Jane Livingstone

I'm 58. If your life feels chaotic and financially unstable, I can't stress this enough:

My @heraldscotland @heraldmagazine review of A Piano Full of Feathers, writer Jane Livingstone’s celebration of the songs of Irving Berlin. heraldscotland.com/news/25572697.… @perthTCH until Nov 1. perththeatreandconcerthall.com/whats-on/a-pia…

Fancy seeing an entire Busby Berkley musical performed by just two (outstanding!) people? Frances Thorburn and Ross Forbes Mackenzie are incredible in A Piano Full Of Feathers - they'll make you laugh and cry, guaranteed. perththeatreandconcerthall.com/whats-on/a-pia…

#DAFC is delighted to reveal our third kit for season 2025/26. The Pars, to this day, run out to 'Into The Valley' by the Skids, and our third kit pays the ultimate homage to one of the greatest bands to come out of Dunfermline. ℹ️ tinyurl.com/292f3afc

I so loved Gill Hornby’s novel Godmersham Park that I wasn’t sure I wanted to watch its BBC dramatisation – Miss Austen – in case it disappointed, but I’m so glad I did. It is a work of quiet genius. Andrea Gibb has adapted it faultlessly, and the acting is unshowily exquisite. Of course Keeley Hawes is wonderful, as is Rose Leslie (both giving restrained yet knockout performances) as well as Mirren Mack, Jessica Hynes, indeed, everyone in it – and I am now utterly obsessed with the extraordinarily talented, completely compelling Patsy Ferran, who breathes such vitality into the role of Jane Austen. So sensitively directed and produced by Aisling Walsh and Stella Merz, too, who have drawn subtly on the deeper themes in Hornby’s novel, to make a series that is as far from a simpering bonnets-and-bows costume drama as you could imagine. It’s on BBC iPlayer, by the way, though I don’t know anything about where it can be watched outside the UK. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all involved.
