Five Things #193

This week’s Five Things…

  1. The National Theatre is streaming a different production every week during the lockdown. This week's showing was Frankenstein starring Benedict Cumberbatch, directed by Danny Boyle. There are two different performances streaming, one with Cumberbatch as the creature and the other with him as Frankenstein. If you're going to watch only one go with this one. You have until Thursday to watch it! — Frankenstein with Benedict Cumberbatch as the creature

  2. A great conversation between Ezra Klein and Madeline Miller, author of Circe. They talk about Greek myths, writing, translating amongst other things — Madeline Miller on myth, nostalgia, and how power corrupts

  3. Has this much good advice ever appeared in one place before? — 68 Bits of Unsolicited Advice

  4. If you want to support musicians during the Covid-19 crisis a great way to do that is buy buying their music and merch on Bandcamp. They are waiving their revenue share for sales on the first Friday of the month, so put 5th June in your calendars! — Support Artists Impacted By the Covid-19 Pandemic

  5. The TV adaption of Sally Rooney's Normal People is very good. This made me very happy as I loved the book. — Normal People on BBC iPlayer
