Honours, parties and the case for jailing Brian Blessed

From Nick Cage to De Niro

No country for old drunk actors?

Romeo finds himself overcome by a sense of utter hopelessness

Plus-sized actors and theatres rattling the begging bowl

Once a habit that cut across class, smoking is now masochistic comfort for the dispossessed

Racism is perfectly acceptable so long as it’s the fashionable type

Stars of the stage are more likely to feature in the Honours list than the people who write their scripts
