Old pals Ewan McGregor and Michael Grandage prepare for their new play, My Master Builder, by chuckling about everything that could go wrong and hasFor today’s Observer New Review I had the not-exactly-onerous assignment of spending an hour with the actor Ewan McGregor and director Michael Grandage, as they prepared to put on a new play, My Master Builder, in London’s West End. The two men go way back, and mostly they were cracking each other up with knockabout old stories – much of which there wasn’t room for in my article. McGregor recalled one of his first roles on stage, as Orlando in As You Like It, and how when Simon Callow – multiple Olivier and Bafta award winner – played the part in 1979, he walked out on stage at the National Theatre only to promptly forget the first line of the play.“If you’re a woman and you’re about to have a baby, everybody tells you nightmare stories about childbirth,” said McGregor. “And when you’re an actor about to do a play, everybody tells you te...

2 w. ago Haaland and Marmoush fire Manchester City to comeback win at Bournemouth

Manchester City continue to dream of a silver-lined finish to an underwhelming season. It was a day when Bournemouth were determined to make history by reaching a first semi-final in any major competition and their hopes were high at half-time. Not only had Kepa Arrizabalaga saved an Erling Haaland penalty, they were in front thanks to Evanilson’s scrambled finish.City were on the canvas. They would clamber up in fine style. Haaland had missed other chances and he would be forced off with an injury. But before he went, he had scored the equaliser. The match-winner would be his replacement. Omar Marmoush had been on the field for a matter of minutes and his first involvement was to take a touch before sweeping past Kepa. Continue reading...
