the Association as with the arrival of a new Headmaster I am sure we will all wish to ensure he receives our support and encouragement as he charts the path ahead: The objects shall be to encourage Members to keep in touch with each other and with the School. Members shall also be encouraged to give their support to the School, its Choral Traditions, and the Headmaster whenever they can do so.

To me The Connection is home.’ As you may know, each gift is shared between the Vicar’s Relief Fund and The Connection at St Martin’s.

  • THEATRE in ENGLAND 2012-13 UNIVERSITY of ROCHESTER Mara Ahmed
    THEATRE IN ENGLAND 2012-13 UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER Mara Ahmed The Master and Margarita Barbican Theatre 12/28/12 Based on Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel, this adaptation by Simon McBurney is as inventive and surprising as the book’s storyline. Satan disguised as Professor Woland visits Stalinist Russia in the 1930s. He and his violent retinue use their black magic and death prophesies to dispose of people and take over their apartments; most villainy and betrayal in the play is in fact motivated by the acquisition of apartment space. Bulgakov is satirizing the restriction of private space in Stalin’s Russia but buildings are also a metaphor for the structure of society as a whole. Rooms are demarcated by light beams, in the constantly changing set design, in order to emphasize relative boundaries and limits. The second part of the play focuses on Margarita and her lover, a writer who has just finished a novel about the complex relationship between Pontius Pilate (the Roman procurator of Judaea) and Yeshua ha-Nostri (Jesus, a wandering philosopher). Margarita calls him the Master on account of his brilliant literary chef d’oeuvre. She is devoted to him. However, the Master’s novel is ridiculed by the Soviet literati and after being denounced by a neighbor, he is taken into custody and ends up at a lunatic asylum. The parallels between his persecution and that of his principal character, Jesus, are brought into relief by constant shifts in time and place, between Moscow and Jerusalem. Margarita makes a bargain with Satan on the night of his Spring Ball, which she agrees to host, and succeeds in saving the Master.
