I am haunted by John M. Barry's book The Great Influenza about the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic. I highly recommend it to put our times into a broader historical context. I'm glad I read it before this pandemic hit. https://t.co/QEewRWNNyi

Brave New World

Aldous Huxley

@LailaLalami I also think often of how the social media outrage cycle aligns with the Violent Passion Surrogate of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Feel something intensely for a moment, take no meaningful action, and then comfortably return to the unchallenged status quo.

Playing Shakespeare: An Actor's Guide by John Barton If you act / write for actors / direct actors, if you love Shakespeare, if you love poetry, if you love language, read this book. It profoundly changed how I read/write/edit/act/direct. https://t.co/oVCUD1uJgj

One of my all-time favourite writing books is Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg. I was lucky to read it when I started writing & it cracked writing open for me. I warmly recommend it if you want to take up writing. https://t.co/fftiU0CrqA #Writing #WritingCommunity

Have I ever mentioned all that I made this gif for "The Trouble with Angels", the romantic comedy I narrated as Eden Cavell for Maggie Adams? I'm quite pleased with how it came out. https://t.co/H0x6zhklI0
