1 week ago The human stain remover: what Britain’s greatest extreme cleaner learned from 25 years on the job | Tom Lamont

From murder scenes to whale blubber, Ben Giles has seen it – and cleaned it – all. In their stickiest hours, people rely on him to restore orderWhen the entrance to a theatre in London’s West End was discovered to be smeared with blood and faeces one day in March, a distress call went out to the headquarters of Ben Giles, a 49-year-old veteran of the extreme clean, who is based in Cardigan in Wales. Decades earlier, as a young know-nothing, hired by police to clean vehicles, Giles laboured for hours to remove fingerprint dust from the interior of a stolen car – work that now, with the experience of innumerable litter-dashed, liquid-sodden, gunge-roped scenes, would take him about 30 minutes. Job by job, he figured out when to scrape or sand, soak or fog, preserve or dispose. Boilersuited and plastic booted, Giles learned how to eliminate most evidence of spillages, collisions, protests, haemorrhages, severings, explosions, fires and floods, becoming a self-taught stain savant, a wal...

3 w. ago High Noon heads for the West End as Billy Crudup takes on Gary Cooper role

The Tony award-winning actor will play the marshal in a London stage adaptation of the 1952 western that won Cooper an OscarBilly Crudup is to take on the role that won Gary Cooper an Oscar in a new stage adaptation of the 1952 western High Noon. Based on Carl Foreman’s screenplay, the production will receive its world premiere at the Harold Pinter theatre in London in December, providing a nail-biting alternative to Theatreland’s jollier festive fare.High Noon, once voted the greatest western ever made, unfolds in real time counting down to the noon arrival of a train in the town of Hadleyville in New Mexico. In the film, Cooper plays Will Kane, a newly married marshal on the brink of retirement, who hears that an outlaw is heading to town seeking vengeance. The drama explores the divide between personal concerns and public duty, not just through the marshal’s dilemma but also through the characters of his wife, Amy, and the townspeople whose support he seeks.

3 w. ago Coldwater review – Andrew Lincoln’s wild Scottish thriller is top quality nonsense

The Walking Dead star plays a total berk who stumbles into a terrifying confrontation in the woods. It’s like Deliverance in the HighlandsAndrew Lincoln has been Rick Grimes – the leader of a group of survivors of a zombie plague in Frank Darabont’s at first mesmeric and then mesmerically dull post-apocalyptic series The Walking Dead – for 15 years. Off and on (and in a spin-off) but mostly on. Now, at last, he is free. He’s had a shower, a haircut and – thank God – cleared his throat after a decade and a half of rattling phlegmily through increasingly ropey scripts and pretending to care about his son Carl, and is appearing on stage in The Lady from the Sea at the Bridge theatre, London and on our screens in the fairly bananas thriller Coldwater.You can see what attracted Lincoln to the part. John is the anti-Grimes. We meet him (once the obligatory opening scene of the character covered in blood and running through some woods is over and we’ve flashed back to “Two months earlier”)...

3 w. ago ‘I haven’t even googled how to write a play!’: Nima Taleghani bringing rap to the National Theatre

The Heartstopper star’s exhilarating reboot of Euripides is the first debut play to grace the hallowed Olivier stage – but it nearly didn’t happen. ‘Its not in my bones,’ he saysNima Taleghani seems astonished that I know anything about him. This is the man who plays Mr Farouk, quite beautifully, in the phenomenally successful Netflix series Heartstopper. He’s an established stage actor and has featured in a number of director Jamie Lloyd’s recent blockbuster theatre productions, from memorable turns in Lloyd’s bold new versions of Cyrano de Bergerac and Romeo and Juliet – where Taleghani’s skill as a rap artist helped him shine in the director’s stripped-back, miked-up productions.This month, Taleghani will be the very first playwright to have a debut play staged on the vast Olivier stage at London’s National Theatre. To top it all off, the production – a ferociously original, rap-infused take on Euripides’ Greek tragedy The Bacchae – will open Indhu Rubasingham’s inaugural season ...
