In lieu of an update, something MUCH better.

Met with my supervisor yesterday and arguably survived. Will post about it later.

More importantly, however, for anyone who likes Jacobean drama, or John Webster, or Jonathan Slinger, or anything that is good and wonderful in this world.

BBC Radio 3 did an amazing Duchess of Malfi on Sunday night.

Sophie Okonedo plays the title role, and she is just marvellous. As is the rest of the cast, including Slinger, who is terrifying as Ferdinand, and Bertie Carvel as a fantastically conflicted Bosola.

It's available online for the rest of the week.

You know you cannot resist.

I think it's the video that they're weird about, because it takes up more bandwidth -- I have the same problem accessing US-based video here.
