Somaya Critchlow talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Critchlow, born in London in 1993, makes paintings and drawings of Black women, often nude, that are rooted in the present and yet draw on a wealth of imagery from the recent and distant past. The women are fictional but can be informed by anything from self-portraits and other life studies to images from pop culture and depictions of women in the history of art. They engage frankly with what it means to represent the female body and with power relations: between the artist and her subject, between the subject and the viewer, and ultimately between Critchlow and us. Depending on your perspective, her art offers different degrees of delight and discomfort. But her balance of fine drawing, a time-honoured approach to paint and colour, and arresting imagery means that her work is endlessly intriguing. She discusses the breakthrough moment where she realised that she was her own first model, being “comfortable with feeling uncomfortable”, the influence on her of Angela Carter's response to the Marquis de Sade, her engagement with a wealth of visual artists, from Käthe Kollwitz to Francesca Woodman, Leonor Fini, Titian and Francesco de Goya, the power of David Lynch's films and the consistent importance to her of Japanese manga. She gives insight into her life in the studio and responds to our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Somaya Critchlow: The Chamber, Dulwich Picture Gallery, London, until 20 July. Group shows: A Room Hung with Thoughts British Painting Now, Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas, US, until 11 May; Woman in a Rowboat, Olivia Foundation, Mexico City, until 28 September.This podcast is sponsored by Bloomberg Connects, the arts and culture app. The free app offers access to a vast range of international cultural organisations through a single download, with new guides being added regularly.

In November 2020 a family court found that the conservative MP Kate Griffiths' then husband, Andrew Griffiths (also a former conservative MP and former minister) raped, abused & coercively controlled her. These were civil proceedings, so the finding was based on the balance of probabilities, rather than the criminal standard of probable doubt. As is the norm in family cases, this information was private and not made public. But following a successful application by journalists, supported by Kate Griffiths, the details of this case, with both parties' names attached, were published last week. Andrew Griffiths has denied allegations made by his ex-wife and ‘adamantly denied' rape. We hear from Dr Charlotte Proudman, the barrister who represented Kate Griffiths.

It's time to grab a "window seat" and be on your best "model behavior" as hosts Bobby and Kristina discuss 2017's Amélie and 2010's Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown on episode fourteen of My Favorite Flop.   ABOUT AMÉLIE Based on the 2001 French film of the same name, Amélie tells the story of a shy waitress who decides to change the lives of those around her for the better while struggling with her own isolation. The musical features music by Daniel Messé, lyrics by Messé and Nathan Tysen, and a book by Craig Lucas. Following out-of-town tryouts at Berkeley Repertory and The Ahmanson, the musical finally opened to mixed reviews on Broadway on April 3, 2017. Despite praise for its cast and design elements, many critics found issue with the score, and the show struggled at the box office. When the show failed to receive any Tony nominations in an extremely competitive season, the show closed on May 21, 2017, after 27 previews and 56 regular performances. A substantially transformed production, with new orchestrations, an expanded repertoire of songs, and new staging in the actor/muso style, opened on the West End in December 2019, at the Other Palace. Critics praised its improvements on the Broadway version, with The Guardian describing it as "a triumph of adaptation" "high on imagination", while The Daily Telegraph lauded the "wonderful, wistful evening" it made. It was nominated for three awards at the 2020 Laurence Olivier Awards: Best New Musical, Best Original Score or New Orchestrations, and Best Actress in a Musical.   Original Broadway Cast Phillipa Soo as Amélie Adam Chanler-Berat as Nino Tony Sheldon as Dufayel/Collignon David Andino as Blind Beggar/Garden Gnome/Anchorperson Randy Blair as Hipolito/Rock Star/Belgian Tourist Heath Calvert as Lucien/Adrien Wells/Mysterious Man Alison Cimmet as Amandine/Philomene Savvy Crawford as Young Amélie Manoel Felciano as Raphael/Bretodeau Harriett D.

The musical features music and lyrics by David Yazbek and a book by Jeffrey Lane. Following a series of workshops in 2009 featuring Salma Hayek, Jessica Biel, Matthew Morrison and Paulo Szot, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown opened on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre on November 4, 2010. The production was a limited engagement that was scheduled to end on January 23, 2011, but due to low grosses and ticket sales, closed early on January 2, 2011.

After celebrating “The Hi-Lo Country” we couldn't help ourselves, and we fell into the deep well of Stephen Frears' filmography. You have nothing to Frear but Frears himself. How is the world wrong about this artist? From Andras: I thought I knew Stephen Frears as a director but after bingeing most of his films I realized I've been viewing him through an American lens. No doubt he made some solid Hollywood movies but it's the UK work that reveals his true quality.

In this episode of the Roald Dahl Retrospective, Patricia, Arun, and special guest Eli "TheHeroofTomorrow" Stone discuss about the 2016 BBC two-part animated TV movie Revolting Rhymes based on the 1982 book of the same name starring Dominic West, Rob Brydon, Tamsin Greig, Rose Leslie, Gemma Chan, Bertie Carvel, David Wailliams, Isaac Hempsey Wright, and Bel Powley. The story adapts from Roald Dahl's interpretations of Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, The Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Cinderella. The plot focuses on a wolf wanting to get revenge on Little Red Riding Hood as she killed his nephews by eating her two young children. Revolting Rhymes was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short, but lost to Dear Basketball written and narrated by the late Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Kobe Bryant and animated by legendary Disney animator Glen Keane. It received mixed to positive reviews from critics calling it a short, charming film that captured the essence of Roald Dahl's stories, but not as memorable as the other animated adaptations. What do Patricia, Arun, and Eli think of the film? Listen and find out. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/old-school-lane/support

In Episode 16, Tamsin Greig joins us for a fascinating conversation about making theatre from the actor's perspective. We talk about dogs, candles, trampolining, lip balm, her love of a dressing room and how every production needs an “introducer.” We discuss better communication across the footlights and the thrill of looking into the abyss. We hear about emotional and mental focus, seeking authenticity, and the danger of joking about nipple tassels in a rehearsal.

Check out our website, for lots of extras. The EmmysIn years past, known for our awards night parties and feasts, we ate on TV trays and watched a paired down show with a paired down menu on paper plates this year. Very 2020. We posted our (partial) ballots last week, and we did pretty well! We were surprised that it was the lowest-rated Emmy's ever. Do people have something better to do?? None the less, we thought it was fun and funny. Schitt's Creek swept the comedy category, winning the first 7 awards in a row. Congrats to Dan Levy and everyone at Schitt's Creek and to Travis, who called it!RatchedAbout 1 AM on Thursday night, we realized that Netflix had probably dropped the whole first season of Ryan Murphy's origin story, Ratched. We were finished by Saturday. As regular listeners know by now, we love Ryan Murphy.Murphy takes on the iconic character from the Ken Kesey novel and Milos Forman film of the same name, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Nurse Ratched. If you like Murphy's other shows, especially AHS Asylum and Hollywood, you'll want to check out Ratched. CriminalNetflix dropped Season 2 of Criminal U.K.The unfortunate folks being interrogated this time around are Sophie Okonedo (Ratched,) Kit Harington in his first TV role since Game of Thrones, Sharon Horgan (Catastrophe), and Kunal Nayyar (Big Bang Theory.)Correction:You'll notice when you listen, Elaine, still dizzy with Murphy boy confusion, will tell ya that Sharon Horgan starred in Episodes. But of course, she meant to say Catastrophe with the amazingly talented and funny Rob Delaney. She is not Tamsin Greig!

Alan Bennett's Talking Heads have been remade for television decades after the original series. Alongside two brand new monologues, ten episodes have been re-created with actors including Jodie Comer, Sarah Lancashire and Lucian Msamati. Theatre critic Sam Marlowe reviews these socially distanced dramas, and actor Lisa Dwan joins her to discuss the art of the monologue. The pandemic has changed all of our lives, but could there be a way to change society for the better as we re-build after coronavirus. As part of BBC Radio's Re-think season, musician and broadcaster Jarvis Cocker makes the case for creating space for nature. Thomas Clay discusses his new film Fanny Lye Deliver’d, which he wrote, directed and composed the music for, and which he describes as a ‘Puritan western’. Maxine Peak and Charles Dance star as a married couple on a remote Shropshire farm in the wake of the English Civil War, whose lives change forever following the unexpected arrival of a young couple in need.

Tamsin Greig on Breaking it Down with Frank MacKay - Green Wing, Black Books, Shaun Of The Dead by Frank MacKay

Britain, Britain, Britain.  Over here in America, it's long had a storied reputation for its humor.  Or should I say humour?  From Monty Python to The IT Crowd, it's been firmly entrenched in our mainstream, if erratically.  The next contender for the throne is Belgravia, starring Tamsin Greig, known for her role on this show.  Also other shows, but in our opinion this one is the most important.  Belgravia is from the same mind as Downton Abbey, which did pretty well we hear.

KPFA theatre critic Richard Wolinsky updates the state of Bay Area theatre and gives a listing of on-line streaming theatre, both local and national. Text of update. During times of stress, live theatre has been out front, enhancing community, relieving anxiety, and pointing the way to better futures. Now, of course, audiences are sitting in their homes, and theatres around the world are shuttered.   Cal Shakes, California Shakespeare Theatre, has cancelled its entire 2020 season The final plays from Bay Area companies of the 2019-2020 season have already been cancelled or will be cancelled as social distancing most likely continues into the summer.   But live theatre does go on, or at least recordings of live theatre, which can be seen by accessing your Roku, your Apple TV, your smart television, or your laptop, tablet or cell phone.   In the Bay Area. Berkeley Rep, Marin Theatre Company and Theatreworks Silicon Valley have all presented their most recent productions, streaming, to ticket buyers, with limited additional purchase days. ACT's two shows, Gloria and Toni Stone, are still streaming this week. Tickets can be purchased through late in the day April 3rd and streaming ends on April 5th. Go to act-sf.org for more information.   Around the Bay, The Magic Theatre is offering a daily mini-podcast with various playwrights through soundcloud. Go to magictheatre.org. Marin Theatre Company continues to offer its most recent production, Love. For more information, go to Marintheatre.org. Shotgun in Berkeley is planning a series of podcasts of plays and artist interviews, dates undetermined. For more information, go to shotgunplayers.org. Theatre Rhino has been presenting live one-man productions with John Fisher on Facebook Live, including streaming his recent show at The Marsh, Radical. For up to date information and tickets go to therhino.org.   Moving outside the Bay Area. London's famed National Theatre is streaming free one play each week, all week, starting this Thursday with One Man, Two Guvnors starring James Corden, followed on subsequent Thursdays by Jane Eyre and Treasure Island, with Twelfth Night starring Tamsin Greig beginning April 23rd. You can find those plays on the National Theatre You Tube channel.   Terrence McNally, one of the first casualties of Covid-19, is being honored by LA TheatreWorks with an audio-only recording of Lips Together, Teeth Apart at latw.org. A 2018 documentary on the famed playwright, Every Act of Life, is available at Amazon Prime., which also has film versions of The Ritz, and Frankie and Johnny, and a documentary on Corpus Christi.   The Public Theater is streaming it's free Shakepseare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing, at thirteen.org, The Metropolitan Opera is streaming, free one opera a day from its 14 year series of theatrical recordings, starting at 7:30 pm and continuing to 6:30 the next day. Go to the Met Opera on Demand app on Roku or Apple TV or Samsung smart TVS, click browse and preview or explore the app on tablets and cell phones to access without logging in. For dance fans, Aivin Ailey. Org is streaming full length works, dance classes and short films.   Moving into subscription services, you can watch plays first aired on Great Performances if you're a KQED subscriber, on the PBS app. Many of those same plays, plus many more, can be seen on the BroadwayHD app. That app has a seven day free trial period before paid subscriptions kick in.   Amazon Prime also has a pretty fair selection, though you have to go down several rabbit holes to get there. Netflix is more spotty, focusing mostly on films and TV shows. You Tube also has several full performances and recordings as well, but like Amazon Prime, it requires some effort to find them, and you have to make sure you're getting the full play, and not a short clip.   Moving forward, most of the Bay Area theatre companies have released their upcoming schedules for the fall. BroadwaySF just sent out information to subscribers about its next season, which includes Hadestown, Moulin Rouge and To Kill a Mockingbird.   Right now, though, we all have to live day by day, and keep our fingers crossed that we will have live theatre back on the baords in the late summer and fall. I'm Richard Wolinsky on theatre for KPFA. The post Theatre Update April 1, 2020 appeared first on KPFA.

Clive Anderson and Arthur Smith are joined by Hugo Weaving, Tamsin Greig, Rachael Stirling and Samra Habib for an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy. With music from Julia Biel and Alex Rex.

One person, two perspectives on grief. Plunged unexpectedly into widowhood at just 49 years old, psychotherapist Sasha Bates describes in searing honesty the agonisingly raw feelings unleashed by the loss of her husband and best friend, Bill. At the same time, she attempts to keep her therapist hat in place and create some perspective from psycho-analytic theory. From the depths of her confusion she gropes for ways to manage and bear the pain - by looking back at all that she has learnt from psychotherapeutic research, and from accepted grief theories, to help her make sense of her altered reality. Languages of Loss starts a necessary and overdue conversation about death and loss. It breaks down taboos and tries to find humour and light amidst the depressing, bewildering reality. It is an essential companion to help support readers through the agony of those early months, giving permission for all the feelings, and offering various methods of living with them.This book's overriding message is that everyone's experience of grief is different, but knowing more about the theory, and learning a new vocabulary, while not necessarily easing the grief, can help you feel less alone, and at some point enable you to reflect back and see how far you have come.

All things, even slanderhour, must come to an ending.  This fitting epsiode that ends this series of SH is dedicated to my favourite actor: Tamsin Greig.  She's brilliant, isn't she?  What can you say about Tamsin that hasn't already been said? Well, that's the end of series one.  If there is enough demand, I may do some more.  I need to go away and have a think about who else is good.  Goodbye Follow slanderhour @slanderhour on twitter and at www.facebook.com/slanderhour XOXO

The first film in our Ben Wheatley season is his cinematic debut, DOWN TERRACE. We offer contrasting reviews in perhaps surprising directions (given our PP form), and then spend time talking about different attitudes to masculinity, what it means to be part of a family unit, and how this film — for all its apparent parochialism — could in fact be a comment on the political situation in 2008.Next WeekOur next film is the *incredibly* brutal KILL LIST (2011).

They just don't come cuter than Kathleen Rose Perkins. As fabulous as her Carol Rance on Episodes, Kathleen's all that, and then a lot! Hysterical, gorgeous, adorable, warm, accessible, authentic and fearless. I adore her even more than I did binging five seasons of her, tracking her down and getting an instant "Yes." We talked growing up in Michigan with her creative PE teacher dad, four brothers, and supportive, encouraging mom... starting out wanting to be a CEO and kind of becoming one, or playing one, sort of on TV. Musical theatre in college and rep to moving to Hollywood, working day jobs and lying to sneak off to auditions. Working with Ben Affleck in Gone Girl, Brad Garrett in 'Till Death, Jay Mohr in Gary Unmarried, to Matt LeBlanc and John Pankow in Episodes. The British cast, mad love for Tamsin Greig who shared the screen with for five seasons, maybe four lines with Mr. LeBlanc... her longtime love, Christopher, creator, and showrunner of Merlin, going into their 2nd season, their story to pilot, which Kathleen broke into the business in, playing herself... what?!? And, her decision to create and write her own vehicles, currently in process. I cannot get enough of this vivacious, charismatic, crazy fun girl, who I feel like I've known forever. I sure hope I will. Fun, fun, more fun!

The actor reflects on the challenges and rewards of playing Malvolia in Twelfth Night.

Tamsin Greig has been gender-blind cast as Malvolia in The National Theatre's production of Twelfth Night. Does it work or is it an interesting novelty Quebecois film director Xavier Dolan's latest film It's Only The End Of The World was booed when it won The Grand Prix at last year's Cannes Festival and some reviewers have described it as "disappointing" "excruciating" and "deeply unsatisfying".

Revolting Rhymes By Roald Dahl Read by Tamsin Greig You can think again if you thought you knew the stories of some of the most popular fairy tales. Here are six of the best known retold, with more than a twist or two, by the master of the comic and the blood-curdling.

Normality returns for some value of normal. Lucy monologues, the callers call in and Roifield is extremely smug. Mexican wifi is pretty flaky so this summary will stop And start. Roifield is smug because Kirsty has the Scotch Egg in the oven as predicted and I am grateful to Paul Roome for providing all of the evidence. Lucy was far more concerned about the lack of dressmaking knowledge by the writer - Roifield did CSE needlework and agreed with Lucy. It is very strange this week. Dusty asks if Caz could be the next Hayley? Dusty can be found outside the Post Office. Moiness reports that the wonderful Felicity Jones (ex Emma Grundy) is great in Rogue One. Brummie through and through! And we all felt that the way Debbie cut Rob off at the balls was exemplary in both use of the character and the perfect delivery of Tamsin Greig.

Cuando abandonó el pueblo, era una adolescente tímida y poco agraciada, pero ahora se ha convertido en una deslumbrante mujer que desata en el pueblo una tormenta de envidia, deseo y maledicencia.
