Snow white and the seven dwarfs

Hamlet Old Vic, London SE1 M.A.D. Bush, London W12 Coyote on a Fence Duchess, London WC2 He's 23, a year out of Rada and the youngest person ever to play Hamlet at the Old Vic. Ben Whishaw is a true discovery. He's a verse speaker who can make Shakespeare's lines sound as if they were the most natural and effective way to examine a sinewy thought. He moves so lightly that you feel he half-wants not to be, even before he says so. The thought of Hamlet in a beanie may make your blood run cold, but the first sight of this spindly waif in Trevor Nunn's modern-dress production leaves an indelible impression, and a certainty that a youthful Hamlet can take the part into a different register. Dwarfed by John Gunter's design of grim, towering, parking-lot-grey, Whishaw comes on as completely vulnerable and thoroughly adolescent, holding himself apart from everything around him and yet disturbed by it all. He can't stop wringing his hands; he flops down as if it were too … [Read more...] about A Dane to remember

close Video Bob Nardelli: The fact-checkers took a holiday during Biden speech XLR-8 LLC Founder & CEO Bob Nardelli reacts to Biden touting economic success as corporations are laying off more employees President Biden is facing pushback from fact-checkers over a recent speech he delivered in Virginia regarding the economic progress his administration has made during his tenure in the White House. Speaking at the Steamfitters Local 602 in Springfield on Thursday, Biden made multiple claims about the current state of the economy that have fact-checkers — from both CNN and the House Ways and Means Committee — sounding the alarm. Following his remarks, CNN reporter Daniel Dale, who works to fact-check political claims for the outlet, accused Biden of making "false and misleading claims." "Some of Biden’s claims in the speech were false, misleading or lacking critical context, though others were correct," Dale wrote in a piece … [Read more...] about Fact-checkers target Biden over ‘false and misleading’ statements about the economy

When we’re discussing the quarterback position with the Jets, which we almost always are, who’s going and who might be coming and which mistake they might be about to make with one in the draft, it is always best to reference the wisdom of Larry David, lifelong Jets fan, on this subject: “They would have found a way to screw up Mahomes.” Now comes the hot conversation about Aaron Rodgers, No. 12 of the Packers, who may really be leaving Green Bay this time, and whether or not the Jets should pay a king’s ransom, in money and draft choices, to get him, even though he’s 39. Well, of course they should, because Rodgers, even at 39, would be the best they’ve ever had, and that includes Joe Namath, their No. 12, the iconic Hall of Fame quarterback who won them their one and only Super Bowl, but who also threw more career interceptions than touchdown passes. Joe didn’t come close to having the kind of seasons that Rodgers has had in Green Bay. No Jets quarterback ever did, including … [Read more...] about Mike Lupica: If Aaron Rodgers leaves the Packers, the Jets need to be all in

AT the corner of two rubbish-strewn streets, which are dotted with boarded-up houses, sits a two-bedroom apartment which is currently on sale for just £1,000. Locals will tell you it's overpriced.

According to new figures from estate agency Zoopla, the average monthly rent being paid by tenants in the town is just £496, placing it just ahead of Burnley , Lancs, at £504 and East Ayrshire in Scotland at £512.
