ok so firstly i am so incredibly grateful that everything aligned for me to see christine baranski on the stage. things irl are a bit uncertain at the moment but everything about this has felt like the universe blessing me and i do not take that for granted one bit.

in relative terms i haven’t been a fan for long but chris means everything to me because of diane lockhart and the good fight and the fandom and ofc i love her entire body of work including and especially her singing roles as well. but i never thought i would get to see her onstage.

she was born for the stage. she is commanding and captivating, and not only that, judith bliss feels like she could’ve been written for chris. there are moments when you can hear the agnes or maryann thorpe in her but truly her full range of growls and drama and sexiness and all her glorious talent is on display. and then best of all she sings a little french song. and i got to see all that??? TWICE???!!

i must say the whole cast is perfect, charles edwards is great in particular but everyone is really. the set is gorgeous and so are the costumes.

and then stagedoor. honestly it would’ve been enough just to see her on the stage but to be able to tell her where i’m from and what i do and how much i love diane lockhart was truly the cherry on top. she has boundaries and i fully support her on that so i hope that she continues to stagedoor til the end of the run because she is truly so generous and sweet and speaks to everyone (and she’s classy and elegant ofc).

i went with a friend on saturday night again with a standing ticket and that night at stagedoor she was wearing her sunflower brooch and i told her i loved it. i think this moment sent me into a complete breakdown ngl. the full circles are full circling.

when i go on holiday i like to get a perfume. i went into the penhaligons store and what was there but “a kiss of bliss”. it’s flowery and perfect and lovelyyy and i will never forget this trip.

i said goodbye to the theatre today (an appropriately rainy sendoff). there are just no words for how incredibly grateful i am for this experience 🌻💛

This past month “living” in London was a complete joy. @riddlemeright and I have never spent so much time in a place where we don’t actually live and it was what dreams are made of!

From West End openings with @oliverhenryroth & co to making new friends, @cristinaschek & @tookeadooke, getting to have dinner with old friends(!), visiting Belgium for the first time (shoutout 🍫 + 🧇), and attending the @britishartfair, it was nothing short of magical.

For now, we’re glad to be home with @its_gumbo_cat, but I’m sure it won’t be long til we’re scheming up our next adventure. 🌎

I went to a marvellous party last week, and caught Hay Fever!

Every actor was at the top of their game here, all seemed to be having a blast, and worked well with the material they were given. Act 1 was slow to start with, but once the guests arrived, it flew by.

Charlie Edwards... Poor poor Richard Greatham 🥺The constant pain etched on his face. He was trying his best, but no matter what he did, he just couldn't gel with the other characters with his social awkwardness. I adored him sm, and we love a relatable king.

Christine I found to be very entertaining. Her accent was no issue to me, not sure what people were talking about? Also has a great little moment singing to Charlie at the piano.

REG was just having a fun time playing himself, but being very good at it.

Ash Hunter surprised me! Loved his silent comedy moments.

Lucy Karczewski! Appendicitis! Her breakfast scene amused me greatly, and was also a relatable socially awkward queen, where she would cry if anything got too much for her.

The rest, Nancy Carroll, Ophelia Lovibond, Will Close, Jo McInnes, all marvellous.

Tried the stage door. First time having to wait behind a barrier with security mind. I met Christine (classy and very friendly lady, was asking every person pretty much where they had come from to see the show 🥺), REG (very quick out!), Charlie (who had a long line of people to get through with autographs, and mentioned he had to also rush off, so we couldn't chat for long. No problem!), Ophelia, Nancy, and Ash (after most of the crowds had left). I managed to ask Charlie how was playing Richard compared to playing Sandy 20 years ago, and he said he'd always wanted to play Richard, but was too young at the time. Finally got his wish!

🎭HAY FEVER: Noel Coward's "Hay Fever" is revitalised in this staging at Wyndham Theatre in London's West End, starring Christine Baranski, Richard E Grant, Charles Edwards, Nancy Carroll, Will Close, Lucy Karczewski, Jo McInnes, and Ash Hunter. Very funny bits throughout, one would even say farce. While I enjoyed the play, Coward wrote the play in the 1920s, with the plot relying entirely on upper-class British eccentricities that feel rather archaic now. Still, a fun night out seeing some favourite talent.

At circus school a couple years ago I was struggling with a trapeze move - it hinged on my ankles and my shoulders where I am hyper-mobile and injured. I was WOBBLING and SHOOK. The teacher looked at me and said -

‘What if you stopped focusing on where you’re weak and started focusing on where you are strong?’

I braced my core and my glutes and immediately locked into the move still and strong. That’s a thought I’ve carried with me every day. I’m still injured, I’m still hyper-mobile and I still carry the complexity and hardship of life honestly. But I also know my attention is my most finite commodity - and it serves me better when focused on my strengths.

So much of that strength isn’t even me - it’s my friends, my family, the people I work with in the rooms I have somehow smuggled myself into and the people I am determined to bring in with me. Nights like this I have to pinch the 8 year old Debris inside me who could only have dreamed of being in spaces like this. But tbh I think she knew how strong I was all along and I’m finally listening.

Ps Couldn’t find which photographer took this so tell me if you know @gettyimages

Pps this is at the @hayfeverplay press night - go watch it now.
