    1 ED MILIBAND THE ANDREW MARR SHOW 28TH JUNE 2020 ED MILIBAND MP Shadow Business Secretary (Rough transcript, check against delivery) AM: Welcome Mr Miliband. Was it right that Rebecca Long-Bailey was sacked? EM: It was. It’s important to explain why, because Rebecca is a very decent person, but the reason why there was a problem – the Maxine Peake interview, so the original interview Rebecca then tweeted, is not that it had a criticism of the state of Israel. I’m a big critic of what the Israeli government has done on a number of occasions. Instead it was a false criticism of the state of Israel linked – or rather, the Israeli Defence Force – linked to the death of George Floyd, wrongly, saying that somehow the tactics that killed George Floyd had been learnt from the Israelis. Let me explain why this is an important point. And the problem is that over the centuries when calamitous things have happened Jews have been blamed. And that’s why there was an anti-Semitism issue in that – in relation to this. And that’s why I believe Keir took the right decision. AM: Do you think that Rebecca Long-Bailey understood that? Do you think that she is anti-Semitic? EM: No, I don’t think she is anti-Semitic. I think she made a significant error of judgement. I know Rebecca well. I think she’s a decent person. But let me tell you what this underlines. This underlines the fact that Keir recognises the gravity of the hurt that has been caused to the Jewish community over the last few years by our failure to deal properly with issues of anti-Semitism.

  • Moving Women Centre Stage: Structures of Feminist-Tragic Feeling Elaine Aston in September 2015, Vicky Featherstone, Artistic Di
    Moving Women Centre Stage: Structures of Feminist-Tragic Feeling Elaine Aston In September 2015, Vicky Featherstone, Artistic Director of London’s Royal Court Theatre, was widely reported in the British press as commenting on the lack of female roles equivalent in stature to the tragic figures of Shakespeare’s Lear and Hamlet, or Miller’s Willy Loman. Her observation that audiences are more “comfortable” with a “male narrative” sparked considerable debate. My article engages with and develops this debate by turning a feminist gaze on two plays in Featherstone’s Royal Court repertoire: Penelope Skinner’s Linda and Zinnie Harris’s How to Hold Your Breath, both of which premiered in 2015. Mapping feminist thinking on to Raymond Williams’ reflections on “modern tragedy”, I conceive of a feminist-tragic feeling as crossing the divide between the political and the tragic. Formally, I argue this encourages a move away from the generically-bound categorisation of tragedy with its attendant definitions and theories, and makes it possible to think in more expansive, fluid, genre-crossing ways of what Rita Felski terms a “tragic sensibility”. Ultimately, through close readings of Linda and How to Hold Your Breath, I argue how each structures a feminist-tragic feeling for a world in which Western privilege has repeatedly failed to democratise. KEY WORDS: Feminism, tragedy, Zinnie Harris, Penelope Skinner “We haven’t seen a female King Lear, we haven’t seen a female Willy Loman, we haven’t seen a female Hamlet”, complained Vicky Featherstone, the first woman to be appointed Artistic Director of London’s Royal Court Theatre (Featherstone, qtd.

Shindo’s career as director and writer extended to 2010. He sadly passed away in May 2012 and this season will be the first world retrospective of Shindo’s work. The season will include screenings of Onibaba (1964) and Kuroneko (1968), still arguably Shindo’s best known films in the West. x The Vanishing Screenplay: Jean-Claude Carrière The season focuses on the career of Jean-Claude Carrière - a screenwriter, but also a novelist and essayist, cartoonist and sometime director and actor. His screenplays underpin some of the great international films of the late 20th century (Belle du Jour, 1967; The Tin Drum, 1979 and Cyrano de Bergerac, 1990). x Extended Run: The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoise (Dir Luis Buñuel 1979) NEW PRINT 1-12 July Newly restored for its fortieth anniversary, this sly, slippery comedy of bourgeois manners remains one of the finest achievements of Luis Buñuel’s dazzlingly creative late period.
