Summary

Imagine making a film set in a town where dancing is illegal. Imagine that bit being the true story element of said film. Imagine that not one of the team had ever seen 1984’s Footloose in full before this very week. SCENES, such very eighties scenes, in this week’s Rated or Dated, chosen by Offord, montaged by Bacon. Before that, Mick’s been on the Zoom with comedian Olga Koch to chat about her latest show, Prawn Cocktail, the masters she did in lockdown, which looks at parasocial relationships and how the two might come together. Hannah’s been to see Othello at The Globe’s Sam Wanamaker theatre, a new production directed by Ola Ince, and she loved it. Hannah chats to Ola about placing Othello in a police force, putting words in Shakespeare’s character’s mouths, and why she’s put a second black man onstage in a play which quite on purpose only ever has one. In Jenny Off the Blocks, Jen’s talking about allyship in football (we can all wave our scarves in celebration at CANDI Utd’s recent actions), while over in the Bush Telegraph, we’re getting up to date on who’s in charge of France and what a nutritious breakfast looks like, as well as looking at some bad maths for women.
