Actor Simon Russell Beale discusses playing Liberace on stage in I'll Be Seeing You, the new play from Martin Sherman (who wrote Bent and Mrs Henderson Presents), a sparkling fantasia which follows a young writer struggling to create a play about the flamboyant superstar with a carefully constructed public image, who was awarded £8,000 in damages after an article strongly hinted he was a homosexual. The production - directed by Alan Cumming and Ben Occhipinti - is at Pitlochry Festival Theatre until 11 October. An avatar of acclaimed Chinese-American pianist Yuja Wang is performing at the Southbank Centre in London between now and January with audience members donning a VR headset and wandering around the stage to observe her at close range. The Guardian's critic Erica Jeal, who described the performance as "like Disney's Fantasia on steroids" tells us more about the experience. And we discuss the rise of the cultural logging platform - such as Letterboxd and Storygraph - which help us curate what the films we watch and the books we read and which help us share recommendations with each other.

How Kirk's acting training at DePaul University led him toward screenwriting and directing Learning story structure through John Truby's 22-step approach and The Anatomy of Story How Chris Messina encouraged Kirk to direct his first feature, The Giant Mechanical Man Why an acting background can help directors understand how to communicate with performers How Billie Joe Armstrong approached Kirk with the initial premise for Nimrods Reverse engineering a feature screenplay from a predetermined Green Day concert ending Using real stories from Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool as inspiration for the screenplay Drawing from movies like The Goonies, Vacation, Footloose, and Risky Business to establish the film's tone Making a contemporary movie feel nostalgic through vinyl, cassettes, camcorders, old cars, and other analog textures What Kirk looks for when hiring department heads and why collaborative problem-solving matters Turning an Oklahoma City junkyard into a convincing punk venue Casting Mason Thames, Mckenna Grace, and the rest of the young ensemble Using actors' existing talents to add specificity and production value to a movie Conducting chemistry reads over Zoom when the budget made in-person auditions impractical Why rehearsal is less about locking down performances and more about making actors comfortable enough to play on set Helping actors get out of their heads by giving them time, space, and permission to experiment Using long pauses as a directing tool to help actors access emotion Why Kirk deliberately maintains a calm demeanor on set, even when production is stressful Finding unexpected moments through ad-libs and improvisation, including a spontaneous Fred Armisen scene Shooting 28 days in Oklahoma City before moving to Los Angeles for four additional days Capturing the Green Day concert with four cameras and roughly 2,000 real Green Day fans Why Kirk specifically budgeted for large numbers of extras after lessons learned on previous productions Kirk's advice for emerging filmmakers on studying story structure, watching films analytically, writing frequently, and taking advantage of accessible filmmaking tools Memorable Quotes: “I listen to these tapes and everything changed for me then.” “I feel like that's kinda like when the best stuff happens because now everyone's out of their comfort zone, but everyone's prepared so everyone can do, make that pivot.” “Even if I'm not calm, even if I'm feeling so stressed out on the inside, I just put forward this feeling like I'm good. I know what I'm doing.

On this day, 26 September 1939, the actor Ricky Tomlinson was born. Now famous for his roles in The Royle Family, Riff Raff and Mike Bassett: England Manager, he also participated in the 1972 building workers' strike. Following the dispute, Tomlinson was one of 24 building worker trade unionists who were convicted on various charges relating to the strike in what was one of the greatest miscarriages of justice faced by the British labour movement in the twentieth century. Following almost fifty years of tireless campaigning, the convictions of the Shrewsbury defendants was overturned in March 2021.Tomlinson tells us his story of the strike in our podcast episodes 65-66: https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e65-66-building-workers-strike-w-ricky-tomlinson/Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

GO APE AN APE! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD go bananas over those simian slip-ons that have transformed actors into the precocious primates we've always loved. MONSTER PARTY is giving up "furries" for "hairies" as we salute… GORILLA SUITS!!! Most monster kids of a certain age have an indelible memory of seeing an actor in a gorilla suit featured in a ton of classic horror and comedy films. In fact, many of you may have been surprised when you saw your first real-life gorilla and thought, "That's not what chased The Three Stooges!" But despite the fact that gorilla costumes didn't always achieve 100% realism, there was always a certain charm attached to seeing these awesome animal impersonators. In this episode, we dig deep into the multitude of films and TV shows featuring gorilla suits and the talented performers who brought them to life. Actors like Charles Gemora, who created gorilla costumes and appeared in such classic films as Island of Lost Souls and Murders in the Rue Morgue; George Barrows, who played Ro-man in Robot Monster, as well as gorillas in TV shows and films like The Addams Family, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Gorilla at Large; and Ray "Crash" Corrigan in The Ape Man, Captive Wild Woman, and the Three Stooges short Three Missing Links. And the list of gorilla-suit actors doesn't stop there. We couldn't do a gorilla-suit episode justice without singling out the gorilla-suit actor, movie and TV prop collector, and genre film historian BOB BURNS. Bob, who left us in 2025, was the picture of affability and courteousness, and often invited select monster kids to view his astounding museum of horror and sci-fi collectibles. And Bob would even allow you to touch the 1932 King Kong armature, operate the Alien Queen prop, and sit in the original 1961 Time Machine! In addition to the many personal appearances Bob Burns made as Kogar the Gorilla, he also played the role of Tracy the Gorilla in the 1973 Filmation TV show The Ghost Busters. Which leads us to our guest! For this episode, we have a supremely accomplished actor, voice performer, and artist whose work can be enjoyed in the video game Resident Evil Village, HBO Max's Primal, Cartoon Network's Samurai Jack, and the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse prequel Spider-Ham: Caught in a Ham. And if that doesn't make Aaron cool enough for you, he also became a friend and regular visitor of Bob Burns during the last couple of years of his life. Making his MONSTER PARTY debut, please welcome… AARON LAPLANTE! GORILLA SUITS YOU! ANY "FAST SHOW" FANS OUT THERE?

The penultimate Samuel L. Jackson themed movie collection focuses on some of the obscure, underrated and truly divisive Crime Thrillers & Revenge Dramas on his resume: *Which of these reasonable thrill rides were commonly on cable TV and streaming but still flew under the radar? *Which ones have some sadly lackluster and anticlimatic plot twists? *Which one was actually based on a manga? *And which ones could've been bigger had they not gone the VOD route? FILMS REVIEWED: Fresh, Kiss of Death, The Cavemen's Valentine, No Good Deed (2002), Cleaner (2007), Meeting Evil, The Samaritan, Kite, Reasonable Doubt (2014) & Damaged (2024).

"His face lit up with a boyish enthusiasm" [HOUN] What happens when the world of Sherlock Holmes collides with the worlds of Star Trek, Shakespeare, and the stage? T. Rick Jones—author, veteran Actors' Equity stage manager, former Managing Editor of Daily Star Trek News, and prolific contributor to Sherlock Holmes Magazine—brings a unique perspective to Sherlockiana. We explore what happens when two fandoms meet, comparing the cultures of Star Trek and Sherlockiana, and then turn to the practical question of how the adventures of Sherlock Holmes could be brought effectively to the stage. With his experience in theater production, Rick offers insights into the challenges—and possibilities—of adapting Conan Doyle's stories for live drama. Our conversation also explores Rick's writing about Arthur Conan Doyle and spiritualism, and how subjects that may seem distant from modern audiences can still be fascinating and relevant. He discusses his upcoming essay examining the intriguing connections between Shakespeare and Sherlock Holmes, as well as the wide range of interviews and essays he has produced for Sherlock Holmes Magazine. It's a conversation about Holmes, theater, literature, fandom, and popular culture—and another reminder that there are always new ways to look at the Great Detective. Our "Learned Societies" segment kicks off with Sherlockian society activities coming up in the first half of November. Then, it's a new edition of "Examining the Pictures," with the film critic, journalist, and author Christian Monggaard, BSI, with his review of the third season of the BBC's Sherlock series. Finally, the Canonical Couplet quiz will test your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a copy of Mystery!: A Celebration. for the winner.
