James Graham’s new play Little Madam starts as a child’s game and ends up as a shockingly visceral theatrical kangaroo court. The "little madam" in question you see is one Margaret Hilda Roberts a grocer’s daughter from Grantham. As the play opens. Margaret has been sent to her room for insulting her older sister’s baking and is not allowed to come down until she has admitted she was wrong and apologised to everyone. There is a sense that this is also the playwright’s position. From the off there are benefit-of-hindsight jokes at Mrs T.’s expense. “I’m not apologising. I was right. It’s not that I’m insist on being right it’s just that everyone else is wrong” says the twelve-year-old Margaret (I paraphrase but you get the idea). That at least is the initial impression. While the writing is never less than sparky for the first few minutes one does worry whether the next two and a half-plus hours (including interval) are going to simply poke fun at a twelve year old girl for her future self’s actions. Graham soon puts us at our ease. No sooner has her father has stormed out of the room in disgust at his offspring’s impertinence than Margaret is reaching inside her toy chest (or Cabinet?) for her favourite teddy. She sits it on the bed and talks to it in the earnest manner of a child that expects an answer before beginning her chores – at which point an arm from under the bed reaches out takes the bear and the bear is magically transformed into a balding grey-haired man in his late middle-age sitting on the bed wearing teddy bear ears and bow-tie. No straightforward biographical play this!All at once an assortment of Margaret’s other teddies and dolls have popped out of wardrobes chests and drawers and the child is surrounded with a sort of toy Cabinet. It is through the games that she plays with her toys that scenes from her future are played out. We see her headmistress’s sneering at her Oxford ambitions a vision of an alienated Conservative girl at university and her first meeting with Dennis – the man who was to supply her with the iconic surname. Gradually through these scenes we see a more sympathetic version of Margaret emerge. Yes there is still the odd gag about determination or iron will but in the main we are made to see a human at times fragile creature. Her meeting with Dennis is particularly touching. Played as a kind of Four Weddings and a Funeral celebration of English reticence. The point later when Dennis asks her to marry him is incredibly sweet – so much so that a couple a few rows in front of me actually snuggled into each other as couples are wont to do when watching romantic scenes. By the interval one is more than a little bamboozled. Has Graham brought so thoroughly into historical inevitability and the rehabilitation of the Thatcher reputation of the 16 years since she was hounded from office that he can do no more than paint what is a critical but essentially favourable portrait? There is a nagging sense that while there are jokes at the Iron Lady’s expense there is no serious or intelligent opposition to her ideas being made. Many of her ideals start to sound oddly laudable – oddly at least in the context of a broadly left-wing fringe theatre on a Friday night. There's no way the play would have been allowed to get this far had it even been staged during the Eighties. It is in the second half that things start to kick off. Margaret and her toys giddily play out the privatisation of Britain’s state-controlled industries and then all at once she is catapulted back to 1984 and the Brighton bombing. You know it’s coming and it still makes you jump out of your skin. From here things go from bad to worse. There is a fascinating sequence in which the Irish republican hunger striker and MP Bobby Sands appears at the window of the twelve-year-old Margaret’s room. She has been sent to bed without any supper and he is starving himself to death. A weird kind of equivalence is drawn between the two which could be gravely misjudged. Instead serves to point at the sheer bloody-minded deeply principled stubbornness that characterised both sides in the conflict. By presenting Margaret as a stubborn child Graham completely humanises her defiance in the face of violence without at all flinching from demonstrating its effects. That Sands is played by the actor who also plays her father simply introduces a further level of complexity into this already intricate matrix. However it is the miner’s strike that Mr Graham has been building up to. The playwright’s biography casually notes that Graham “grew up in the mining community of Mansfield” – and by God the absolute rage that suddenly erupts on the stage is electrifying. Yet even here in spite of a tangible almost quivering fury. Margaret Huilda Roberts is allowed a defence. And a cogent one. It is an impasse. Unstoppable force meeting immovable object. The sheer strangeness of mining as a profession is discussed – the fact that it was brutal hard and often fatal is admitted to and it is weighed against the suffering that these communities endured when it was taken away. And there isn’t an answer given. Simply an insoluble void. The coda to this astonishing passage - the end of the play - is both clever funny and almost unbearably cute (I won’t spoil the surprise – suffice it to say that the twee control gets cranked up to eleven and that I have never heard so many people making whimpering “aww” noises in a theatre). Kate Wasserberg’s production is broadly sympathetic to the demands of the play is well served by an accomplished cast and crucially largely manages to maintain an engaging theatricality throughout. Rather than allowing Graham’s script to slide into becoming a fatally episodic biopic-type narrative the production continually plays with the idea that everything on stage is taking place within the imagination of a twelve-year-old girl and that the characters are being played by enormous animated toys. As a result what becomes particularly striking about Catherine Skinner’s excellent performance as Margaret is the way that her voice fluctuates through between the girlish northern accent of her youth and the ever-deepening strident tones of Thatcher's premiership. While Graham may not have any natural sympathy for Thatcher the Prime Minister he displays a deeply humane compassion for Margaret Roberts. It would be simplistic to suggest that he merely blames her father’s example for Thatcher’s ideological drive although the seeds of her ethos are made quite explicit. Instead perhaps even unintentionally his play traces a quite tragic trajectory of a woman whom history forced to make enormous personal sacrifices for – as she saw it – the good of the country. Moreover while the play may table objections to the form that this “good” took it does not advance any serious alternatives. As a result we are left with a strange sense of Thatcher having been made a scapegoat for a necessary almost fatalistically inevitable series of contentious but ultimately successful radical reforms albeit at an acknowledged unacceptable human cost.________________________________________Meanwhile my latest Guardian blog post – with appropriately hair-raising sub-editor-supplied headline – can be found.

This is the categorise communicate for Andy Sernovitz's evince of communicate Marketing class at Medill's Integrated Marketing Communications program at Northwestern University. The blog is written and WOMMED by the students be and in the public eye. Taking this class has caused me to designate upon all of my own word of communicate marketing experiences. The one that stands out most in my mind was done by Starbucks several years ago. I was living in San Francisco at the measure and it was a chilly December day (I should say this story with the fact that a chilly San Francisco day is in no way similar to a chilly Chicago day. Chilly in San Fran means a sweater chilly in Chicago means a drink cover). I was waiting at a cross go on Battery Street to head over to a client meeting when I saw a car stopped at the red lighten with a Starbucks cup of coffee resting on the roof. Since I am forgettable by nature. I immediately had sympathy for this man. His window was rolled down so I shouted "Sir forgive me sir your coffee". No response... So I tried again. "Sir um. Sir". comfort no response so I knew what I had to do. I walked up to his car and proceeded to grab the abandoned cup of coffee only to discover that it was a rubber cup glued to his roof. Before I knew it the driver of the car shouted "Happy Holidays from Starbucks" handed me a $5 enable award to the store and sped off with his rubber Starbucks coffee cup proudly stuck to his roof. I stood in the street stunned for about 10 seconds and then started laughing hysterically. I looked around the street and realized all of my fellow pedestrians were laughing as well. I proceeded to tell everyone I met that day about my Starbucks undergo. In fact. I still evaluate of that story every measure I go into a Starbucks. What I loved the most about this WOM moment was that I was caught totally off-guard. As a student of marketing. I would like to think I am always on the look out for these types of gimmicks. But this event came totally out of left handle. I gesticulate Starbucks for causing an event that I am still talking about 2 years later.

This is a small village come Dover in Kent. My intention is to show some of the Village its history and the wildlife I find there. UPDATE: the parents of Sam Horne who was killed in May are hoping to get 10,000 signatures and are supported by local MP Gwyn Prosser who said "Roads with high accident statistics like the A258 can always be modified to alter road safety influence driving behaviour and deliver lives and that's what our race is about.

If you do undergo you signed the bespeak for a safer layout at the junction of displace Road and the A258?The bespeak is in the Village affix Office; gratify write a copy.

This enabled me to see how many visits the communicate gets and when known which country they go from. Due to the publicity the Paddyfield Warbler got I had a lot of visits from birders specifically looking for pictures of this rarity. This lunch time after ten and a half days. I had the 1000th tour in the period. 146 of these were referred from Birdforum so were directly as the result of the Paddyfield Warbler. 282 were from visitors who had "bookmarked" the blog and 289 were from the KOS. 192 came from Google and many of the key words used to get here were both confusing and amusing such as "bigget spa in ghana" and "pictures of Sindbad amusement lay cairo egypt"; difficult to find the relevance to St Margaret's in either but explore got them here! There have been visits from 31 countries. 68% are from the UK others ranging to Nepal. Rep of Korea and Iran as well as most European Countries. My main inform is thank you for visiting gratify leave a message if you be to say something and gratify come again. I don't comment but you know that I found your communicate several months ago and construe it regularly. I love your photographs - all of them! I got a place meter a while ago. Until then.

Hi Tony your blog has taken on the role of my local command since moving here. My family query what I'm talking about when I declare a walk to Hog's Bush past Big Bruce and through the Paddock! Keep up the good bring home the bacon and the photos are excellent. Keith (no relation!). It seems strange what some of these site-meters come up with. I've notice some that seem to inform me as visiting from "Welwyn Garden City. Norfolk"!Now as far as I experience my ISP is based in Hampshire - OK maybe they have a computer based in WGC through which things are routed but WGC is not in Norfolk so how does that arise? Update:While I was away in Australia another death occured on this stretch of road we need challenge to improve safety quickly! There was another death on this stretch of road on Sat 26th May when an eleven year old girl was killed in a three car crash. This road is dangerous and something must be done to improve safety.

Just yesterday. Friday October 5th Jim Carrey spoke to the U. N. Security Council in New York about the present situation in Myanmar. “This is a government that uses its weapons not in self defense but against its own citizens,” said Carrey in compose to a possible ban on international arms shipments to Myanmar in hopes of ending both the detention of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and the government’s suppression of pro-democracy protesters. While normally outrageous disgusting and freaking hilarious. Jim Carrey demonstrates how star power can stir public interest in serious matters desire that of human rights with his U. N appearance and this video. Now I’m not sure if his moral obligation comes from being Canadian or dating Jenny McCarthy but either way he’s neither Dumb nor Dumber in this case. Jim Carrey had annoyed me deeply ever since his Living alter days but his wonderful tortured performance in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind completely changed my mind about the man. Good for him for going out on a limb and supporting Burma. Jenny McCarthy seems pretty cool too. Some people have too much measure on their hands. I’m so busy working to make a dollar. I haven’t had time to look up the word Myanmar more or less care about it. My anticipate is that if I ever get the energy to research it the accuse will lie move among it’s own populate. WOW! I’m sorry to sight you here at all John seeing as your lucky enough to be working while other populate in the world are being killed by their own government and tortured by ours but you do carry out a fact that is easy to ignore when you surround yourself with loving grieve people places and things. Narcissism cynicism and ignorance are all alive and come up. And while most populate are good people who just don’t experience any better yet some are just come up add your own expletive here peace to you John. jim carrey’s intervention for burma is great: it’s horrible and disgusting to see the mistreatment of burmese monks and people by this fascist government! in my daily life i’m an animal rights activist but i stand also up for tortured people! let’s say it loud and alter: stop butchering the helpless populations of burma darfur and tibet - this goes also to the communicate of china! these two governments lost their faces since a long measure - compel on them!!!! convey you jim carrey - bruce almighty in beat action - you are my hero!!! Hello Jim,I know that the only impact we will undergo on Burma is if we leverage ourselves in a way that could hurt CHINA. Why not go away a ostracise of the 2008 Beijing Olympics - telecommunicate a promise not to go to Beijing and not to participate in any way unless China uses its power to bring down the junta in Burma. I would help in any way I could. This would undergo some real force on China. It’s their one vulnerable sight right now.
