Hello all. Thank you to all those who have been kind enough to come to the show in London. It has been such a fantastic run. We close here in a couple of weeks and then on to Bath. That should be great fun too. I hope Bath will just the place for this production. I have received so many kind words, and presents from people during this run. Thank you all.  I am sorry if I have sometimes run in or out of the theatre rather rapidly. I am usually late for something!

Oliver Parker's latest movie Swimming With Men will be part of the Closing Night Gala Strand of the Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF) on July 1, 2018. The movie is a bittersweet British comedy packed with delightful performances.

The winning comedy drama stars Rob Brydon as a middle-aged man who stumbles across a rather unusual way to try and deal with the issues in his marriage.

The EIFF rolls out the red carpet for its special guests.... Daniel Mays, Jane Horrocks, Thomas Turgoose, and Nathaniel Parker will accompany Rob Brydon who will also take part in an In-Person Q&A.

Half way through the run at the Vaudeville. What a lot of fun it is. I have really got back my enthusiasm for the boards. Love it. Mind you we are doing a Brilliant play. Blimey Oscar was SOOOO good. How could the world treat him so badly towards the end. Anyway, what a fab time. Cast are tremendous. No starriness, just comraderie. And talent. And the website visitors who have come and said HELLO afterwards have been so sweet. I got a lovely present from Evelyn and Roland from Paris. What a charming couple. Thanks guys, Merci. And so many others including non-website peeps. The chap who voices me into French for Merlin and more, came. Everyone has been so nice.

Oscar Wilde's sharp and witty drama explores corruption, blackmail and honour when a damning secret threatens to ruin ambitious politician Sir Robert Chiltern's career and marriage.
