Another episode of the James Spader Fan Club!
This week we chatted with ETAL theatre’s creative director Arthur Loades about the 1998 film Curtain Call, staring Maggie Smith, Michael Caine and (you guessed it!) James Spader - surely with a cast this stacked the film is good? Only one way to find out! Tune in at the link in my bio!

"I don't know why I do any of this, except for maybe because I can."

I love this play. I love these people. I have a love/hate relationship with treadmills.

@jolyon_benson @jackvmoran @moorefrombeth @miabridgytech @jenniferrrroberts and everyone who helped make this mad show possible, THANK YOU 💙

★★★★★ @northwestenduk

Eclair-Powell’s unflinching script, which remains eloquent and expertly avoids melodrama, is delivered flawlessly through Arthur Loades, and assistant director Beth Moore, slick and pacey direction of
two superb actors.
