Simply the greatest actor of stage and screen I ever worked with. I met him at the very start of my career on The Singing Detective and many many times throughout. The true highlight and honour was filming Beckett’s Endgame with him. He was the funniest of men, the finest storyteller, and so very kind and generous. If you only know him as Dumbledore then do yourself a favour and pay your respects by seeking out his other work. You will be the richer for it. He was in my opinion the giant of them all. Goodnight Michael, I feel beyond privileged to have known and loved you.
A very happy birthday to my Dad who’s looking pretty good for 95. But then you’d never believe I’m 60. Good genes.
This clip has been brought to my attention and I would just like to state for the record that I am not afraid of Millie Bobby Brown, and for her to claim otherwise does great damage to my tough guy image. She will be hearing from my legal team (if she doesn’t mind)
Have you noticed?
Halloween innit? So….. I’ll post something pink and fluffy tomorrow
Hermine and I hanging out with strange unfriendly looking little bloke sculpted by dear old bearded painter pal @stuartpearsonwright at his new show at @flowersgallery Yes that’s right he’s some sort of genius and it’s enough to make you sick with envy. I can draw quite a decent fish but not without sticking my tongue out and breathing through my nose. Even then then I’ve never been asked to exhibit any of my fish.
The exhibition is on till November 25th. Go and have your picture taken with a strange unfriendly looking little bloke. He won’t mind.

If you love football but you’re not into theatre, you’ll love Dear England. If you love theatre but you’re not into football, you’ll love Dear England. If you love football and theatre, you’re gonna go bonkers. If you hate theatre and football stay at home and bite your toenails.

Untitled F*ck M*ss S**gon Play at @youngvictheatre with my pal from the diner @lourdes.faberes. Wow! Hilarious, genuinely unique, wonderfully unpredictable, provocative, slick, chaotic, mind bogglingly bonkers, crazily entertaining, surprisingly serious, incendiary, revolutionary, inspirational and joyful. Also hilarious.
Another night at the theatre with three of the coolest people I’ve worked with in the past few years, @lourdes.faberes @sarahniles_ @leila_farzad_official who all turn out to be best friends with each other.

Death of England – Closing Time is the third instalment of an amazing trilogy, written by @clint_dyer_ and Roy Williams, directed by Clint. Saw it last night on only its third preview and it’s the best one yet. Astonishing performances from @hayzsquires and @msjomartin . Haven’t stopped thinking about it. Full disclosure: Clint is one of my oldest and dearest friends, but that doesn’t mean I can’t tell you he’s one of the most talented figures in today’s theatre. He and Roy have achieved something extraordinary with these three plays. I have never met Hayley or Jo, but I’m telling you these performances are outstanding. Honoured to have witnessed it. That’s it. Stop reading this and work out a way you can get to London to see it at the
