Hear hear, @GylesB1. Just been to @JSTheatre and seen Dear Liar. Sparkling, funny sad, literary romp. Brilliantly acted and directed with finesse. Chapeau all round
Gyles Brandreth@GylesB1

The story of the playwright Bernard Shaw & the actress Mrs Patrick Campbell deliciously, movingly, marvellously brought to life with two wonderful performances & both heart & style at my favourite small London theatre ⁦@JSTheatre⁩ - catch it if you can. 5 stars.

A strong reading recommendation as Christmas approaches. Alexander Starritt's "Drayton & Mackenzie" is an enthralling first novel in the same league as Dickens's "Dombey & Son" or Balzac's "La Maison Nucingen." It's a portrait of a business partnership that unites an odd couple.

Great literature on capitalism is rare. But this is also a vivid and convincing portrait of Britain (Scotland as well as England) in our era of crises, from the financial crash of 2008 through Brexit to Covid. The prose is consistently strong, the dialogue always rings true.
