This week's edit

This week, I am...

Reading... The Dry by Jane Harper and Standard Deviation by Katherine Heiney - both excellent, especially the latter which is really wonderful.

Watching... Dunkirk, which entirely overwhelmed me and moved me beyond any film I've seen in years, and A Ghost Story, which overwhelmed me in a totally different way.  As I watched, I wasn't sure about its oddness, which always seems to be verging on pretention, but three days later I can't stop thinking about its adept and subtle exploration of loss and grief and the impossibility of time moving on without us.

Seeing... Angels in America, Part One.  A totally stunning new production at the National Theatre of Tony Kushner's iconic play, with truly extraordinary performances from Andrew Garfield and James McArdle, amongst others.  This is the final week, and it's sold out, but if you can catch it at your local cinema via NT live, DO.

Listening to... the second series of Homecoming podcast.
