Gaudy Night: A Lord Peter Wimsey Mystery with Harriet Vane

Dorothy L. Sayers
MURIEL ZAGHAMURIEL ZAGHA

@StigAbell She’s great. I love her theatrical settings. Though for me - within that school - Dorothy L Sayers reigns supreme. I happened upon The Nine Tailors when staying at someone’s house 20 years ago and was completely bowled over. Absolute favourite: Gaudy Night (though murderless).

In this week’s @TheTLS I reviewed the excellent film memoir Cary Grant’s Suit (Nine Movies That Made Me the Wreck I Am Today) by Todd McEwen. A highly entertaining book which illustrates how deeply formative movies are and the special allure of Technicolor. https://t.co/z5mkGubzSJ

Book Cover for: Nixon: A Life, Jonathan Aitken

Nixon: A Life

Jonathan Aitken
MURIEL ZAGHAMURIEL ZAGHA

Listening back on @BBCSounds to Private Passions with Jonathan Aitken - quite the rollercoaster life from political disgrace to prison chaplaincy. Inspiring musical choices. As a child Aitken sang with Benjamin Britten. Extra nugget: Nixon was a Gilbert & Sullivan devotee.

The Last Days of Disco, 1

David F. Ross
MURIEL ZAGHAMURIEL ZAGHA

The Last Days of Disco 🪩 by Whit Stillman. Very funny and shrewd about - among other things - the impact of the sexual revolution on young women. https://t.co/yYSGzBgA9c

Who Killed My Father

Edouard Louis
MURIEL ZAGHAMURIEL ZAGHA

In @TheTLS this week, I review Who Killed My Father, Ivo van Hove’s smart stage adaptation of the autofiction book by Edouard Louis, about a son’s reflections on his father’s life. Hans Kesting’s uncanny, protean solo performance borders on contemporary dance. @youngvictheatre https://t.co/YqBosLJTGA
