6 h. ago ‘I spoke complete twaddle for four minutes’: Meera Syal, Larry Lamb and more on the terror of stage fright

Forget Halloween! Real scares can happen to actors any night of the year. Big name actors, including Zachary Hart and Harmony Rose-Bremner, recall their worst moments – and how they overcame their fearsDerek Jacobi had a bout of it during a world tour of Hamlet. Bill Nighy wrestled with it in the run-up to The Vertical Hour opening on Broadway. Juliet Stevenson has likened it to “a disease”. It has even caused some to take flight: Stephen Fry disappeared from Cell Mates, while Lenny Henry left the stage during Educating Rita. “I’ve completely gone,” he said – although he did return to finish the show.Stage fright can cause the shakes but it can also trigger a complete physical freeze-up, to say nothing of a total verbal drying up – all right under the spotlight. So how and why does it take grip? Can it be overcome? And what does it feel like to be seized by the actor’s nightmare? Continue reading...

8 h. ago Football Daily | Dermot Desmond fires up his flamethrower as Rodgers resigns

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!As splits go, Monday night’s parting of Brendan Rodgers and Celtic was as bitter and spectacular as any rock band have managed. And unlike Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses and the Gallaghers, there will be no reunion tour. Think The Smiths, with attendant wordy statements to reflect just how severed the alliance is. Rodgers’ departure was initially sold as him stepping away. “Celtic Football Club can confirm that football manager Brendan Rodgers has today tendered his resignation,” droned a club statement. “The Club appreciates Brendan’s contribution to Celtic during his two very successful periods at the Club.”Watching the current success of my adopted fitba club Hearts (yesterday’s Football Daily), my mind immediately turns to Scott Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit/Owl John/Mastersystem fame and now tragically seven years deceased. A lifelong Hearts fan, he even recorded, with Frightened Rabbit, his own version of Hector Nicol’s ‘The Hear...

9 h. ago Strapped for cash: why Francis Ford Coppola is flogging his watches

Megalopolis’s grand self-funded folly has left the director at least $85m out of pocket, so he needs a helping handThe bad news for Francis Ford Coppola is that he made Megalopolis at exactly the wrong time. A long, pretentious, semi-coherent arthouse film about progress through architecture, starring Jon Voight’s erection and a man who can stop time for no apparent reason, was probably always going to struggle to make money.But to make it for over $100m of his own money and release it in 2024, in an age where the bulk of the public have largely given up on visiting the cinema, was disastrous. Its box office gross, in the end, was just $14.4m. For comparison, that puts it roughly in line with the gross of a French language biopic about Charles Aznavour released the same year. But that film cost four times less, didn’t open in any English-speaking countries and wasn’t about the proposed construction of a glowing golden city. Continue reading...
