Coincidentally, on the day I went to see the magnificent expressionist drama Machinal at the Old Vic, I also visited the Expressionists exhibition at Tate Modern. It centred on the early twentieth century Blue Rider group that included Wassily Kandinsky, Gabriele Münter and Marianne Werefkin. Incidentally, given the feminist standpoint of Machinal, it’s interesting that Blue Rider included and respected female artists, which wasn’t the case with Machinal author Sophie Treadwell working in theatre. The range of work by the expressionist artists, from the clearly representational to virtually abstract, has in common an attempt to use shape and colour to convey the feeling of a person or place, rather than the more visually accurate observations made by their predecessors, such as the Impressionists. There are times when you enter a room, it feels like the paint has been thrown in your face. And it’s a similar feeling when you are hit by Machinal’s mustard coloured, claustrophobic set, stark lighting, industrial sound, and the mechanical dialogue and movement that convey the oppression of the main character Helen, played by Rosie Sheehy. My review of the play is on my YouTube channel Theatre Reviews With Paul Seven, and on my website #expressionism #wassilykandinsky #gabrielemünter #mariannewerefkin #rosiesheehy #soohietreadwell #oldvic

Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier travel to New York in April 1946, where Olivier was to perform with the Old Vic Company for a six week season of four plays: Henry IV parts 1 and 2, Uncle Vanya, Oedipus Rex and The Critic. Vivien was not a participant in the company, and was still recovering from her bout with tuberculosis at this time. . . . . 📸: V&A, Topfoto #vivienleigh #laurenceolivier #theoliviers #oldvic #classicactress #classicactor

May 10, 1961 - The Old Vic Tour Company, led by actress Vivien Leigh toured Australia and New Zealand and opened in Melbourne on July 12th of that year. Photos show Vivien, Jack Merivale, Roderick Horn & Frank Middlemass rehearsing “Twelfth Night” at the Finsbury Park Empire in preparation for the tour. The cast, although not in costume at this rehearsal, worked amid the scenery which was sent out shortly after to Australia in advance of the tour. #vivienleigh #oscarwinner #movies #oldhollywood #classicfilm #classicmovies #bestactress #classicactress #glamour #film #hollywood #vivianleigh #oldhollywoodstars #viviencollector #viviencollection #vintagehollywood #vintagehollywoodglamour #вивьенли #ヴィヴィアンリー #silverscreenstars #silverscreen #theatre #theater #vivienleighfans #jackmerivale #twlefthnight #stagerehearsal #oldvic #theatrelife

Truly extraordinary and shockingly vivid performance 🎭 from @rsheesh in ‘Machinal’ @oldvictheatre - and as there were eleven (yes, eleven) school groups in the matinee audience today, who remained hushed and attentive throughout, I think we can also say it was completely gripping. Superb supporting cast too 👌🏽 If you haven’t already got tickets 🎟 you need to sort it out pronto. #machinal #oldvic #rosiesheehy #extraordinary #gripping #shocking

Released in theaters on this date in 1948, "Hamlet" was Laurence Olivier's second film as director, released four years after his directorial debut "Henry V." Olivier had spent those four years away from filmmaking, dedicating his efforts to co-directing the Old Vic. The time away did not hurt his filmmaking abilities, as "Hamlet" won four Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor for Olivier. #LaurenceOlivier #Hamlet #TheOldVic #OldVic #ShakespearenActor #Shakespearen #ShakespearenActors #ToBeOrNotToBe #WilliamShakespeare #Shakespeare #BestPicture #BestActor #May4 #HollywoodHistory #VintageHollywood #GoldenAgeOfHollywood #OldHollywood #ClassicHollywood #ClassicMovie #ClassicMovies #ClassicFilms #ClassicFilm

I’m honoured to have had my book reviewed by Michael Shmith, writer and editor but more importantly, son of the late prominent Melbourne photographer Athol Shmith in The Australian Book Review. Yes I have to agree, in hind-site we should’ve been a little more severe in the editing process but he might’ve missed the point of including the back stories to the hotels, theatres and cities. Nevertheless I couldn’t have asked for a better review by someone as prominent and relevant to the book as he. Everyone’s talking about the new biopic about to start filming called ‘The Florist’ based on one year in Vivien Leigh’s life from a script inspired by a box of ‘so called’ love letters between Vivien and a florist she befriended in New York in 1966. Has anyone seen them? Shameless self-promo coming your way here- Heck Michael Shmith thinks my book would make a damned good Netflix series! At least you’ll know everything was sited, thoroughly researched and based on fact. Any offers? #vivienleigh #laurenceolivier #1948oldvictour #1948 #vivandlarry #oldvic #oldvictheatre #atholshmith #photographer #australianhistory #theatretour #scarlettohara #theaustralianbookreview #review #bookreview #netflix #biopic #theflorist #ryanmurphy #ryanmurphyproductions
It's been a two-show week, both based on real people. 'Machinal' at @oldvictheatre is a play written in the 1920s by Sophie Treadwell based on notorious murderer Ruth Snyder. It's a striking & physical production, and a great example of how an ensemble can work together to tell a story. 'Three Queens' at baronscourtw14 is a behind the scenes look at the power struggle between Queen Mary & Lady Jane Grey, as well as a young Elizabeth. It's an interesting period of history that is seeped in intrigue & the story is nicely told by the writer Rosamund Gravelle. Both are well worth a watch! #theatre #machinal #threequeens @kiboproductions #newwriting #revival #oldvic #baronscourttheatre #London #baronscourt
Few new designs to test run this weekend, only one of each for the markets but will be taking orders and if they go down well a proper release soon. Will be at North Cross Road this Saturday & @hernehillmarket Sunday plus adding a new one to the mix - @lowermarshmarket which I'll hopefully be starting next Friday, weather allowing.

Matinee at The Old Vic #oldvic #machinal #matinee #welcometothecheapseats #theatre #theoldvic #greyday
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My second five star play this week, #Machinal at the #oldvic, #sophietreadwell’s 1928 expressionist play based on the real case of a young woman executed for murdering her husband. Everything about this was perfect: design, concept, direction, movement. The supporting cast were all very good and #RosieSheehy was astonishing as the young woman, anxious and overwhelmed by the machinery of her dull, oppressive life. Absolutely riveting. #londontheatre #2024theatre #playsbywomen
Saturday afternoon theatre (we love a sensible bedtime). I know close to nothing about this except that they had stalls seats for £25. And Rosie Sheehy is one of my favourite actresses. #theatre #londontheatre #matinee #oldvic #oldvictheatre #ovmachinal
Still coming down after this. I read about it on Thursday and booked a ticket for the following night. It’s exactly what theatre should be. Daring, dynamic, shocking, spellbinding… theatre perfection! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #machinal #oldvic #ovmachinal

He’s trodden the boards at many different theatres, from The Arcola, Royal Exchange, Salisbury Playhouse, Soho Theatre, to the Sheffield Studio, Theatre Royal, Finborough Theatre, Old Vic New Voices and The Globe, many of these he’s returned to - no doubt due to his charm, warmth, talent and zest for the live audience. #actor #tv #theatre #film #radio #headshot #portrait #actorheadshot #londonheadshot #londonphotographer #leedsheadshot #leedsphotographer #BBC #ITV #CoronationStreet #CallTheMidwife #LifeonMars #TheGlobe #Shakespeare #OldVic #RocketShots

The @oldvictheatre poster says it all really. This piece has everything. Office boredom, kitchen sink tedium, domestic with no hope of bliss. A passionate but doomed love affair, murder most horrid, courtroom drama and despite knowing the true story behind it, it still managed to reach a shocking and grotesque ending for me. I sympathised wholly with the main protagonist. The jack hammer moment alone (you need to see this) would have sent me over the edge and that husband would leave anyone woman homicidal. Another day when I count my blessings I am FREEEEEEEEEE! #machinal #oldvic #sophietreadwell #hotdawg #yellownotmellow💛

"The Skin of our Teeth" is merely a restatement of platitudes. Wilder reminds us of the human essentials, of things, which, though they change, yet remain the same things. He sees that, despite human arrogance, life is small under the stars, but that, conversely, it is made divine by the vision and wisdom of artist and philosopher. In the play, Aristotle and Spinoza are personified by stage hands because their thought has permeated human existence and has become as much part of the living universe as the stars rotating through eternity. At the end of the play, Sabina comes to the footlights and repeats the speech with which she began it: "The whole world's at sixes and sevens and why the house hasn't fallen about our ears long ago is a miracle to me... This is where you came in. We have to go on for ages and ages yet...." The recurring adventures of "Life with Father" continue. The non-stop vaudeville starts all over again. But, says Thornton Wilder with great relevance to our own times, if we have so far survived to produce the human show, it is only by the skin of our teeth. -- Henry Adler Happy heavenly birthday to playwright Thornton Wilder, born on this day in 1897. Wilder gave us The Skin of Our Teeth, which Vivien Leigh considered her favorite modern play, and in which she played the role of Sabina in four productions, 1945 & 1946 in London, 1948 in Australia and New Zealand and again on television in 1959. The two were friends, and Wilder recounts in his journal a conversation with Vivien in 1951 regarding the book Anna Karenina: "I now see that I have all my life been an idiot about Anna Karenina-which came to such a bouquet of ineptitude in my conversation with Vivien Leigh about it: I have never had the faintest glimmer about that novel and now it is all to be reread."

James Corden and Anna Maxwell Martin to star at The Old Vic this June - #OldVicTheatre @oldvictheatre #oldvic #theoldvic
We’ve already seen ‘Nessa’ - Ruth Jones going down a storm in Sister Act. Now @j_corden (Smithy) is to star in his first play since giving up The Late Late Show. The Constituent gets to @oldvictheatre from the 13th June. This volatile new play stars BAFTA Award winner Anna Maxwell Martin (Motherland, Line of Duty) as a hard-working opposition backbencher whose ideals of public office are tested by the demands of a man in crisis, played by Tony, BAFTA and Emmy Award winner James Corden (One Man, Two Guvnors, The History Boys). Directed by Olivier and Tony Award winner Matthew Warchus (A Christmas Carol, Matilda The Musical) and written by Olivier Award winner Joe Penhall (Blue/Orange, Mood Music), The Constituent deconstructs politics, panic alarms and the conflict between public service and personal safety. We’ll be there on that first night and no doubt will bring you more. #latelateshow #latelateshowwithjamescorden #gavinandstacey #smithy #southwales #oldvic #carpoolkaraoke #jamescorden
Yesterday I took myself off for the day to see my beautiful friend @rsheesh give her penultimate performance as Puck in Stratford ✨ Hands down the best Puck I ever did see 😭🧚🏻♀️💚 There were some truly magical moments in this show and to hear a theatre choc full of people, ringing with laughter on a Saturday afternoon was a tonic for the soul 💚 Rosie works like no other actress I’ve seen .. she gives her heart & soul, body & mind on every stage .. compelling to watch in every role she plays & with a fearlessness & grace I absolutely love ✨ Frankly, her range is ridiculous 💚 I knew she could dance like a dream but yesterday I heard her sing for the first time .. just gorgeous ✨ Someone asked me afterwards if I was an actress too, and I replied No, not any more, I just do voice work now.. and then this morning I thought, why did I say that ? Is it because I don’t know if I would have what it takes to get up on a stage any more ? Who knows .. What does it mean to be an actress these days ? In an increasingly cutthroat industry where ego driven narcissism & performative overacting reigns & many young actresses seem to feel the need to get Botoxed to the hilt so they can post endless pictures of their pout on Insta, every now and then someone special comes along who cuts through all that crap with a flick of her faerie fingers, a lick of the lips & carries you into another world for a few hours .. Makes all that incredibly hard work that no one sees look so effortless & creates the sheer magic that theatre should be all about .. She restores my faith in what it means to be an actress every time I go to watch her and I would suggest you do the same .. You can find her next playing the Young Woman in Machinal at the Old Vic .. Some leap ✨ Go girl 💚🏴🌟 #machinal #oldvic #theatre
Just For One Day | 30/03/24
Show @liveaidmusical Theatre @oldvictheatre Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So pleased to have finally seen Just For One Day, it’s one I’ve been excited for. A great show with a talented cast and wonderful arrangements of classic songs. Excited to hear the cast album (announced just a couple of days ago) and to hear more about its future life! The good - The music, it’s just great. - The cast. All of them, but a few stand outs for me were @jofosterrr (the coat-choreo, I mean what in the Joseph and the technicolour drag race - OUTSTANDING!) @julie_atherton (had the audience eating out of the palm of her hand! Hilarious) @joelmontague10 and #craigeels (great chemistry between these two) @misssteers what a voice! - A well written book that (in my opinion) really captured Bob Geldof, made me laugh and brought tears to my eyes. The ‘could be better’ - Impossible to capture a rock concert feeling when you’re sat down being quiet in a theatre. I actually think this could really work as a more immersive experience (think Guys and Dolls-esque) - Sound. When singing through the handheld mics - often a lot of diction was lost. Not sure if this was an ongoing thing, and luckily when the songs are so well known it’s not so much of an issue. #justforoneday #theatre #musicaltheatre #westend #westendmusical #liveaid #bobgeldof #theatrelife #theatrebloggers #theatreblogger #theatrereviews #theatrereview #oldvic #oldvictheatre #westendmusicals #theatrelove #theatrekid #theatrenerd #westendshow #liveaidmusical #londontheatrereviews #london #newmusical
