Not Me

**These Friday updates are best read on the web**

Apparently, everyone else has heard of it though.

I was too scared to watch Killing Eve, and I didn't know anything about Jodie Comer.

Her solo performance as Tessa in "Prima Facie" was simply astonishing, an awakening.

The West End run finished a couple of months ago, so this week, my teenage daughter and I watched it at the cinema via "National Theatre Lives".

Something has to change...

I’ve been emotionally floored by possibly the most important piece of theatre I’ve ever seen. A flawless performance by @jodiemcomer in a flawless production that tells the truth of a shamefully flawed system via Danny Mac

#PrimaFaciePlay

The play isn't something I'll share at my "Book Time For Kids" session this Saturday 20th August. Instead, I may talk about my latest Kindle purchase: The Singing Bowl by David Stokes, who I recently met in an interview (more about my new job soon).

Climate change is wreaking havoc on Thera, a sister planet to Earth. A novice monk from Thera mistakes two teenagers for climate experts at a protest in London, and assumes they are the chosen ones from the prophecy he has been selected to fulfil. He takes them to his planet to solve the greatest problem of our time - global warming.
