Now that it’s been a week since I've watched Roald Dahl's Matilda: The Musical, here are all my thoughts (as someone who loves the musical and played Bruce once):
THE BABIES SINGING IN THE OPENING NUMBER WAS THE CUTEST SHIT I'VE EVER SEEN
The cast was INCREDIBLE!! Emma Thompson was terrifying! Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough were hilarious! Lashana Lynch was so endearing! AND I WANNA SEE ALISHA WEIR IN MORE STUFF BECAUSE SHE ATE IT UP
I want to give credit to the makeup team for Trunchbull's makeup because even though I knew it was Emma Thompson, they did such a good job of realistically transforming her into someone else. Her appearance wasn't a joke in the same way that it is in the musical. Her character in the stage version is definitely pretty misogynistic and transphobic because they play into her masculinity by having a man play her. Here, it's just a way of adding to her character, but it isn't what makes her scary.
All of the changes worked so well in adapting it for the screen. It wasn't just a copy-paste (couch cough everybody's talking about jamie) Examples of the changes that really worked:
Getting rid of Michael Wormwood. It makes sense since the Wormwoods clearly hate kids.
Giving Lavender a pet newt (very Chekhov's Guncore)
Including telekinesis throughout the whole story instead of just showing it a few times in the 3rd act. This includes Nigel asking Matilda if she has TK, Matilda messing with the doors in the cake scene, exploding the chokey, THE FUCKING CHAINS
Having the Spain news earlier in the story, causing a catalyst of events. Matilda is enraged, she sings I'm Here, she explodes the chokey (which was BONE-CHILLING), it gives Trunchbull a reason to make more chokies, and now Matilda is so emotional that she can take her powers to the extreme with the chalkboard and the chains and throwing Trunchbull out the window. All of this gave much better pacing in the story and made it all connected.
Having more scenes outside of the classroom (the cake scene and The Smell of Rebellion) and putting Ms. Phelps' library in her car. It's quirky and also gives them an excuse to put the storytelling scenes in pretty locations.
Giving Ms Honey a bike while her co-worker had a car, foreshadowing her being poor.
Putting Matilda's bedroom in the attic made so much sense because the Wormwoods obviously did the bare minimum for their child.
The students' drawings in Ms Honey's cottage
SO MANY FANTASY SEQUENCES! BRUCE!! WHEN I GROW UP!!! QUIET!!!!
All of the kids were so adorable (and ridiculously talented!)
The storytelling sequences!!! Interweaving it with the real world worked so well, like Matilda making it a real story for school but also clearly using it to cope. And putting them in a real circus made me more empathy for the Honeys, which lacked in the stage version because it always felt very thrown-in to me. Like, I genuinely got nervous during the stunt with the dynamite. It also made "I'm Here" even more emotional. Carl Spencer was amazing as Magnus and I teared up a bit. Also the parallels of I'm Here vs My House, helping Matilda put the pieces together.
The new song wasn't my favorite but it was a really nice finishing touch. Even though the circus at the school didn't logically make sense it was so fun
The only things I disliked: I wanted more of the already incredible stuff. More of the Wormwoods, who were absolutely hilarious, especially Mrs Wormwood. I really missed "Loud" (though removing it helped with the pacing). I wanted a bit more of Bruce (they didn’t give him the high note in Revolting Children 😭), and I would've liked Ms Honey to be a bit more affectionate with Matilda.
Anywho I want snort this movie like cocaine

Just found out they made a movie version of Matilda the Musical. As someone who was so obsessed at age 12 that I can still remember most of the lyrics to the songs at age 19, I've decided to chronicle my thoughts as I watch. (NOTE: anytime I mention "the OG" I am referring to the broadway musical, not the book)
I thought the "I can be a solider and shoot you in the face" line was very fun and original. Can't believe they sanitized it and we're not even 3 minutes in.
I am enjoying the "Miracle" segment so far. It's giving music video vibes. (but also, Disney just straight up added the Hamilton stage performance to their streaming service, and I'm already wishing they did that. The show was really fun!)
I thought part of Mrs. Wormwood's denial could've been more convincing if she wasn't obviously pregnant (admittedly they didn't do that in the original either--it's too bad; she should've been in really good shape to still almost make her dancing competition)
They cut Ruuuuuuudolpho the dancer how could they
Library bus is fun but real actual libraries are also great. Mrs. Phelps seems nice so far.
Mr. Wormwood being worried about debt actually makes more sense for him to be doing all his shady stuff.
Miss. Honey seems like she's doing her best.
I take it back the dad's even more of an ass in this--I don't remember him setting her up and then GLOATING ABOUT IT
I liked "Naughty" except for the roof bit; Matila's supposed to be smart, not climbing all over the exterior of her house like an idiot. (note: Movie Matilda is also a bit of a dumbass)
Since Mr. Wormwood is going on about the escapologist, does that mean we're getting less of Mrs. Phelps?--never mind
So is the Trunchbull not the acrobat's sister in this one?
They changed some of the story--she doesn't try to do the *circus announcer voice* "it is the greatest feat EVER known to man"
Kiddo knows that turnabout is fair play
Isaac the lizard might be the best addition to the story (we will see)
"School Song" is simultaneously most similar and most different from the musical and I didn't like it at first (I thought the school gate with the letter blocks was the coolest thing) the way they managed to incorporate a lot of stuff from the original
Nigel panicking about advanced math (relative to himself) is very relatable
They're all so tinyyyyyyyy when you're 12 you don't notice as much
Thinking she meant finish instead of erase, omg kiddo
That booklist, holy crap. I was a reading addict in HS and now the most I read is sections of my textbooks (I love STEM but it's so much workkkkk)
They cut all of "Pathetic" except the last line (don't be pathetic, netflix)
OMG it's the Hammer song (can't remember the official name right now D: oh no) The actress doesn't make the song hit the same way as the OG actress. The recording part is funny though
Honestly the bits of Miss. Honey's voice from the hammer song makes me even more disappointed they didn't include "Pathetic" she sounds good
The dad had a fun song making fun of authors and also the audience; it doesn't lend itself well to movie adaptation but it was funny as hell.
Pretty sure the book that was ripped up in all the previous adaptations was Moby Dick
The dad is even crazier business-wise in this and in the OG he cheated the Russian mafia
"Telekinipsis" you precious child
Wait omfg they brought back Hortensia
I liked "Chokey"
Narcolepsy was kept yay
Poor Amanda
OOOOOOOO evil stepsister (wait was that the original plot anyway?)
It was indeed not the OG plot I now remember "Forgotten by everyone except... the acrobat's sister" was the line
Mrs. Phelps I love you omg
The kid constantly trying telekinesis is so cute
The hug was interrupted how could she
Bruce I hope you get your song
"a pact with Satan and stolen my cake" she's so extra
Yay he got his song!
Where did she even get a teaching certification
"When I Grow Up" had no lyrics changed and yet the vibes were entirely different. I liked the adult ensemble coming in and all the swings and stuff in the OG. Again, Miss. Honey has a great voice and I'm disappointed they cut "Pathetic"
The story sequence was good, but it would've been better if they kept the fire extinguisher foam bit.
Mrs. Phelps ready to call CPS on Matilda's nonexistent aunt
The dad was a comedy figure in the OG why is he like this
The story is back yay and I like that she's putting herself in the daughter's place (we know it's Miss. Honey but she doesn't)
"Don't Cry" was excellent
It's fun that everyone thinks Matilda is a hero
"Smell of Rebellion" is more solid than "Throw the Hammer"
Gym is apparently the hell class
Zeke was a dwarf I think why is he a parrot now???
OMG the telekinesis boy was Eric Ink
I liked this version of "Quiet" but thinking about it now, 90% sure it's called dissociation, kiddo
"My House" was really nice but I feel like the actress was a bit breathy at first; she did better when the song let her push more. (again, she'd be really good with the song "Pathetic" (open the door))
Chokey is supposed to be a tiny closet, not an outhouse
Oh good, they kept the mafia that was a good subplot
*rebels* [insert 50 chokeys here]
THEY CUT REVOLTING CHILDREN THE RATING IS GOING DOWN
WAIT NO NEVERMIND
I like that Hortensia got to be the deuteragonist in the song initially written for her. However, the song wasn't quite as good as the OG version.
The song Miss. Honey sings after the parents drive away I'm 90% sure is movie-musical-only
Isaac deserves the best life I'm glad that Lavender got her bestie back
THE CREDITS VERSION IS THE OFFICIAL BROADWAY CAST RECORDING OF WHEN I GROW UP I KNOW THIS SONG (sidenote, I am dancing in my dorm room at 12:25 am and having the time of my life)
Final rating 6.5 to 7 out of 10. Solid, would recommend, but the stage musical is still better. Would listen to my CD of the show rather than watch again.
((I would like to specify that my family IS NOT RICH. There's this option on Broadway that you put your name in a raffle for a show that day (I think? again, I was 12) and if you win the tickets (which are like the last few seats in the theater) are much cheaper. If you are in NYC and you have this option, 10/10 would recommend))

Looking for:
Aladdin w/ Shoba Narayan as Jasmine
Six Australian tour swing shows
Six w/ any interesting cast
The BFG with Lara or Madeleine as Sophie
Annie Broadway and National Tour audios from 1997-98 era (I know these exist in digital form!)
Les Miserables original Broadway production and 3rd National Tour - ANY, but particularly 1996-98.
Fun Home Broadway w/ Carly Gold, Presley Ryan or Maya Grace Fischbein as Small Alison
Fun Home w/ Nicole van Giesing as Alison or Helen
Fun Home Vancouver audio
Fun Home Toronto audio
Annie tour w/ Sydney Shuck as Annie
Les Miserables w/ Isabelle Methven or any Matilda alum (any production) as Young Cosette (esp. seeking Matilda Shapland) or Gavroche
Les Miserables Toronto audios
Hamilton w/ Betsy Struxness as Angelica (if this exists)
Hamilton w/ Julia K. Harriman (any role, especially interested in Eliza)
Hamilton LA w/ Joanna Jones as Eliza
Frozen w/ any Matilda alum as Little Anna/Elsa

Once w/ Erikka Walsh as Girl (if this even exists)
School of Rock w/ Sofia Roma Rubino as Summer
Annie w/ Carla Dixon or Isabelle Methven as Annie
Anastasia w/ McKayla Twiggs as Young Anastasia
Beetlejuice w/ any interesting cast
Live drama audios:
The Ferryman, Broadway 06/22/19 (there’s some conflicting information about the cast here; one listing has Willow McCarthy as Mercy and Bella May Mordus as Honor; another listing has Matilda Lawler as Honor with no credit for Mercy. The confusion may come from the fact that there’s a recording of the matinee the following day as well, which has Bella as Honor. The Willow/Bella cast list seems more accurate overall - the other lists Rob Malone as Oisin when Rob had left months prior - but Matilda Lawler seems more likely to be Honor in the 6/22 recording, I think. The seemingly more reliable listing has no information on who plays Cait Carney, but the other lists her as the regular actress at the time, Holley Fain, which seems likely.) - Brian d’Arcy James (Quinn Carney), Holley Fain (? Caitlin Carney), Emily Bergl (Mary Carney), Shuler Hensley (Tom Kettle), Fionnula Flanagan (Aunt Maggie Far Away), Ann McDonough (Aunt Patricia Carney), Fred Applegate (Uncle Patrick Carney), Ethan Dubin (Oisin Carney), Julia Nightingale (Shena Carney), Sean Delaney (Michael Carney), Collin Kelly-Sordelet (JJ Carney), Brooklyn Shuck (Nunu Carney), Willow McCarthy (? Mercy Carney), Matilda Lawler (? Honor Carney), Jack diFalco (Shane Corcoran), Terence Keeley (Diarmaid Corcoran), Michael Quinton McArthur (Declan Corcoran), Charles Dale (Father Horrigan), Ralph Brown* (Muldoon), Graham Winton (Frank Magennis)
Puffs, off-Broadway 8/1/19 (my master; this show is a straight play, so I have no idea why I recorded it, but the show is cute as fuck) - Zac Moon (Wayne), Sonia Mena (Megan), Reginald Keith Jackson (Oliver), Keith Rubin (Cedric Diggory), Ryan Wesley Stinnett (Narrator), Alex Haynes (J. Finch), Anna Dart (Hannah Abbott/others), Madeleine Bundy (Susan Bones/Harry Potter/Myrtle), Criena House* (Leanne/Helga Hufflepuff/Ginny Weasley), Stephen Stout (Ernie Mac)
Looking for:
The Ferryman audio recording with Ava Briglia as Mercy (I actually saw the show with her and failed to think to record it; I rarely do with dramas but I wish I had.) or Bella May Mordus as Mercy or Honor. Also wouldn’t mind one that has Holley Fain confirmed as Cait Carney.
The Children’s Hour 2011 w/ Keira Knightley and Elisabeth Moss (I’d murder someone for a video of this but I don’t think there is one)
I don’t often trade video for video since I don’t really collect videos (nowhere to store them; hard drives fill up fast and links die off rapidly; so as much as I like getting them, their existence in my life is often impermanent), but video means free choice of anything on my audio list (however many you trade per video), plus however many of my audio masters as you may want. I don’t trade audios gifted to me (personal policy, I don’t want to be exploitative of people’s generosity, unless given explicit permission); however I will point you in the master’s direction if I know who they are. If you’re interested in a master of mine and don’t have anything I want, tbh I’ll probably just give it to you, so just ask, but I don’t gift other peoples’ audios without their express permission. Masters are listed when known.
Videos I do have:
Frozen (Broadway, May 2018 - Caissie Levy, Patti Murin, Mimi Ryder, Zoe Glick)
Les Miserables West End - September 19, 2013
Mamma Mia! - Broadway 2012/12/21
Hamilton (8.12.17) (1NT Los Angeles)
DEH - 11/2016
Waitress 6/14/16
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (04.20.17) (Broadway)
Fun Home Broadway 20-07-2016
Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 Broadway 8.13.17
Hair - Off-Broadway - July 9, 2008
Hair 04/09/10 West End
Hands on a Hardbody bway 4-10-2013
Hands on a Hardbody - La Jolla Playhouse, California -- June 2, 2012
2019 Jan 20 · School of Rock · Broadway (closing)
The following Matilda videos: Tori Feinstein, Aviva Winick, Lily Brooks O’Briant, Gabby Gutierrez
Seeking video of Allison Case in Mamma Mia! (I don’t think video exists of Allison, but I’ve found stranger things out there)
Equus with Daniel Radcliffe (I’ve seen a few brief clips taken for publicity and his performance is absolutely breathtaking) (I’d love a decent quality one but I think the only one out there is the one we all know, and I’ll take that. I’m glad ANYTHING of it exists.)
any videos of Deanna Doyle as Meg Giry
Fly By Night vid (I know one exists but it’s unknown as to whether or not it was ever released in any capacity)
Oklahoma w/ Ali Stroker (again, one was filmed but release status is unknown)
Would also love to find a video of The Ferryman with the replacement cast, but don’t think there’s one out there.
Looking for replacement links for JLP with Lauren Patten, Waitress with Alison Luff, Hamilton 12/26/16 and the Broadway revival of Hair 03/15/09

Obey Me - Dub Voices HC
Here me out, this has been rolling around in my head for a while and need to get it all out there. I even cited some sources. I’m i n v e s t e d.
•Lucifer - J. Michael Tatum
~examples: Sebastian Michaelis (Black Butler), Kyoya Ootori (Ouran High School Host Club), Erwin Smith (Attack On Titan)
https://youtu.be/Yj-znysjcys (Do I really need to specify? *sigh* Sebastian Michaelis, that is all)
youtube
•Mammon - Jerry Jewel
~examples: Kyo Sohma (Fruits Basket), Russia (Hetalia), Viktor Nikiforov (Yuri!! On Ice)
https://youtu.be/7cYmb0p6-ns (Best one I could find, honestly I can only picture Mammon with Kyo’s voice in English)
youtube
•Leviathan - Christopher Bevins
~examples: Hanta Sero (My Hero Academia), Yasuhiro Hagakure (Danganrompa), Japan (Hetalia)
https://youtu.be/WRqclKFJ17E (Hear me out on this one, Levi is just Japan without the Japanese accent)
youtube
•Satan - Brandon McInnis
~examples: Mirai Sasoki/Sir Nighteye (My Hero Academia), Patrick Phelps (Black Butler: Book of Murder), Sohnosuke Izoyoi (Danganrompa 3)
https://youtu.be/FhkKHXJAO_c (Specifically Nighteye’s voice here like DAMN)
youtube
•Asmodeus - Todd Haberkorn
~examples: Italy (Hetalia), Death the Kid (Soul Eater), Hikaru Hitachiin (Ouran High School Host Club)
https://youtu.be/IuYZXvibPUI (A ~classique~, honestly to really get the Asmo feel of his voice, you have to watch Hikaru [specifically the way he speaks to Kaoru, in the fake twincest moments] or Italy when he finds pretty ladies)
youtube
•Beelzebub - Travis Willingham
~examples: Colonel Roy Mustang (Full Metal Alchemist/Brotherhood), Takashi Morinozuka (Ouran High School Host Club), Cell (Dragon Ball Universe)
https://youtu.be/c-cpbRn1AfE (Listen, I’m no coward. I will tell you I picked this voice actor specifically because almost every character he’s voiced, I have a crush on. And Beel should be no exception)
youtube
•Belphegor - Austin Tindle
~examples: Ken Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul), Karma Akabane (Assassination Classroom), Marco Bodt (Attack On Titan)
https://youtu.be/0dOBcQN10YY (Ken Kaneli immediately popped in to my head for Belphie because not only could he be soft spoken and also scary as hell, but listen to how much of a little shit Karma can be; that’s straight Belphie)
youtube
•Diavolo - Christopher Sabat
~examples: Yagi Toshinori/All Might (My Hero Academia), Vageta (Dragon Ball Universe), Ayame Sohma (Fruits Basket)
https://youtu.be/JXU6v4ri1Zg (The true voice of an old man trying to stay hip with the kids *chefs kiss*)
youtube
•Barbatos - Benjamin Diskin
~examples: Ban (Seven Deadly Sins), Joseph Joestar (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, season 2), Sai (Naruto)
https://youtu.be/godLNT6HypI (He’s also Nigel Uno from Kids Next Door and I can’t stop hearing Numbah One in all these characters now)
•Solomon - Eric Vale
~examples: Yuki Sohma (Fruits Basket), Tomura Shigaraki (My Hero Academia), Kisumi Shigino (Free!)
https://youtu.be/yDzZfahnu3Q (Definitely more of a Yuki vibe until he does some shady shit and then you get a splash of Shigaraki)
•Simeon - Micah Solusod
~examples: Tsunagu Hakamata/Best Jeanist (My Hero Academia), Yuno (Black Clover), Soul Evans (Soul Eater)
https://youtu.be/2muiy5SRxs8 (Just like, all the times his characters are soft bois™, that’s Simeon talking)
•Luke - Vic Mignogna
~examples: Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist/Brotherhood), Tamaki Suoh (Ouran High School Host Club), Broly (Dragon Ball Universe)
https://youtu.be/bvpJjbphJWQ (SPOILER WARNING: if you haven’t watched Fullmetal Alchemist [Brotherhood or otherwise], just listen to the first like 30 seconds or so, the way he does Ed’s kid voice is so Luke. I figured Japan picked a male actor to play Luke, so even though his character could be dubbed by a woman and have an equally as amazing performance, if I had to pick a male kid voice, young Ed hits the nail on the head)
[Side note, I would NOT be mad if Luke was played by Maxey Whitehead, who plays Alphonse Elric in FMA: Brotherhood, AND Crona from Soul eater. She would also make an amazing Luke]

New British TV Series for 2021: BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky Dramas and More
https://ift.tt/2Cy03zW
Among the detective dramas and high-stakes thrillers due to arrive on British television in the next year or so, there are a clutch of sci-fi, supernatural and horror shows also coming our way. They include Sky One’s Intergalactic – the story of a wrongly imprisoned galactic pilot who breaks out of space jail with a gang of other high-security female prisoners – and Netflix’s fantasy novel adaptations Half Bad, Cuckoo Song, Lockwood & Co.,and The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle – respectively, tales of witches, supernatural pacts, ghost-hunters, and a woman who jumps between bodies in her quest to solve a murder mystery. Coming to terrestrial TV, there’s Life After Life and The Three, stories about living multiple versions of the same life, and the miraculous child survivors of a mysterious plane crash.
On top of that, there’s plenty of true crime, a new Sally Rooney adaptation for fans of Normal People, and the latest from TV genius Russell T Davies. Find out what’s coming from the UK in 2021 and beyond below.
We’ll keep this list updated with new commissions and as casting details and release dates are confirmed.
Around the World in 80 Days (tbc)
Filming began in South Africa on this new eight-part adaptation of Jules Verne’s classic novel in February 2020, and was halted in March by Covid-19 with an episode and a half in the can, before resuming in early July. The European-funded series stars David Tennant as Verne’s famous explorer Phileas Fogg. To satisfy a foolhardy wager, Fogg and his valet set off on a globe-circling journey, this time in the company of journalist Abigail Fix, played by The Crown’s Leonie Benesch. It’s been adapted by a team led by Life On Mars’ Ashley Pharoah.
Anne (tbc)
World Productions, the makers of some of the best British drama around (Line Of Duty, Save Me, Jed Mercurio’s drama Bodyguard) are behind this four-part drama for ITV. Written by novelist Kevin Sampson, who was present at Hillsborough Stadium on the tragic day that ninety-six football fans died, it tells the real-life story of Anne Williams’ decades-long fight for justice for her teenage son and all the victims of the 1989 disaster. Maxine Peake stars in the lead role and Bruce Goodison directs.
Before We Die (tbc)
Adapted from the Swedish crime thriller of the same name (pictured above), Before We Die is the six-part story of a detective who discovers that her son is acting as an undercover informant in a brutal murder investigation. This English-language version is set in Bristol and stars Lesley Sharp, Vincent Regan and Patrick Gibson. It was due to film in Bristol and Belgium in winter 2020 and will be coming to Channel 4.
Behind Her Eyes (tbc)
Filming took place on this six-part Netflix psychological thriller back in 2019, so there shouldn’t be too long to wait for it now. Adapted by Hannibal and The Punisher’s Steve Lightfoot from Sarah Pinborough’s 2017 novel, it’s the story of a woman who becomes involved in an unconventional love triangle that develops into a dark, twist-filled web of secrets. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Beecham House) and The Luminaries’ Eve Hewson star.
Best Interests (tbc)
Jack Thorne (pictured), the busiest screenwriter in the UK is returning to BBC One fresh from His Dark Materials series two with a new original four-part drama partly inspired by the real-life Charlie Gard case. It’s about a young child with a life-threatening condition whose medical team judge it in her best interests that she be allowed to die, a decision her family can’t support and fight every step of the way. The commission was announced in July 2019 and filming was due to begin in 2020.
Bloodlands (tbc)
Filming got underway in February on new BBC One crime drama Bloodlands, which stars The Missing and Cold Feet‘s James Nesbitt and takes place in Northern Ireland. The thriller, from new writer Chris Brandon, will revolve around a cold case that holds personal significance for Nesbitt’s detective, and follows his hunt for an assassin. Susan Lynch, Michael Smiley, Ian McElhinney and Lisa Dwan are among the cast. In June 2020, the Belfast Telegraph reported from producer Jed Mercurio that filming had wrapped before the COVID-19 industry shutdown and that an extended post-production period had been agreed with the BBC.
But When We Dance (tbc)
Directed by Johnny Campbell (of In The Flesh and Dracula fame) and written by Esio Trot’s Paul Mayhew Archer, this one-off comedy-drama about two people with Parkinson’s disease was announced in late 2019 and will be coming to BBC One. Described as a touching and hilarious love story, it’s the story of Tony and Emma, a couple who first meet at a dance class for people with Parkinson’s. It promises to be a witty, heart-felt 90 minutes throwing a light on a much-diagnosed condition in the UK.
Chloe (tbc)
From Alice Seabright, director of Netflix’s Sex Education (pictured above) comes six-part BBC One series Chloe. It’s the story of Becky, who becomes so obsessed with the death of an estranged friend that she takes on a false identity to find out the true story.
Come Again (2022)
Robert Webb’s debut novel Come Again, which was published in April 2020, is being adapted for television. It was announced in May 2020 that Firebird Pictures Ltd is working on the screen version of the story by the writer-actor. Come Again is the first novel by Webb (Peep Show, Back, That Mitchell And Webb Look). It tells the story of Kate, a karate expert, computer genius widow mired in grief who gets an out-of-this-world chance to go back into her past and change the future. It’s part love story, part coming-of-age story, part spy thriller packed with action and 90s nostalgia.
Conversations with Friends (tbc)
Following the enormous success of Normal People – the story of young Irish couple Marianne and Connor navigating love, sex, university, class, friendship and mental health – the BBC and Hulu are collaborating on an adaptation of author Sally Rooney’s debut novel, Conversations with Friends. This one’s on a similar bent, as the story of a pair of young Irish students who get involved with an glamorous older, married couple. No casting has yet been announced but expect 12 half-hour episodes.
Cuckoo Song (2022)
Based on the acclaimed young adult novel by author Frances Hardinge (The Lie Tree, Fly By Night), this six-part fantasy series is coming to Netflix. Among the writers are Doctor Who’s Sarah Dollard, Elizabeth is Missing’s Andrea Gibb and The Innocents’ Corinna Faith. It’s the story of two sisters – one human and one a monster – at war with each other, who have to reunite to reverse a supernatural pact gone wrong.
Danny Boy (tbc)
Filming began in October 2020 on the provisionally titled Danny Boy, a new BBC Two feature-length drama about real-life soldier Brian Wood, accused of war crimes in Iraq by human rights lawyer Phil Shiner. Ordeal by Innocence’s Anthony Boyle will play Wood, with the magnificent Toby Jones as Shiner, with a screenplay written by Murder and Party Animals’ Robert Jones
Death Comes as the End (tbc)
With Agatha Christie adaptation The Pale Horse having completed Sarah Phelps’ quintet of adaptations for the BBC in 2020, it’s the turn of a different voice on a very different kind of Christie novel. That voice? Vanity Fair and Five Days screenwriter Gwyneth Hughes. And that novel? Death Comes As The End, a murder mystery set not in the early 20th century, but in ancient Egypt. The arrival of a new concubine sends ripples through an Egyptian priest’s family. The cast and air date have yet to be announced.
Devils (February)
Coming to Sky Atlantic in February, high-finance thriller Devils is based on Guido Maria Brera’s novel of the same name. It’s a story of a top investment firm, multi-million dollar deals, a mysterious death and a public scandal. Alessandro Borghi stars.
Domina (tbc)
From Simon Burke, the creator of Sky weird-thriller Fortitude, eight-part historical family saga Domina is set in ancient Rome, beginning in the wake of Julius Caesar’s assassination. Based on real historical characters, it follows the ascendancy of Livia Drusilla through the Roman political ranks, as she strategizes her way to the top, driven by revenge.
Englistan (tbc)
Actor, rapper and screenwriter Riz Ahmed (pictured) was announced in 2018 as developing this ambitious nine-part series with BBC Two, but no updates have been released since. It was set to be a drama about three generations of a British Pakistani family set over the course of four decades. As soon as there’s any news on this one, we’ll include it here.
Finding Alice (tbc)
Keeley Hawes stars as a woman who discovers a host of unsettling secrets when her partner Harry unexpectedly dies when they finally move into their newly built dream house. A black comedy coming to ITV, Finding Alice also stars Joanna Lumley and Nigel Havers, and was written by The Durrells’ Simon Nye.
Four Lives (tbc)
Previously titled The Barking Murders, Four Lives is a three-part BBC drama based on real-life killer Stephen Port, and the aftermath of the four murders he committed. Port raped and murdered four men between 2014 and 2015, using Grindr to attract his victims. Jeff Pope, who previously penned The Moorside and Little Boy Blue, is the writer, with Neil McKay directing. Sheridan Smith and Jamie Winstone will star alongside Stephen Merchant as Port. In this Entertainment Focus interview from April 2020, actor Michael Jibson confirmed the drama was currently postponed due to the ongoing real-life criminal case.

The 20 Best Horror Movies on Netflix UK – Scary Films to Watch Right Now
By Rosie Fletcher
Ginger Snaps (2022)
It’s 20 years since the release of Ginger Snaps, the first in a trilogy of now-cult horror films, and, according to Sid Gentle Films, high time for a live-action TV adaptation. The darkly comic feminist werewolf movie will be adapted for a TV co-production by Anna Ssemuyaba, who has previous written for Sky’s Guerilla, Channel 4’s Adult Material and ITV’s Unsaid Stories, and from by the co-producers of Killing Eve and Orphan Black.
Grace (tbc)
From Endeavour creator Russell Lewis come two feature-length adaptations of Peter James’ crime novel series about a Brighton-based Detective Superintendent. Life on Mars’ John Simm will play unorthodox investigator Roy Grace, who’s haunted by the disappearance of his wife, in two-hour versions of Dead Simple and Looking Good Dead. The first film revolves around a cold case and a groom who goes mysteriously missing just days before his wedding.
Half Bad (tbc)
Based on Sally Green’s celebrated book trilogy of the same name, Half Bad will be an eight-part one-hour Netflix fantasy drama. It’s about a 16-year-old boy who has spent his life surveilled for signs that he may follow in the footsteps of his father – the world’s most feared witch. Giri/Haji creator Joe Barton is writing the series, with Andy Serkis among the producers. We. Can’t. Wait.
Harlan Coben’s Stay Close (tbc)
Thriller writer Harlan Coban is currently part of the way into a five-year deal with Netflix to adapt 14 of his novels, and Stay Close is the latest adaptation from writer Danny Brocklehurst and RED Productions, the team that brought us The Stranger. Like The Stranger, Stay Close will star Richard Armitage and move the book setting from the US to the UK. It’s the story of three characters whose dark secrets threaten to destroy their lives. James Nesbitt and Cush Jumbo also star.
Hollington Drive (tbc)
If you’ve seen writer Sophie Petzal’s Irish thriller Blood starring Adrian Dunbar, you’ll want to tune in for this. Coming to ITV, it’s a four-part thriller about two grown-up sisters who become entangled in a tense mystery when their children are involved in the disappearance of a 10-year-old local boy. Expect twists, turns, and sharp writing.
Inside Man (tbc)
The latest BBC One drama from former Doctor Who and Sherlock showrunner Steven Moffat is a four-part crime thriller entitled Inside Man. The twisting story is about a death row inmate in the US and a woman who’s trapped in a cellar under an English vicarage, whose lives interlink “in the most unexpected way”. Filming was due to begin in late 2020.
Intergalactic (tbc)
Excellent news for sci-fi fans, this. Coming to Sky One and NOW TV in 2021, Intergalactic is an original, British space-set drama about a galactic pilot who’s falsely imprisoned, then breaks free with a gang of other high-security female prisoners. It stars The Tunnel‘s Savannah Steyn in the lead role, with Parminder Nagra, Eleanor Tomlinson, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Natasha O’Keeffe, Thomas Turgoose and Craig Parkinson, so lots of great British talent in the cast. Filming took place in Manchester and Spain and we’ll bring you much more closer to release.
It’s a Sin (January)
This 1980s-set drama (previously titled The Boys) comes from acclaimed screenwriter Russell T. Davies (A Very English Scandal, Doctor Who) and tackles the impact of AIDS on the lives of three young men across a period of ten years. It’s the story of “the epidemic, the pain of rejection and the prejudices that gay men faced throughout the decade.” Filming began on the five-part series in October 2019, with a cast including Olly Alexander, Neil Patrick Harris, Keeley Hawes, Stephen Fry, Tracy Ann Oberman and Shaun Dooley. See the first teaser here.
Karen Pirie (tbc)
A new detective is on her way to ITV in the form of Karen Pirie, the creation of novelist Val McDermid who’s also the literary source of ITV’s popular Wire in the Blood forensic pathology series. The new crime drama comes adapted from the first in McDermid’s five-book series The Distant Echo by Harlots and Save Me Too’s Emer Kenny. It’s about a young Scottish detective working in St. Andrews who is tasked with reopening cold cases. The first involves the 25-year-old death of a teenager whose unsolved murder has become the subject of a true crime podcast. It’s being made by Bodyguard and Line of Duty‘s World Productions.
Landscapers (tbc)
A four-part true crime series about ‘Mansfield Murderers’ Susan and Christopher Edwards is on its way to Sky Atlantic and HBO. Alexander Payne (Sideways) was set to direct, but departed the project in October 2020 following what’s being reported as a scheduling conflict after Covid-19 pushed production back. The Edwards killed Susan’s parents and buried them in their garden, then spent over a decade draining their bank accounts before being discovered in 2014. Olivia Colman will star as Susan Edwards, from a script written by Colman’s producer husband Ed Sinclair. Giri/Haji and Flowers’ Will Sharpe replaces Payne as the director.
Leonardo (tbc)
Not strictly (or at all) a British series, we’ve snuck this Italian production in anyway because of its lead actor – Poldark and Being Human’s Aidan Turner – and its pedigree – from The X-Files and The Man In The High Castle’s Frank Spotnitz. The writer-producer’s latest screen work was on Medici, also made for an Italian production company. This eight-episode series will tell the life of artist Leonardo through the story of his masterpieces. Filming wrapped in August 2020 and there’s no UK broadcaster confirmed at present.
Life After Life (tbc)
Kate Atkinson’s 2013 novel Life After Life is a masterpiece of imaginative fiction, so it’s no surprise that BBC One is currently preparing a TV adaptation. It’s the story of Ursula, a woman with the extraordinary power to keep being continually reborn into new and alternative versions of her life after she dies. Seemingly insignificant changes to people and circumstances set her on new courses every time – can she alter the course of history? Playwright Bash Doran (Traitors) has adapted the novel and filming is due to start in spring 2021.
Lockwood & Co (tbc)
Attack the Block’s Joe Cornish is writing and directing this Netflix adaptation of Jonathan Stroud’s supernatural adventure series about a ghost-hunting detective agency run by two teenage boys and a psychic girl. It’s set in London and was only announced in December 2020, so don’t expect to see it arrive on the streaming service for a little while yet.
My Name is Leon (tbc)
The BBC is preparing a feature-length adaptation of Kit de Waal’s novel My Name is Leon, the 1980s-set story of a nine-year-old biracial boy forced to cope with his mother’s breakdown. Writer-director Shola Amoo is adapting the screenplay, with Kibwe Tavares directing.
My Name is Lizzie (tbc)
This four-part Channel 4 drama, based on real events, will star The Virtues and Raised by Wolves’ Niamh Algar as an undercover police officer used in a honeytrap search for a killer in the 1990s. Written by The Tunnel’s Emilia di Girolamo, it promises to take viewers behind the scenes on one of the UK’s most controversial police investigations. It was only announced in late 2020, so don’t expect it for a little while.
Ralph and Katie (tbc)
This six-part half hour is a spin-off from BBC One’s hit family drama The A Word, following the married lives of the titular characters, both of whom have Down’s Syndrome. The original series creator Peter Bowker is writing the show, which stars Leon Harrop and Sarah Gordy, alongside new and emerging disabled talent.
Red Rose (tbc)
A contemporary teen horror series is on its way to BBC Three and Netflix, written by Michael and Paul Clarkson (The Haunting Of Hill House, pictured). Red Rose will be an eight-part series about the relationship between teenagers and their online lives. It’s the story of Rochelle, a Bolton teen who downloads a mysterious app that sets in motion a series of terrifying events. Ultimately, say the Clarksons, “it’s the story of friendship told through the prism of a classic horror-thriller.”
Riches (tbc)
From Empire to Succession, the complicated family lives of the super-wealthy are a continued source of fascination on screen. ITV has ordered drama Riches from writer Abby Ajayi to mine that seam. The six-part drama revolves around successful businessman Stephen Richards, a specialist in cosmetics for black women, who’s on a winning streak until a dramatic event forces his grown-up children from two marriages to gather together and decide what happens next.
Ridley Road (tbc)
Filming began in November on four-part BBC One thriller Ridley Road, adapted from Jo Bloom’s 2014 novel of the same name. Actor and screenwriter Sarah Solemani (Him & Her, No Offence) has adapted Bloom’s book, which tells the story of the fight against fascism in 1960s London. According to Solemani, the novel reveals “a darker side of Sixties London and the staggering contribution the Jewish community made in the battle against racism.” Newcomer Aggi O’Casey is joined by Eddie Marsan, Rory Kinnear, Samantha Spiro and more.
Ripley (tbc)
Sherlock and Fleabag’s Andrew Scott will play Tom Ripley in a new TV adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith five-strong novel series for Showtime and Sky Atlantic. The first season will restage events as depicted in Anthony Minghella’s The Talented Mr Ripley, when a young grifter in 1960s New York is hired by a wealthy man to convince his wayward, hedonist son – played by Emma and Beast’s Johnny Flynn – to return home from Italy. Steven Zaillian (The Night Of, Schindler’s List) will write and direct.
Rogue Heroes (tbc)
A major new drama is on its way to BBC One, from Steven Knight, creator of Peaky Blinders and Taboo. The six-part drama is based on Ben Macintyre’s SAS: Rogue Heroes book, which charts the creation of the famed Special Forces unit. Knight is writing the adaptation, which will tell a tale “celebrating the glory, action and camaraderie at the heart of this story” while delving into the psychology of the officers and men who formed the SAS in WWII. With real-life events given Knight’s visionary treatment, this one promises to be a spectacle with real depth.
Screw (tbc)
Inspired by his real-life experience as a civilian prison worker, writer Rob Williams (Killing Eve, pictured above) is bringing a six-part prison drama to Channel 4. Screw promises to show “the uncensored, terrifying and often darkly funny reality of life as a prison officer in an all-male prison in 21st century Britain.” The story focuses on veteran officer Leigh, who’s trying to keep her past buried, and mouthy new recruit Rose. Casting is yet to be announced.
Showtrial (tbc)
The Tunnel’s writer Ben Richards has teamed up with World Productions (the folks behind Bodyguard, pictured, and Line of Duty) on six-part series Showtrial. Coming to BBC One, it’s a legal drama that questions the role class, money and power play in justice being done. The story treats the disappearance of a young working class student and the subsequent arrest and trial of the accused, “the arrogant daughter of a wealthy entrepreneur.” There’s been no official news on this one since its December 2019 announcement, so stay tuned for more.

Superhoe (tbc)
Nicôle Lecky’s one-woman Royal Court stage show is getting the Fleabag treatment and being turned into a six-part BBC Three series. It’s the musical story of a would-be singer and rapper thrown out of home who moves in with a young woman who inducts her into the life of social media influencing and sex work.
Sweetpea (tbc)
From Kirstie Swain, the screenwriter of Channel 4’s Pure comes a new eight-part series adapted from C.J. Skuse’s 2017 novel of the same name. It’s the story of a young woman who seems unremarkable on the surface and works as an editorial assistant in a British seaside town. Unfulfilled by her job, she turns to darker pursuits outside of work, because who would ever suspect her? The comedy-drama is coming to Sky Atlantic and no casting has yet been announced. Read our interview with Kirstie Swain about Pure, mental illness in TV drama and more.
Tenacity (tbc)
If you saw His Dark Materials on BBC One, then you know Welsh-based Bad Wolf Productions are capable of great things on a grand scale. In 2019, ITV commissioned them to make six-part thriller Tenacity, from a screenplay by Flightplan’s Peter A. Dowling, based on the J.S. Law novel of the same name. It’s about a body discovered on a British nuclear submarine, investigated by military detective Danielle Lewis. Think assassins, high-stakes action and a momentous threat to national security. The cast is tba.
The Baby (tbc)
Due to film in 2021, The Baby is a darkly comic horror on its way to Sky Atlantic. The eight-episode first season was co-created by screenwriter Siân Robins-Grace (Kaos, Sex Education) and Gangs of London (pictured above) production manager Lucy Gaymer. It’s being billed as a provocative, dark and funny story about a woman in her late thirties who’s unexpectedly landed with a baby that takes over her world.
The Birth of Daniel F Harris (tbc)
With a similar premise to Sky One’s Two Weeks to Live, but a psychological drama instead of a knockabout comedy, this Channel 4 drama by Urban Myths‘ (pictured above) Pete Jackson is the story of a young man raised in isolation from society after his mother’s death, by a father who told him the outside world is filled with monsters. When the boy turns eighteen, he enters the world to find the person responsible for his mother’s death. Read more about it here.
The Confessions of Frannie Langton (tbc)
Adapted by Sara Collins from her own Costa Prize-winning novel of the same name, The Confessions of Frannie Langton is a four part murder mystery set in Georgian London. It follows the title character, born on a Jamaican slave plantation and transported as a ‘gift’ by the man who enslaved her to the home of a wealthy London couple who meet a grim fate. Was Frannie really responsible? Or is she being used?
The Elephant Man (tbc)
The story of Victorian Joseph Merrick was memorably brought to the screen by David Lynch in 1980, and has since been retold on stage (notably starring Bradley Cooper in the lead role). This two-part BBC drama stars Stranger Things’ Charlie Heaton (pictured) and is written by Moorside’s Neil McKay. The biopic will tell the story of Merrick’s life from the start to the end and promises to “explore the man behind the myth”. Filming was due to take place in Wales in late 2018, but there’s been no news about this one since so it’s a bit of a question mark.
The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies (tbc)
In this original six-part BBC One thriller, screenwriters Penelope and Ginny Skinner (pictured above) tell the story of two very different women, both of whom are being conned by the same man. Alice and Caroline have Rob in common, a celebrated ecopreneur who may well be trying to destroy them both. Inspired to fight against society’s glorification of the predator, The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies was commissioned in August 2020, so it’ll be a little while before we see it.
The Irregulars (tbc)
The modern version. The Robert Downey Jr version. The gnome version. The version where Watson is Lucy Liu. Just when you thought the world had no more Sherlock Holmes to give, along comes The Irregulars on Netflix. Written by My Mad Fat Diary‘s Tom Bidwell, this version focuses on the Baker Street gang of teens used as a resource by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Great Detective, and comes with what’s promised to be a horrifying supernatural twist. With Netflix money behind it, this could be a great deal of fun. Filming began in Liverpool in late 2019, then was put on hold thanks to Covid-19 but it’s still due to arrive in 2021. Henry Lloyd-Hughes (pictured above) will play Sherlock Holmes.
The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe (tbc)
Power, love, loyalty and politics all come to play in Dan Sefton’s (Trust Me) BBC adaptation of Keith Badman’s 2010 book The Final Years Of Marilyn Monroe. Narrowing the time-frame (as the working title suggests) Sefton’s drama will take in the final six months of Monroe’s life until her death in 1962 at the age of 36. We first heard about this one back in April 2019, but since then there’s been no news about casting or filming.
The North Water (tbc)
Film director Andrew Haigh (Weekend, 45 Years, Lean On Pete) has adapted and directed Ian Maguire’s novel The North Water into a four-part BBC Two drama with an excellent cast. Colin Farrell, Stephen Graham (pictured above), Tom Courtenay, Peter Mullan and Jack O’Connell are all on board – literally so as the series is set on a whaling ship in the Arctic in the 1850s. It’s the story of a disgraced ex-army surgeon who joins a whaling expedition and finds himself “on an ill-fated journey with a murderous psychopath” and in a struggle to survive. Filming took place on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard in late 2019.
The Offenders (tbc)
From co-creator of The Office and writer-director of fab wrestling film Fighting with my Family, Stephen Merchant (pictured above, and soon to be seen playing killer Stephen Port in ITV true crime drama Four Lives) and Mayans M.C.’s Elgin James is a six-part one-hour comedy The Offenders. A BBC One-Amazon Studios co-production, it follows seven strangers forced together to complete a Community Payback sentence in Bristol. Merchant is joined by Christopher Walken, Darren Boyd and Eleanor Tomlinson in the cast.
The Pembrokeshire Murders (January)
This three-part ITV true crime drama stars Luke Evans as Detective Superintendent Steve Wilkins, who, in 2006, reopened and solved a cold case from the 1980s using new forensic DNA evidence and, bizarrely, an episode of darts-based quiz show Bullseye. Keith Allen plays John Cooper, the man in Wilkins’ sights.
The Pursuit of Love (tbc)
Emily Mortimer has written and directed this BBC One adaptation of Nancy Mitford’s 1945 comic romance about an aristocratic family in the interwar period (loosely based on Mitford’s own family, which gained notoriety through her popular novels and her sisters’ scandalous connections to the British Union of Fascists and Adolf Hitler). Downton Abbey‘s Lily James plays lead Linda Radlett.
The Red Zone (tbc)
Sports writers Barney Ronay and Jonathan Liew are behind this six-part half-hour comedy “about football, but also not about football,” which is coming to Netflix in 2021. Director Sam Mendes is executive producing through his Neal Street Productions company. Only announced in late 2020, no casting has yet been confirmed for this one.
The Responder (tbc)
BBC Two is developing a six-part series from new screenwriter and former police officer Tony Schumacher, who’s been mentored by Jimmy McGovern as part of a BBC Writers Room initiative. The Responder will star The Hobbit and Sherlock‘s Martin Freeman as officer Chris, who works a series of night shifts in Liverpool. The series is described as funny, tragic, and showing the realities of policing in Britain.
The Rig (tbc)
In November 2020, Amazon Prime Video green-lit this six-episode supernatural thriller from Line of Duty and Bodyguard (pictured above) director John Strickland, written by David Macpherson. It’s due to film in Scotland and is set onboard the Kishorn Bravo oil rig in the North Sea. The crew finds itself marooned on the rig by a mysterious fog that cuts off communication with the outside world.
The Serpent (January)
Ripper Street writer Richard Warlow has written this original eight-part BBC drama about “the phenomenal true story of how one of the most elusive criminals of the 20th century was caught and brought to trial.” It’s the tale of Charlies Sobhraj, Interpol’s most wanted man in the 1970s following a series of murders of young Western travellers across India. Tom Shankland (Les Miserables, The City & The City) directs, and A Prophet and The Looming Tower‘s Tahar Rahim will play the lead role of Sobhraj. He’ll be joined by Jenna Coleman, Billie Howell and Ellie Bamber.
The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (tbc)
Now this sounds like a bit of alright. Adapted from Stuart Turton’s novel of the same name, it’s a seven-part murder mystery coming to Netflix. The story’s a high-concept thriller about a woman trying to solve a murder who keeps waking up in somebody else’s body every time she gets close to the answer. Sophie Petzal (The Last Kingdom, Blood – pictured above) is adapting it, and the announcement only arrived in late 2020, so don’t expect it for a little while yet. Casting is tba.
The Three (tbc)
Another BBC drama commission based on a book series, The Three, “an international thriller with a supernatural twist”, was announced in late 2017 but there’s been no news since then. The premise of Sarah Lotz’ trilogy sees four planes crash on the same day in four different countries, leaving three children as the miraculous survivors… Wolf Hall’s Peter Straughan was attached as adapting this eight-part drama but as yet, it’s still to appear on his IMDb credits. We’ll keep you posted if more arrives.
The Tourist (tbc)
Producer-writers Harry and Jack Williams (Fleabag, Baptiste, The Missing, Liar) are back with a six-part drama set and filmed in South Australia. The Tourist is an outback noir about a British man pursued through the Australian outback by a tank truck. When the man awakens in a hospital with no memory of who he is or how he got there, his search for answers takes him to some unsettling places. Chris Sweeney (Back to Life) directs and casting is tba.
Time (tbc)
Three-part prison drama Time is the latest from legendary British screenwriter Jimmy McGovern (Cracker, Accused, Broken), and stars Sean Bean and Stephen Graham. Filming is due to begin in autumn 2020 in Liverpool. It’s being billed as “a visceral and high-stakes portrayal of life in the modern British penal system”, and tells the story of two men – an inmate serving time for having killed an innocent man in an accident, and a prison officer targeted by a dangerous inmate.
Tom Jones (tbc)
Praise for 2018’s Vanity Fair adaptation, scheduled opposite Bodyguard in 2018, was drowned out somewhat by the hit political thriller, but there was plenty of it, and deservingly so. Good news then, that ITV has brought screenwriter Gwyneth Hughes back to tackle another classic novel – Henry Fielding’s 1749 book Tom Jones. Following in the footsteps of the acclaimed Albert Finney-starring 1963 film, and the raucous 1997 version with Max Beasley, expect rollicking fun. The last update we had in November 2019 confirmed that Hughes was mid-writing, but news has been thin on the ground since then.
Too Close (tbc)
Chernobyl‘s Emily Watson (pictured above in BBC One’s Apple Tree Yard) stars in this meaty psychological three-part thriller coming to ITV. Based on the novel of the same name written by Natalie Daniels (the pseudonym of actor-writer Clara Salaman, who’s also behind the screenplay), it’s about a forensic psychiatrist treating a patient who’s committed a heinous crime that she says she doesn’t remember. The two women become locked in a dark struggle of influence and manipulation. Watson is so far the only confirmed cast member.
Trigger Point (tbc)
Line of Duty actor Vicky McClure (pictured above) and creator Jed Mercurio are collaborating on a new ITV thriller about a bomb disposal expert. Written by Daniel Brierley and executive produced by Mercurio, it’s the story of Lana Washington (McClure) a front-line bomb disposal pro whose squad is pushed to the limits tackling a terrorist threat to London.
Vigil (tbc)
With a working title of Vigil, a new six-part thriller filmed in Scotland is on its way from the makers of Bodyguard and Line of Duty. Created by Strike‘s Tom Edge, it’s the story of the mysterious disappearance of a Scottish fishing trawler and a death on board a Trident nuclear submarine that brings the police into conflict with the Navy and British security services. It stars Suranne Jones, Rose Leslie, Shaun Evans, Anjli Mohindra, Martin Compston, Paterson Joseph and more. Filming was forced to halt in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 industry shutdown and resumed in August 2020.
Viewpoint (tbc)
A five-part thriller is coming to ITV from Rillington Place and Manhunt writer Ed Whitmore and Fleabag director Harry Bradbeer. It’s about a police surveillance investigation in Manchester following the disappearance of a primary school teacher. A detective constable (Noel Clarke, pictured) sets up a surveillance op in the flat of a local woman and watches the tight-knit community of the missing woman. ITV promises a “contemporary, character-driven murder mystery” mining the same ground as Rear Window and The Lives of Others.
When It Happens To You (tbc)
A new drama based on real-life abortion stories set in Northern Ireland – the only part of the UK where pregnancy termination remains illegal – is coming to BBC One. Written by Vanity Fair‘s Gwyneth Hughes, who travelled to Northern Ireland to meet the families who inspired the drama, When it Happens to You is produced by the makers of hard-hitting Three Girls (pictured) and will explore the experience of families and loved ones whose lives have been affected by the law in Northern Ireland.
White Stork (tbc)
Formerly known as Spadehead, White Stork is a 10-episode political drama coming to Netflix courtesy of Eleven, the British production compnay behind Sex Education. Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers, The Night Manager – pictured above) stars as James Cooper, whose secret past is unearthed when he’s vetted in preparation for a parliamentary election. It was creted by Jericho and Meadowlands‘ Christopher Dunlop, with Taboo‘s Kristoffer Nyholm directing.
You (tbc)
cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });
We might expect the working title of this one to change to avoid confusion with the Netflix stalker story of the same name, but as it stands, You will be an eight-part thriller coming to Sky. It’s adapted from the Zoran Drvenkar novel about a woman on the run across Europe after committing a deadly crime, pursued by a dangerous gangster and a serial killer known only as The Traveller, and is written by The Capture (pictured above) screenwriter Ben Chanan.

So a song from the soundtrack of the musical started playing and my mind went “AU!!!” so...
Sanders Sides Matilda AU
Logan is Matilda. Super smart and super powered.
Patton as Miss Honey. Kind, caring teacher and parental figure for Logan, but isn’t so good at standing up against...
Remus as Miss Trunchbull. Hates children, thinks they are maggots, always has creative ways of torturing punishing them.
Roman as Mrs Wormwood. The most extra person on the planet. ‘Looks not books’. Salsa and Ballroom dancer.
Deceit as Mr Wormwood. What better part for a liar than a con artist? Constantly making shady deals, hates his youngest son, but can’t wait for his eldest to take over the family business.
Virgil is Lavender. Logan’s best friend at school. He may seems shy, quiet and innocent, but he can be mischievous. Like putting a newt in the headmaster’s water jug...
Emile as the librarian Miss Phelps. Loves hearing Logan’s stories that he tells when he goes to the library. Before Patton, was the closest thing Logan had to a parental figure.
I think I’ll make Thomas Bruce Bogtrotter? I haven’t cast anyone as him yet, so I guess so. Also, imagining Thomas doing the solo in Revolting Children is awesome.
Bonus Remy as that one kid Nigel. This is literally only because Logan makes up the excuse that he’s got narcolepsy to get Remus off his trail at one point. Sleep, narcolepsy. It fits.

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
@joachimronning
Here’s a throwback to one of my favorite set pieces in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. We had slotted two days in the schedule for shooting a scene where Jack and Barbossa meet up in order to continue their journey together in the third act. But two weeks before we were supposed to shoot it, we still didn’t have a solve. I remember late night conferences with writer Jeff Nathanson, producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman and Disney’s Sean Bailey and Sam Dickerman, figuring it out - and at the same time being in the middle of principal photography(!). Jeff constructed a hilarious wedding scene but then the problem was that we had nowhere to shoot it and with little time to build anything. Production designer, Nigel Phelps, came to the rescue with the idea of the wedding taking place inside a washed up whale carcass - a simple set that could be built on time. Add Johnny’s genius ad-libbing and we had ourselves a scene. One of my favorites in the movies #tbt #potc #moviemagic

Matilda the Musical at Malmö Opera - review
Our review is finally done. We apologise for any spelling and grammar mistakes. English is not our first language and we wrote it down really fast after seeing the production so we wouldn’t forget anything. This is a very long review because there’s so many things that we wanted to include. Still, we didn’t go deep into detail about everything, because then we would never have finished this review. If you have any questions, need clarifications, want us to go more into detail about something or are wondering about something we didn’t mention, just ask. We’d be more than happy to answer your questions.
The layout of the theatre
Malmö Opera has a big and very deep stage, so without the stage feeling crowded or small, they have the orchestra on stage(on a turntable) on a platform. The back of the platform is covered with black fabric, so you don't know that they're there. This orchestra is bigger, at least twice the size. Since the orchestra is not using the orchestra pit, there's an 'extra' piece of stage on top of it, There's two curtains, one that is only visible before the performance starts. It's placed in the middle of the stage, has different sized 'boxes' and spells out Matilda. Different book titles are projected on it. When the performance is about to start the curtain turns black and there's light shining through the openings between the boxes. The curtain rises and reveals the second curtain that is further back. There's a frame on stage that consists of books stacked on top of each other. The second curtain fits into the frame, it has book stacks in the same light colour as the frame. The 'boxes' are present in this curtain too, with books in between the boxes.
The auditorium is very open and has four aisles (with stairs), two side aisles and two middle aisles, all of them lead up to the stage and are frequently used by the cast. A long row of spotlights hang from the ceiling, this will be important in The Hammer...
The set
Books are very present in this set. Pop up books are used in a very clever way. When Matilda is sent to her room, a huge book appears on stage. When the door is opened, Matilda's room 'pops' up: a loft bed, a desk with a chair and drawings on the wall (drawings that show excerpts from the acrobat and escapologist stories) The wallpaper is blue and has words written on it. The pop up book has pages that Matilda turns. When she turns the page to a hallway, three doors and a huge plant pops up. The same with the bathroom, a mirror, a sink, shelves with bottles and a toilet pops up. Maybe pops up is not the right way to describe them, you could say that they fold themselves up....
Miss Honey's house is a book that is rolled in, laying down. Matilda and Miss Honey open it up, and a bed, a small wooden box that serves as a table, and a tea pot and tea cups(made out of paper) pops up. Miss Honey's wallpaper is a mild yellow and just like Matilda’s, there are words written on it. There's a small window and on the wall hangs drawings that her pupils have drawn for her. For example, a drawing of Miss Honey in her pink dress,surrounded by children.
In When I grow up, there's climbing frames that look like books standing on their sides. They are also used in The smell of rebellion for the pupils to climb over.
The two long benches that are used as school benches are always on stage, if they're not in the classroom, they're placed on each side of the stage. The classroom has a board with a long bench in front of it. The students sit on long benches that are attached to a table each. The benches has books underneath them. The school gate is pulled all the way down at the beginning of School Song. During the school scenes it usually loams above and in the background of the set pieces.
During the library scenes the curtain is behind them and occasionally opens up to reveal the acrobat and the escapologist. When Matilda tells her stories, her drawings of what happens in the stories are projected onto the curtain. The projections sometimes appear to be moving at a fast speed towards the audience. It's really effectfull and beautiful.
Mrs Phelps book cart is quite big, it has three shelves in it and has a big space on top for Mrs Phelps to sit on. Matilda also stands on top of it sometimes during the stories. Other than books, Mrs Phelps also stores a box of biscuits there. The cart also has words on it, similar to Matilda’s and Miss Honey's wallpapers.
The Wormwoods living room, has a huge screen, facing the audience, a couch and an armchair. When the dance competition starts in Loud, the curtain rises, the turntable rotates and the orchestra is visible for the rest of the number.
The lightning is very harsh, black and dark blue most of the time. The exception is Miss Honeys classroom, it's still dark, but a mild yellow light shines on her and spreads throughout the classroom. Miss Honeys house has the same mild and welcoming colouring.
The library is also yellow, but warmer and brighter. During the stories, the lightning is darker. but is broken up by the projections.
Act 1
Miracle
The overture is not the same as in the original. It's hard to explain, it is a short piece that leads into the quiet theme. It's really good though.
It starts with the 'curtain' rising and the bench, with the kids sitting on top of it, being pushed forward. Two kindergarten teachers, a female dressed as a cupcake, and a male dressed as a bunny, enter from the sides. The cupcake welcomes all the parents to the end of the year concert. The parents enter from the stairs(this theatre has four aisles/stairs) calling out for their kids, waving and taking pictures. The kids stand up on the bench and start playing their instruments, badly. (It's obviously the orchestra playing...it sounds like the start of Miracle, but really out of tune.)The bunny is trying to conduct them, but it doesn't really work. Some of the kids are more interested in waving at their parents and looking over at them. Bruce turns his trumpet upside down, and sticks his face into it and Amanda bangs her cymbals together right in front of one of the other kids face.
The parents are now on stage. Eric jumps off the bench and runs to the front of the stage to sing the first line. The other kids join in and start dancing. The choreography has a similar concept to the original. For this number, some of the kids are siblings and most of them match their parents' style. Among the parents, there are one lesbian couple, one gay couple and a single mom.
The cupcake, the bunny and a magician bring out trays with cotton candy and each of the kids grab one. They are incorporated into the choreography and the kids dance while holding on to them for quite some time. Nigel smashes his into the face of the cupcake.
The kids swarm the bunny and Lavender climbs up on his shoulders. The kids tug at him and he stumbles and falls to his knees, Lavender gets off. In this version, Hortensia is the ballerina. Her mum is holding her leg, trying to make her do an arabesque while her dad is taking a photo.
Hospital scene
There are three screens, some nurses and the doctor. Mrs Wormwood sticks her head out from behind the curtain in the middle screen. When she talks about Rudolpho, she says: “I've got a real ace in my fishnet stockings”
The nurses are overly happy and excited, standing in the background with huge smiles and nodding. The doctor is very enthusiastic in this version too... When Mrs W says: “Am I...am I?” He nods happily and beams from ear to ear. When Mrs Wormwood asks if there's something the doctor can do, she grabs his arm,gets really close and up in his face. Another nurse enters with a wheelchair and gives Mrs Wormwood a mask with laughing gas. She wheels her in behind the screen. The other screens turn and reveal two couples with their newborn babies, looking happy. They start dancing while holding the babies. Mrs Wormwood, still behind the screen, actually pushes the nurse, who stumbles back several feet and looks horrified.
Mrs Wormwood is wheeled out from behind the screen, holding baby Matilda uncomfortably.
Mr Wormwood and Michael enter. Michael is awkwardly walking around in the background, looking at the other two couples babies. Two nurses are taking pictures of the parents and their babies. Michael tries to photobomb one of the couples and the nurse and the parents try to stop him.The nurse hands Michael baby Matilda and he carries her around while Mr Wormwood is talking to the doctor. Michael actually looks proud and happy while holding her. Mr Wormwood approaches one of the couples, trying to hand them money and gestures for them to swap their baby for his. They look scared and hurries off stage.
Mr Wormwood has a lot of different names for penis, about five of them. Instead of saying: “A boy with no thingie” He says: “A little boy without a little man” “I can't find his frank and beans” is “Can't find his package”
Mrs Wormwood sits in her wheelchair with an uncomfortable male nurse sitting next to her. He starts dancing with her, spinning the wheelchair around. They added the “Why do bad things happen to good people...” part from the Stratford production. The doctor tries to hand baby Matilda to the Wormwoods, but no one wants to take her. Eventually Mr Wormwood takes her and the Wormwoods leave the stage.
The 'curtain' opens and all the parents, kids and babies appear. The parents have strollers, except for the single mom, who has her expensive brand purse. The kids are jealous of their new siblings and make faces at them. Hortensia tugs at her sibling's legs and tries to tear the baby away from her parents.They try to get their parents attention, but the parents are occupied. The doctor lifts Lavender and twirls her around, at first she looks happy. The doctor puts her down and smiles his characteristic passionate smile. Lavender makes a face, like she's wondering who this weird man is. Everyone leaves and the Wormwoods enter with their couch and TV. There's no big entrance for Matilda, she enters shortly afterwards, carrying her book clutched to her chest. She sings her part as she enters and stands next to the couch. As she enters, Mrs Wormwood (who enters pushing in the TV) shoves her away roughly. The line: “My daddy says I'm a bore” is translated to “Daddy says I lack a penis” When she has finished singing, she sits down to read.
Family scene 1
They have a huge screen as the TV. Mr Wormwood is on the phone while Mrs Wormwood and Michael are eating take away food. Instead of saying: This is all your fault, Mr Wormwood points at Matilda and says: That is your fault.
Mrs W is talking with her mouth full and holds out her take away box and points her utensils at Mr Wormwood when she says: Dinners don't microwave themselves. When Mrs Wormwood says that she must be the worlds greatest acrobat, she falls over the back of the couch, spilling her food.
Naughty
A large set piece, looking like a closed book (standing up) comes forward. Mr W opens the book, revealing Matilda’s bedroom. It's kind of like a pop-up book, where the furniture pops out of the pages. The room has a loft bed, a bookshelf and a desk with a chair. There are drawings on the walls, depicting scenes from the acrobat stories.
Mr W takes the book from Matilda, spits in it, and mocks her, saying “bookworm, bookworm...”. Matilda climbs up the ladder to her bed, takes another book from her shelf, and starts singing. During the song, she turns a page in the book set, and steps out into the corridor. She sneaks past some doors, and turns yet another page, and enters the bathroom. This room has a sink (with a mirror and a shelves) and a toilet, which also pops out of the pages. When Matilda has picked up the bottles, Mrs W enters, wearing a nightgown and a sleeping mask. She turns on the lights, and Matilda quickly hides under the sink. Mrs W uses the toilet and then leaves the room and turns the light off, she appears to be almost sleepwalking...... Matilda finishes the song with the Matilda pose, mid stage. She then runs to the edge of the stage, grabs a book, and starts reading. She looks out into the audience, smirks and makes a shushing sign (which she will do now and then during the next scene...)
Mr W and Michael enter the bathroom, wearing matching pyjamas. While Mr W is applying his hair tonic, he suddenly appears to be in pain. (Michael repeats Mr W's words and movements) He says “it's not supposed to sting like this” and yells at Michael to give him a towel. Michael picks up the bottle instead, and repeatedly tries to give it to his father. Mr W eventually gets the towel. Mrs W enters, exclaiming “good morning”, to which Wr W responds by singing “good morning, good morning” (in Swedish). The scene plays out similar to the original. Matilda suggests that her father should pretend he's the Hulk, instead of an elf. Mr W and Michael leave Matilda and Mrs W alone, and the book set piece moves out. Matilda and her mom laugh together about Mr W's hair and Matilda looks so hopeful when asking if she wants to hear a story.
Library 1/Story 1
Matilda stands alone center stage. Mrs Phelps and Miss Honey enter together, pulling a book cart. The are talking amongst themselves, and seem very affectionate. They touch the other persons arm/shoulder while they talk. Mrs Phelps and Miss Honey seem to have a very special and deep relationship. Mrs Phelps calls her Jenny...but stops herself and calls her Miss Honey in front of Matilda. Miss Honey walks off to look for a book, climbing up on the book wagon to reach the books. Mrs Phelps notices Matilda, greets her and they hug before sitting down on one of the benches. Their conversation is slightly longer...Matilda adds: “Like, quality time” after her line. After Mrs Phelps says “Good Luck with Tolstoj” she turns to Matilda, explaining, he's a russian author. When Miss Honey leaves the stage, Matilda gets on her feet and runs over to the side of the stage, looking in the direction she left. After the line: “...my teacher” Mrs Phelps smiles and says: “You look happy” Mrs Phelps encourages Matilda to tell her a story by holding her hands and whispering: “Once upon a time...” Matilda repeats the phrase twice before actually starting to tell the story.
When Matilda starts telling the story, the “curtain” opens slightly, and the circus performers appear. The acrobat is up in her aerial silks, doing tricks. Matilda moves around more while telling the story, standing on top of the benches and climbing up on the book cart. Matilda illustrates the name of the trick with her body, doing gestures like crossing her arms in front of her in a hugging motion, when she says “locked in a cage...” She does this every time she repeats that line. When Matilda says: “slipping her hand into his...”, she takes Mrs Phelps' hand and squeezes it gently with both her hands.
Projections are used a lot for the stories, at one point the acrobat and the escapologists house is projected on the backdrop, it feels like it’s coming straight at the audience.
School song
The “curtain” rises and the school gate is lowered halfway down. The older kids are standing on stage, looking creepy. They're chewing gum, glaring, smoking and twirling their hair around their fingers.There are two 'leaders' of the gang of older kids, one female and one male. They are usually the ones that terrorizes the kids the most and leads the others. They work together a lot too. (The adult ensemble is larger in this production, there are about 15 big kids.) The small kids enter from the stairs/aisles, looking scared. The scene plays out similar up until “why?!” The kids huddle together in the middle of the stage and Matilda joins them. Some of the older kids bring out big books with letters on them that are used for the spelling part. They toss them to each other and pushes some of the books roughly at a few of the kids. The choreography in this number is fantastic. We thought it would be really hard to do something that would come close to the original, because it's so clever and creative. It's hard to describe choreography, but it's really advanced and physical and it looks really good with a lot of people.
This must have been a challenge to translate, since the Swedish language has three more letters. Some things had to be adapted and changed to work rhythmically, but it works really well. At one point, the older kids grab the small kids by their backpacks and pull them towards the gate. Towards the end of the song, two long school benches are pushed onto the stage. The kids are pushed down on them and the benches are spun around by some of the big kids. The other big kids are also sitting on the benches.The chalkboard and Miss Honey appears and the older kids leave.
Classroom scene 1
The kids are sitting on two benches, one in front of the other. They're still looking very scared. But Miss Honey is happy and welcoming. She writes her name on the board. The counting sequence isn't that different from the original. Miss Honey writes I can now read words on the board and the kids excitedly raise their hands. Nigel gets up on the bench in front of the board, where miss Honey usually stands. He looks at the board, turns around and looks at his classmates, confused and scared. Then he turns back to the board and gets into position. Nigel can actually read a few letters. (Mostly consonants, for some reason) He starts off with the first letter and Miss Honey nods and smiles to encourage him. He then jumps to the next consonant and goes back and forth a few times, adding another letter every time, going faster and faster. He moves along the board pointing to each letter he says. It's really hilarious. Miss Honey has to stop him, comfort him and lead him back to his seat. After Lavendel says “Yes!”, Miss Honey repeats what she said and makes a gesture.
Miss Honey looks very touched, as if she is about to cry, when Matilda starts listing all the books she has read. Some of the titles have been changed to Swedish books and books that are more known here. When the bell rings, the kids skip and jump out whilst talking among themselves.
Pathetic
Miss Honey starts out in the front of the stage, when she turns to walk out, she starts walking up the stairs/aisles. She sings the “this little girl” part still standing in the aisle. Then determinately walks back on stage. It's mostly similar to the original.
The hammer
Trunch is pushed in sitting her 'tennis judge' chair, with her hammer in hand. When Trunch says: “Thank you for suggesting it...” she turns in her chair so that her back is facing the audience. Miss Honey starts climbing up the ladder on the chair. Trunch then turns back violently and Miss Honey ducks and quickly climbs back down. Trunch climbs down from her chair and when she says: “So can I” she bangs her hammer on the floor. Miss Honey replies: “Ehh...yes....” patiently, like she is talking to a child. They walk up to the front of the stage and Trunch blows her whistle. The kids come running in. The big kids bring out a prize podium and a shelf with Trunch's trophies and balances it on the heads of some of the small kids. A couple of the small kids polish the trophies, which wobble as if they're about to fall. The kids have to jump and lift each other to reach the shelf. Trunch swings the hammer over her head and everyone follows the motion with their upper bodies to avoid getting hit. Trunch “throws” the hammer out into the audience. While it sails through the air, she says the: “no,no,no...”part. The hammer hits something that hangs from the ceiling and there's a loud crashing noise. Trunch exclaims: “Yes!” before saying a final no. The Trunch gets up on top of the podium and two of the big kids hang gold medals around her neck. One of them drops a medal on the ground and looks so terrified, as does his friend. Trunch glares at them both. After they have put all the medals around her neck they lift her off. When Trunch says: “Sing, children!” all kids run and stand on straight lines, singing the chorus. When Miss Honey joins in, she and the kids start marching on the spot. Trunch climbs up on her chair again, and says: “get out!” Everyone leaves the stage and Miss Honey walks out to one of the aisles and says her line and exits through the stairs.
Family scene 2
Mr W mocks Matilda, again, by repeating her line about the book. When he rips the pages out of the book, he scrunches them into balls and throws them at Matilda. He also puts some in his mouth. He jumps on the book multiple times, jumping on one leg, posing for a while and then starting again. Finally he throws himself on the floor, on top of the book. Mrs W and Michael clap their hands. The three of them leave the stage and Matilda goes to get the superglue from the bookshelf at the back of the stage. While applying the glue, she notices Mr W's cap laying on the floor, and a smirk spreads on her face. Mr W enters, looking for his cap. He turns the cushion in the armchair. When he puts on the cap, you hear a squishing sound. You can actually hear that the cap is full of glue.
Playground scene
All the kids enter. The big kids are bullying the younger kids, making them carry their jackets and polish their shoes. Lavender approaches Matilda. she lifts Matilda’s hair, like she's checking to see if her brains are coming out of her ears. Nigel enters from the back, screaming. He squeezes himself between Matilda and Lavender, crouching. Instead of saying her knickers stayed stuck to the seat” he says “there was a hole in her underpants”. Two of the big kids walk over. One of the big kids grab Nigel by the hair and pretends to swing him around like a hammer. When the chokey chant starts, Lavender takes Matilda's hand, and they run to the bench, where the other small kids are hiding. Matilda and Lavender huddle close together on the bench. When the chant is over, Matilda runs over to Nigel to comfort him. Only the small kids take off their jackets and cover Nigel, they then stand in a circle around him. Nigel says “please don't tell her I'm here”. The big kids (and Amanda who starts running towards Nigel, but doesn't make it and has to run back) stand further back. Trunch enters, wearing a map wrapped around her waist, holding it with one hand. The small kids get scared and run for cover under the bench. Nigel stands up and bows when he spots Trunch. After the Nigel sequence, Trunch turns around to walk away. Two of the big kids are whispering something and points to Amanda. They push Amanda forward, laughing. Trunch spots her, and yells. She walks over to Amanda, and grabs her. Amanda pushes Trunch, escapes and run for cover behind the big kids. Trunch pulls her back and grabs her by the pigtails (Amanda is now a doll). She spins her around and throws her into the wings. Some of the big kids run up one of the aisles to catch Amanda, and two of the boys carry her back on stage on their shoulders. Everyone chants Amanda! Amanda!. When Trunch turns to leave, you can see her hairy butt through the large hole in her skirt and underpants. Lavender throws her arms around Matilda and they hug as she says her line. All the kids leave the stage laughing.
Phonecall scene
After Mr Wormwoods phonecall with Sergei, the mechanic does a thing where he takes off his cap, twists it and puts it back on. Mr W tries to do the same, but obviously, he can't. After trying multiple times to get the cap off, the mechanic tries to help him. When that doesn't work, the mechanic puts his knee against Mr W's back and Mr W braces himself against him as he tries to get the cap off.
Loud
Miss Honey walks down the aisle and up the stairs and knocks at the Wormwoods door. Mrs W and Rudolpho are on the couch. Mrs W is on top of Rudolpho, stretching his leg. Mrs W calls Miss Honey a couple of different names, including Miss Horny. After Mrs W says: “You choose books, I choose looks” she adds: “You're sinking, and I'm floating...On top...” Rudolpho says “calculate this!” and does a back handspring into the splits. During Miss Honey's and Mrs Wormwoods conversation, Rudolpho is going all out in the background. Even more than in the original. He has the whole audience laughing out loud at what he is doing.
Mrs W is wearing her nightgown on top of her ballroom dress. The first time she says loud, she dramatically pulls the gown off. She throws the gown at Miss Honey, who stumbles back into the armchair. Mrs W and Rudolpho start dancing with Miss Honey much earlier. Rudolpho also dances alone with Miss Honey, making her very uncomfortable. Her body language and facial expressions here are fantastic. During their dance, Miss Honey repeatedly points towards the direction she came from, as if she's trying to leave.
When the competition part starts, the curtain rises and the orchestra is visible. There are four couples and some judges. Mrs W and Rudolpho dance in the middle, with the other couples surrounding them. Miss Honey lingers in the back. Towards the end, Miss Honey comes forward and claps her hands, showing with her body language that she wants to continue with their conversation. Mrs W and Rudolpho pulls her into the dance again. The four couples leave the stage, dancing. Mrs W and Rudolpho end the number, leaning against the railing in front of the orchestra.
This little girl
Miss Honey doesn't fall to the floor at the end of Loud. Otherwise, it kind of plays out the same way. This little girl is translated to My little girl, which makes it even more touching. That she already thinks of Matilda as hers. During the last part of the song, Matilda enters and stands in the background looking at Miss Honey.
Library 2/Story 2
Mrs Phelps and Matilda share a moment while Miss Honey leaves. When Matilda talks about the acrobats sister, a silhouette of Trunch is seen on the backdrop. When the escapologist speaks, both he and Matilda do the gestures. When she says: “The audience jumped to their feet....” Matilda takes Mrs Phelps' hands and pulls her up and they spin around. She skips around the stage, clapping her hands and Mrs Phelps joins her. At some performances, they got the audience to start clapping too. When Mrs Phelps has said: “So the story does have a happy ending..” , Matilda sits with her head down, looking sad. When she mentions the trick she doesn't do the gestures, instead she backs up. Because it's Trunch that says the line along with her, she looks angrier and tries to mimic Trunch's intimidating posture. When she screams: “Off to prison you both shall go” she half turns and points aggressively to the wings, the same direction as Mrs Phelps is in.
Bruce
Mrs Phelps exits and all the kids run in. The scene doesn't take place in the classroom, it's in the playground. The big kids continue to bully the smaller ones, in the same way as described earlier. Miss Honey enters and approaches Matilda, who's standing on her own, reading. Matilda looks so happy after Miss Honey has talked to her about the books. With a smile on her face, she throws her arms around Miss Honey. Miss Honey looks really happy too and laughs affectionately. When she says: “You're going to hug all the air out of me...” she talks as if she's squeezed so hard that she actually has trouble breathing because of it. They hug each other for a while, smiling, until Trunch enters and yells at Matilda. Matilda says “I'm here...” and Trunch storms towards her. Miss Honey is being very protective of Matilda, and stands in front of her, trying to cover her with her body. When Miss Honey says that Matilda has been here all morning, Trunch mocks her by imitating her tone and voice. Meanwhile, all the kids stand on each side of the stage, in front of the benches. While Trunch is yelling at Matilda, Bruce is fidgeting and you can see that he is troubled by what's happening. While Bruce says his monologue, Trunch moves so she's standing in between the benches. When the burp has landed on Trunch, she jumps forward and lands on one knee. The kids scream, looking terrified. The cook enters, rolling a cart with the cake on. Trunch goes to sit in her chair, and the cook sits on the steps of the chair.
The kids start out dancing on the benches, but most of the dancing is done on the ground. The big kids are in this routine too (they join in after a while), a couple of them dance on the benches during the majority of the number. When Bruce has finished the cake, all the kids cheer and celebrate. The big kids lift him up and throw him up in the air. Miss Honey bounces and jumps excitedly towards the end, when she sees that Bruce is going to make it. She screams in a really high pitch.Trunch has stepped down from her chair and is now standing near Miss Honey. Miss Honey celebrates and 'boxes' in the air and she 'happens to hit Trunch in the chest. Both of their facial expressions are hilarious. Trunch looks outraged and Miss Honey looks scared, but also kind of proud and amused.
When Trunch mentions the chokey, her chair is wheeled forward and opened at the side. Inside there's a chokey with spikes in the roof. The cook lifts Bruce and puts him in the chokey, while Bruce says: “I ate the whole cake, I did. Didn't I?” He screams and his screams weakens as the chair with the chokey is wheeled off the stage. Matilda climbs up on one of the benches and screams: “That's not right!”
Act 2
Telly
Before Telly, the orchestra plays an instrumental version of Loud. The orchestra is turned towards the audience, they react to what's going on on stage. Mr Wormwood enters and asks the conductor to get the orchestra to stop playing. They eventually stop and he starts his monologue. He picks someone from the audience and actually runs up the stairs to ask for their name. He says: “Say hello to... everybody” and everyone says hello. Then he proceeds to tease the person in question.. He says the line about evolving from unicorns in an Elvis like voice and gets into an Elvis pose. He has to start over about three times, because he is waiting for Michael to bring in the TV. When Michael enters, pushing the TV, Mrs Wormwood follows him. They stand on each side of the TV, bouncing along to the music. Before the ukulele part Mr Wormwood says: “Film this, this is amazing” Michael looks so proud of himself. Some of the authors that Mr W names has been changed to either Scandinavian authors or authors who's names rhymes on Swedish words. Roald Dahl is one of the authors. It's hard to explain the pun in English though.. During the last refrain, Michael and Mrs Wormwood walk along the edge of the stage, motioning for the audience to shout Telly.
During the matinee performance there was a lot of children in the audience. When he told the audience to not read books, the kids started booing so much that he whole audience joined in. They also booed when he was teasing the audience member and during the line about how telly is more important than books. He laughed and was a bit taken back by that reaction, and forgot some of the words because of that. He had to read the words off the monitor.
Lavenders monologue
Lavender suddenly appears in one of the aisles, shouting: “Hiiii....” She walks down the stairs towards the stage. She walks across the stage and into another aisle.When she talks about the newt, she takes out a pencil case from her backpack, opens it, and holds up the newt. At the end, she jumps up and down and runs out. All three girls do the monologue slightly different. For example, Ella mutters: “What's wrong with me today?” under her breath. They are all spunky and very expressive.
When I grow up
Bruce crawls out from underneath one of 'upturned' books, he sings his part. Meanwhile, Tommy joins him, also crawling out. Tommy picks up a bottle of soap bubbles and starts blowing. Bruce looks very sad, but when he sees the bubbles, he starts to smile a little. He reaches with his hand, as if to catch a bubble. Tommy hands the bottle to Bruce, and they smile at each other. Bruce then proceeds to blow bubbles. Some of the other kids (both small and big) run in and climb up the books. Eric and Hortensia sing the second part.
One of the big kids climbs on top of Bruce’s and Tommy’s book and blows bubbles down on them. Bigger bubbles start falling from the ceiling. Some of the kids sit beneath the books, others on top of them and some are standing on the back side, leaning their arms and heads on/over them. Some of the small kids use the books as a slide.
A couple of the small kids run towards two big kids each and balance on their arms, reaching their arms up to grab the bubbles. The other kids reach their arms up after the bubbles, too.
The kids run to the back, but leave a bottle of soap bubbles on the ground. Miss Honey enters, stops to look at it and picks it up. She starts blowing bubbles before singing her part. Matilda enters about the same time, sits down underneath one of the books, and leans against it whilst reading a book and singing her part. Everyone but Matilda leaves...
Library 3/Story 3
Mrs Phelps enters and asks Matilda how she is doing. When Matilda says: “Not a child actually...” It seems like Mrs Phelps suspects something, because she says: “Matilda...what do you mean?” and is about to say something more, but Matilda interrupts and distracts her by asking if she wants to hear the story. Mrs Phelps gets really excited and she and Matilda 'poses' in the same way a couple of times as the intro music is played. As Matilda starts telling the story, the acrobat and the escapologist appear behind her. The acrobat wraps chains around the escapologist. Projections of a cage and flames appear, surrounding them. The acrobat rises up in the air. The scene really plays out before the audiences eyes. Foam from the fire extinguisher is seen near the acrobat. It's really beautiful, it almost looks like an extension of her costume. Their hands touch, and then she falls. Soon after, the acrobat is laying in the escapologists arms. (During this scene it's an ensemble member who plays the acrobat while she's in the air.) The sound effects are really good here, you can hear the sound of chains rattling and the door to the cage being opened. When Matilda says “the meanest, cruelest, horriblest aunt you can possibly imagine” she walks over to Mrs Phelps, who's sitting on her book cart, taking one step on every beat. She screams the last part in Mrs Phelps face, leaning over the edge of the cart. After Matilda has said “It's just a story...” Mrs Phelps says: “Yes, just a story. A story...that's something we need to remember. Both you and me...”
After Matilda finishes her story, Mrs Phelps takes out a box of cookies from her cart and offers one to Matilda. Matilda sits at the cart, eating her cookie.
Family scene 3/Story 4
The Wormwoods enter with their couch. They all sit down on the couch, Michael listens to music and Mrs W is sharpening her nails. Matilda tries to sit down on the couch next to her mother, but she kicks her away. When Mr W says that he wants his whole family gathered, Matilda happily comes forward and tries to sit down in her mothers lap. Mr W says: “Not you, boy...” and Mrs W pushes her away. Instead, Matilda tries to sit on the armrest of the couch, but once again gets pushed off by Mrs W. Matilda sadly stands next to the couch as Mr W talks. He asks “how do you fix the mileage on the cars?” and looks at Mrs W like he is expecting an answer. Mrs W thinks hard about it for a while. Her face looks blank and she looks really confused. Mr W turns to Michael, puts his arm around Michael's shoulder and explains what he did and how it works. When Mr W opens the bag to reveal the money, he starts throwing money into the air and Mrs W joins him, screaming with joy.
Mrs W and Michael leave the stage as Mr W forcefully drags Matilda to her room, opens the door and throws her in. Matilda climbs up to her bed and wraps her bedspread around herself, then continues telling the story. She throws down her bedspread when she says the “threw her in a cellar “ line. She climbs down from her bed and continues the story. The escapologist enters dressed in his performance costume. He takes her in his arms and the scene plays out similar to the original for a while. He gives her the scarf and when she continues with the story she's wearing the scarf.The escapologist doesn't carry Matilda to bed though. Instead she goes to get her bedspread, lays down with her head in his lap, and he tucks her in with the bedspread. The escapologist throws his cape and runs out after saying his last words. At the same time, a huge silhouette of the Trunch, with her arms outstretched as if to grab the escapologist, appears on the curtain. Again, the projection moves, so it's like she's following the escapologist. When Matilda sadly says: “Because he never came home, ever again”, Miss Honey walks in at the back of stage, carrying two books for Matilda.
Phys Ed
Miss Honey hurries towards Matilda, looking happy and excited. Before she has the chance to give Matilda the books, Miss Trunchbull storms in. Miss Honey puts herself in front of Matilda to protect her. One of the older school girl runs in with a shredder around her neck. Trunch rips the books from Miss Honey's hands and shoves one of them into the shredder. Trunch's chair is in the background and one of the older boys lifts Bruce out of the chokey. Bruce walks over to Trunch, looking very broken down. Trunch gives him the other book and makes him put it into the shredder. Matilda grabs Bruce's hand and they run out together. The girl carrying the shredder runs out in the same direction. Miss Honey sits down and starts picking up the pieces of paper that are left after the books were shredded, then she stands up, holding the pieces to her chest. It's a beautiful parallel to when Matilda picks up the pages of the book earlier.
Trunch blows the whistle, and all the kids(both small and big) except for Matilda and Bruce run in. Lavender runs down the stage and down the aisle to get the jug.
The kids stand on straight lines and start off with stretching. Trunch is in the front showing them what to do. They also do some material arts like moves.Trunch then proceeds to walk around among the children, sniffing at the kids. For example, she sniffs Nigel's arm pits. Bruce comes running in, really out of breath, and takes Lavenders spot. He is panting loudly, Trunch yells: “quiet!” and he closes his mouth, trying to hold his breaths in. Trunch takes out her hair ties and shakes out her hair, so it's in a ponytail. She hands the hair ties to an audience member and tells the person to hold them for her. Around this time Miss Honey leaves the stage.
Trunch continues walking around, lifting and flipping some of the small kids around. She also shoulder presses Bruce. Afterwards, the kids practise boxing in pairs of two, usually one big kid and one small kid. Trunch goes to stand on her podium in the middle and the kids move on to different stations. For example, step ups at the benches and climbing over the 'upturned' books (from When I grow up) army training style. It's circle training, so they rotate between the stations. Some of the big kids are lifting two of the small kids up in the air.This is where Matilda enters (she's not wearing phys ed clothes though, she's wearing her school uniform, but without the jacket.) When the slow part starts roman rings are lowered from the ceiling. Trunch grabs the ropes and positions herself in the rings as they rise up. The students are now laying on the floor and leaning over the 'upturned' books, completely exhausted. Trunch starts doing tricks in the rings, including a full split. After Eric has said his line, Trunch (who is now down on the ground) start running after Eric. The students hurry to stand up, straight in the back, when Trunch comes running. The students run into position and continue with martial arts like movies, but even faster this time. By the end, all of the students are shaking really badly. They slowly fall to the ground, one by one.
Miss Honey enters and sees all the kids laying on the floor, completely out of it. She walks around the room, kneels close to the kids, patting them gently and trying to support them and make sure that they are alright. Lavender appears from the aisle with the jug and the newt in her hands. She holds out the newt and dangles it in front of an audience member, saying: “Look, it's the newt. I've got the newt..” She puts the newt in the jug before she hands it to Trunch, who puts it on the podium. Lavender then sneaks past the audience members on the front row next to where she stands. She stands on the floor, watching everything play out from there.
The small kids tease Trunch more when she's panicking about the newt. They take turns to say things like: “It's a snake!” “Watch out, headmistress Agatha!” “It bites!“I bet it's poisonous!” Miss Honey worriedly tells the kids to be quiet. When Matilda screams “You big fat bully” , Miss Honey is nearby, trying to protect Matilda. The other kids run and hide underneath the benches.
Quiet
The whole number is performed standing up. During the first part of the song, she is covering her ears the whole time. It's mostly Trunch that moves around in the background. Miss Honey moves around a bit, to check on the kids, who's hiding underneath the benches during the whole number.
There is a nice nod to Pippi Longstocking in the translation. (Pippi Longstocking is a famous character from a book series by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. Like Matilda, Pippi is a little girl who takes control of her own destiny.) Pippi always sleeps with her feet on her pillow. So instead of singing: “Like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed.” she sings: ”Laying in bed, like Pippi, with your feet up”
When she sings “people around me” she walks over to the podium and reaches her hand towards the jug of water (as if she is thinking of using it) She walks back to the the spot she came from and finishes the song. The lightning in this number is gorgeous.
She turns towards the podium and focuses on the jug. The kids start to look up and crawl out from underneath the benches when they see that is something is about to happen. The newt lands on Trunch's chest. Trunch runs around, waving her arms and eventually stops next to Miss Honey. Trunch starts pointing and gesturing towards Miss Honey to do something, but she just looks at her, confused. The Trunch runs out and everyone laughs, even Miss Honey. Miss Honey tells everyone that it is best to leave and they run out whilst laughing and mocking Trunch by repeating her words and gestures. Matilda makes the mug tip again. Two of the big kids run past Matilda and Miss Honey, still laughing at Trunch. They take out the podium and jug of water. One of them drops Matilda's jacket on the floor. She picks it up and puts it on before walking away with Miss Honey. In the background, Miss Honeys house is being pushed forward, while Matilda and Miss Honey talk about Matilda's family.
My House
Matilda and Miss Honey open the closed book and it folds up like a pop up book. Matilda and Miss Honey talk and Miss Honey makes tea (not real tea) during their conversation. She then comes back and sits next to Matilda, on the edge of the book. Instead of singing: “On this floor I can stand on my own two feet” she sings: “And a floor, you can stand and dance upon” As she sings dance, she slides back with her legs in front of her, with a smile on her face. Matilda looks at her and a smile appears on her face too. Matilda goes to sit down on the bed while Miss Honey continues to sing. When Miss Honey sings about dreaming, she walks over to the bed and tosses her pillow to Matilda, who holds it against her chest. Miss Honey then sits down on the bed, next to Matilda. The song title is translated to “My own house” and that little extra word has a lot of impact. It's her own house, something that is just hers and that she and only she controls. It's something that the Trunch can't take away from her. The escapologist appears and walks across the stage, behind the opened book. He then stands to the side and never enters the house or approaches Miss Honey. When the Escapologist leaves, he tips his hat towards Miss Honey, as if to say goodbye to her. Matilda finds the scarf (which was hidden under Miss Honey's pillow) in the bed and asks Miss Honey about it. Matilda grabs Miss Honey's hand and drags her out of the house, but Miss Honey pulls away. She turns around, shaking her head, covering her face with her hands.
After Matilda shouts: “Miss Thunchbull!” the book gets pushed out and is replaced by the school benches. While the scene changes, Matilda hands Miss Honey the scarf and they have a sweet moment where Matilda makes sure Miss Honey is ok. Miss Honey puts the scarf around her neck, and she and Matilda join the other small kids, who are now sitting on the benches. Meanwhile, the chalkboard comes forward, with the Trunch standing on the bench in front of it. One of the kids hands Miss Honey a book, and she opens it and start to read to them. The kids all huddle close, pointing and gesturing, and everyone looks happy. It’s a really lovely moment. No one takes notice of Trunch, who's lurking in the back. When she starts talking, all the kids rush to their places, standing with their heads down. When Trunch asks Miss Honey what she's looking at, she replies: “You Agatha”
Spelling test and Revolting Children
Trunch takes out a bunch of papers with the spelling test on, places one bunch on each bench and the kids pass them on. Miss Honey is getting really angry when Trunch accuses Hortensia of cheating. When it's Lavenders turn to spell, Trunch lifts her up and she splashes like a fish. One by one, the kids stand up on the benches and start spelling. They yell: “Revolution! Revolution! Revolution!” in unison. Trunch puts on large earmuffs and takes out a large controller for the chokey. The chokey has a high screeching sound that makes everyone cover their ears. Miss Honey tries to protect the kids and get them to hide. Once they are hidden, she reaches out her hand towards Matilda and beckons for her to join the others. But Matilda doesn't notice what Miss Honey is doing. She stares intently at the board and the chalk start moving. The other kids come out of hiding. They lean over the front bench, reading out loud. Miss Honey stands to the side, she notices quite quickly that it's Matilda who controls the chalk. Emma starts hitting the bench and screams: “Run!” The kids stand up on the benches as they shout “Run!” Miss Honey starts shouting too.
The Bruces have different types of voices. Milton has a really strong voice and belt, Max has more of a souly voice with vibrato, Joel has a more poppy kind of voice.
Bruce tears the test apart when he sings “never again”. He looks around at the other kids, and gestures for them to join. They tear their tests apart when they sing “never again” . On the last “never again” they crumple the tests to balls and throw them into the audience. Matilda and Miss Honey remain on stage for Revolting Children. Matilda sings and dances with her classmates and Miss Honey remains in the back, looking happy and proud. The big kids start filling in and Miss Honey talks to them and gestures for them to join the smaller kids. They join in, a couple at a time. Some of the big kids pushes the benches to the side. Bruce sings: “She can take her hammer and shove it up her ass” At the end, he covers his mouth with his hand, looking like he can't believe he said that... Miss Honey cheers them on and during R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N-G she claps along. After that she runs to join them and the kids creates a space for her in the middle. She looks so cute and happy when she dances with them. At the end, crumbled spelling tests fall from the ceiling into the midsection of the auditorium.
Ending scene
Mrs Phelps enters and as she starts talking, a letter slowly falls from the ceiling and lands near Miss Honey. She looks surprised as she picks it up and reads it. Matilda sits on a bench and reads. Matilda looks up from her book to say the line: “And a new headmistress took over” After Mrs Phelps has said the line about it being the best school in the entire country, Miss Honey smiles/giggles and waves the compliment away... Miss Honey walks over to Matilda when she says that Matilda can no longer move things with her eyes. She hands her a book and takes the one Matilda was previously reading. It's a nice touch...That Matilda finally gets to read the clever books that Miss Honey wanted to bring her. Miss Honey walks back to he middle of the stage as she talks about Matilda. Mrs Phelps puts her hand on Miss Honeys shoulder as if to comfort her, when she says that perhaps all stories doesn't have happy endings...
The Wormwoods and Rudolpho run in from the side. Mr W is wearing a bast skirt over his suit, Michael has a huge swimming ring (in the shape of a duck) around his waist and wears a sombrero. Mrs W wears a hat and a flamenco inspired dress and Rudolpho is dressed as a matador with a mask. Mr Wormwood grabs Matilda and starts to drag her away. Mrs Phelps cries out: “Matilda!” She sounds really heartbroken about them taking Matilda away. Miss Honey runs after them while saying her line. Matilda lightens up for a moment. The russians appear (there are more of them), entering from the aisles. Sergei has a cane and the others carry different weapons. Some remain in the aisles, glaring at the audience and showing off their weapons. The Wormwoods hide behind the benches and bookcases. Rudolpho slides under the bench, doubled over. Again, Miss Honey is very protective of Matilda. She tries to shield her from the russians and puts her arm protectively around Matilda. When Matilda is talking to Sergei, Mrs Phelps and Miss Honey stand close together, watching Matilda intently. Matilda turns in Mr Wormwoods direction when she says: “ And very, very stupid”. After Sergei says: “backwards”, Michael jumps out from his hiding place shouting: “ backwards dad!” with a huge smile on his face. Mr W gestures for him to go back, and tells him to be quiet. The russians seem to have some extra lines and interact more with each other in this version. Their russian sounds really good, especially Sergei, it sounds so natural. The russians push and shove Mr Wormwood, blow smoke into his face and forcefully grab the bag of money from his hands before leaving.
Mrs W, Rudolpho and Michael run out. Mr W stops and calls: “What are we gonna do with my daughter?” Matilda runs towards Mr W and almost gives him a hug. Mr W looks a bit uncomfortable and Matilda changes her mind and carefully shakes his hand instead. She shakes his hand and kind of squeezes it. It's hard to explain... But when she squeezes his hand, she makes the magic stop. You can tell by the look on Mr W's face that he can feel it. He takes off his cap and puts it on Matildas head before leaving.Mrs Phelps and Miss Honey are now hugging and looking happy. Miss Honey says: “And Matilda leapt into Jenny's arms” Rudolpho runs in, jumps up on the bench, poses, says his line, jumps down in a split jump and runs off again. Mrs Phelps is now standing next to Matilda. Miss Honey says: “Because they had found each other” Mrs Phelps nods and says: “Yes, they had” before Matilda says her line. Both Miss Honey and Mrs Phelps put their arms around Matilda and the three of them walk off together.
Bows:
The big kids run in first, then the acrobat and escapologist in their performance costumes and then the small kids. Rudolpho, Michael and Sergei enter together, Michael remains midstage as the Wormwoods enter. They shove him away before taking their bows. Mrs Phelps and Miss Honey enter, holding hands. All the kids walk in, standing in a V formation. The rest of the cast stand on the sides. The back curtain opens and Trunch enters, carrying her hammer. Matilda enters from the back and takes her bow. Everyone does the end of the Naughty choreography. Trunch walks past and everyone ends in the Matilda pose. The music changes into Revolting Children and the whole ensemble claps and get the audience going. The kids (small and big) do the last chorus of Revolting Children while the other cast members clap along. The back curtain opens all the way, and the orchestra in turned around to face the audience. It ends with all the kids throwing their jackets in the air and the whole ensemble doing a pose of their choice.

Portrayals:
Matilda: The biggest difference between the Swedish Matildas and the RSC Matildas is that they are allowed to smile. Most of the time, they are serious, reserved and and doesn't smile, especially in the family scenes. But, when they spend time with Mrs Phelps, they smile and come out of their shell. Their movements are bigger and they seem more free. It's like the Matilda we see with Mrs Phelps is the person Matilda is deep down inside, and who she could be if she had loving, supporting parents. That makes it even sadder, in a way. Matilda smiles at Miss Honey during the biggest hug in the world, and also occasionally during My House. When Miss Honey looks happy, Matilda smiles. Matilda seems happy when she is with Mrs Phelps and Miss Honey, you can really tell how much she loves them and that they mean a lot to her.
They're not as loud during the stories as in the RSC production.
All three girls are fantastic Matildas and they each have their own styles and their own portrayals. They're all very different from each other, which made every performance extra exciting to watch, because it was never similar to the previous one. We're not going to go through what each of them did in every scene, because that would be way too long. So this will be more of a summary of their respective portrayals and what kind of Matildas they are.
Anna: Anna is the oldest and the most experienced in acting of the Matildas, which is visible in her performance. Her Matilda is somber and a bit more quiet. Her performance is very nuanced, for example: When she tells the stories she is relaxed and carefree, but as soon as Mrs Phelps asks about her parents, her body language changes. She curls up, hunches forward and her voice gets sadder and lower. That being said, her more cheeky moments are fantastic, too. She has great facials during Naughty. Her facial expression when she shushes and smirks at the audience during the bathroom scene is amazing. Anna uses her hands a lot when she is acting, for example when she's talking to Miss Honey about Trunch and all the cruel things she did, she hits her fist against her hand for every thing she says. She is also very articulate, one reason for that is probably because she is Danish and she wants to make sure that everyone understands what she's saying. She speaks Swedish really well, but with quite a heavy accent. She is a strong and confident singer and it feels like the songs really suits her voice. You can hardly hear her accent when she is singing.
Eva: Eva is an really expressive Matilda, down to her fingertips. She uses her whole body in her performance, especially during the stories. Speaking of stories, hers are really intense. It seems like she enjoys getting strong reactions out of Mrs Phelps. Her Matilda seems like she loves having someone notice her and give her their full attention. She emphasises certain words throughout her performance, which has a lot of impact. She also does that while singing. Eva's voice has a very wide range, it's especially noticeable in Quiet. She starts off very low and uses her full range throughout the song.
Eva's Matilda isn't as scared by her parents and Miss Trunchbull as the others are. She mostly seem to think her parents are stupid, she's rolling her eyes at them and she talks to them very slowly. Eva also smirks when she thinks they're particularly stupid. She is the most angry of the Matildas too... The performance we saw was only Eva's second performance, so her portrayal might have changed a bit since then...
Matilda: Matilda is really perky and feisty and the one who smiles the most. She is the youngest of the Matildas and her Matilda appears younger than the others. There is an air of innocence around her... She seems like she doesn't understand that it's unusual that she reads. It comes as a surprise to her that it's not something that everyone her age does. When she realises that Miss Honey is in awe of her, she looks and sounds proud. She is louder in the stories than the other two girls, and her gestures are bigger. Her expression during the stories is huge, you can't take your eyes off of her. She is tiny, but she strides forward with big steps and a look of determination on her face. Matilda has a higher pitch than the others and she sort of sings in a staccato manner.
All the girls are really strong dancers too. In this production, Matilda dances much more than in RSC's production. You can tell that the girls really enjoy being a part of that and dancing with all the others. All three of them are really good at speaking russian, it flows really well and sounds natural when they're speaking.
Matilda wears a grey linen dress with a white collar and folds at the front, grey socks and brown shoes. Her hair is let out and slightly curly.
Miss Honey: We may be slightly biased here, because Linda Olsson has been our dream Miss Honey for a couple of years now. She was even better than we had imagined. She has this light about her. Even though she is broken down and, she still finds little things to smile and laugh about. She is not less broken down, but she hides it more from her students. Also, she seems content and happy in her classroom with her beloved students and in the library with Mrs Phelps. It's similar to Matilda, she blossoms when she is doing what she loves, with the people that she loves. She is also trying to be strong for her students. As the story progresses, she slowly gets braver, and tries to stand up to the Trunch and protect them more and more. She often puts herself in between Trunch and the children, to shield them with her body. She has a very big and kind heart and you can really tell when she loves someone, she glows.. She is so supportive, patient and caring when it comes to all of her students. Somehow, despite what she has been through, she still tries to see the good in everyone. Perhaps she is a bit naive... sometimes, when talking to Trunch and Mrs W, she laughs because she thinks they're not being serious. She is kind of funny too...
Her body language and facial expressions says so much. We haven't talked a lot about Pathethic and This little girl, because they're quite short and it's hard to describe all the little things that's going on. It's much easier describing the 'bigger' scenes... But she conveys everything Miss Honey feels so well in those numbers. It's the way she uses the tone of her voice, clenching of fists, dropping her shoulders... But also determinately straightening up...
A small little rebellious streak that she has from the beginning is that she never calls Trunch Headmistress, she calls her miss. And by the end, when Trunch asks: “What are you looking at?”, she simply says: “You, Agatha” That is really powerful, it's like she's feeling that Miss Trunchbull doesn't own her or control her anymore.
Her voice is so beautiful and so heartfelt.
Miss Honey wears an old pink linen dress with a collar and buttons down to her waist. The dress has slightly puffy shoulders and a fold in the front. She wears a pair of low, darkly coloured full heels. Her hair is pulled back from her face by a hair clip on one side of her face.
Mrs Phelps: Mrs Phelps is just lovely. She is like a grandmother/fairy godmother. Her and Matilda have a very sweet and special relationship. She seem to be so fond of Matilda and she's very affectionate. Mrs Phelps hugs Matilda and puts her arm around her quite a lot. Phelps is very attentive to Matilda’s mood and the things she says. You can tell that she's a very intuitive person and that she senses that Matilda is troubled. This Mrs Phelps is more quiet and she doesn't react as loudly to the stories. Marianne Mörck is perfect for this Mrs Phelps, it feels like they have shaped the character around her. Her acting is really natural, she never says her lines exactly the same.
Her costume has different shades of beige and yellow and is made of linen and wool. Mrs Phelps is the epitomy of what us Swedes call a kulturtant (cultured lady). It's a lady, usually aged 60 and over, who consumes a lot of culture. She often has a membership to her local theatre or opera house, goes to art exhibitions, visits the library and advocates for culture to be available for everyone. They often dress like Mrs Phelps, in bright and earthy colours, and their clothes are made of linen and wool.
The child ensemble: All the kids are fantastic and they each bring something special to the performance. Their hard work at the Matilda school (they've been practising three days a week for about a year) has really payed off. Both teams are so tight, synched and with great chemistry between all of them. Their singing, dancing and acting is amazing and they have so much joy and energy. Their facials and reactions are fantastic. We can't praise them enough, we're in awe of them all. They have their own little quirks and things they do. They're all really good at staying in character and acting when they're not in focus. We never saw anyone lose focus, even if something unexpected happened.
In this production they don’t really follow the RSC model for the child characters. First of all, they have added another child character, called Emma. (We don’t really know why...probably because they wanted even numbers for the kids)Eric is not played by the smallest boys (so Eric doesn’t crawl around, hide with Bruce and all those things...) The Bruces aren’t always the oldest and tallest boys just as the Amandas aren’t the smallest girls (they are small, but not the smallest..) Some lines (both spoken and sung) have been switched around and given to other characters.
Some of the kids portraits differ more than the others, but we're not going in to details about that, since this is already so long.... They all make the experience so exciting and special with everything they bring. We wish we could have seen the production so many times so that we could focus on each and everyone.
Miracle outfits: Hortensia is dressed as a ballerina, in a pink outfit similar to Lavender's in the RSC production. Lavender wears a black silky dress and big sunglasses. Amanda wears a long,white, fluffy dress with flowers in different colours. Nigel and Tommy wear suits, Nigel has a white one and Tommy a black one. They also wear matching sunglasses (Nigel and Tommy are siblings in this number) Bruce wears a blue, more traditional suit and a crown. Emma (who is his sister in this number) wears a red dress, white stockings and a red diadem. Alice and Eric are also siblings here, and they are dressed in a traditional scottish/british countryside riding style, with grey/brown tweed jackets. Alice wears a skirt and Eric wears puffy pants and checkered socks. Eric wears a cap and Alice a beret.
Hairstyles: In Miracle both Hortensia and Lavender wear big top buns. Amanda has a lower bun, Alice has a braid, Emma's hair is let out and curly. Most of the boys have water combed hair.
For the rest of the show Hortensia wears pony tails, Lavender and Alice both have braids, Emma's hairstyle is similar to her Miracle style. Amanda has pigtails, of course (not a wig).
The kids wears grey school uniforms with a crunchem hall logo (not the same as in the RSC production) The logo is also incorporated in the school gate. The girls all wear the same type of dress and everyone wears white shirts, black ties, white knee high socks and black shoes.
For Phys Ed they wear black shirts with the logo in white and black knee high sports socks. The girls wear skirts and the boys shorts.
The adult ensemble: The adult ensemble play a bigger part in this production. The big school kids are much more involved in the school scenes and the dance routines. We have already mentioned that the adult ensemble is bigger in this production. Sometimes, they're all on stage together and sometimes not all of them are in certain scenes. For example, the ensemble members who play the russians are not a part of Revolting Children (at least no on stage, they sing along backstage)
There are more females than males in the adult ensemble, which you can hear during the songs. Especially in School Song and Chokey Chant. They're all very strong performers and they make a fantastic ensemble with great harmonies and tight and sharp dancing.They have excellent chemistry and really good at playing creepy (both as school kids and as the russians)
They wear almost the same type of uniforms, but the big girls don't wear dresses, they wear skirts instead. The big boys socks are not knee high. Their phys ed outfits are the same as the small kids.
Miss Trunchbull: This Miss Trunchbull is very similar to the RSC one. David is fantastic in the role, especially in the more comedic scenes. His facial expressions are out of this world. He is also a very physical actor, the way he acts with his body in the newt scene is fantastic. Twitching, bending his body in weird angles and running around in panic... David's Trunch loves mocking Miss Honey and the students, and she repeats what they're saying in a hilarious way. Especially during the spelling test scene. Malmö Opera is located in the Swedish province Skåne and all the kids speak the accent skånska (some more than others) Skånska is a really famous accent here, everyone recognises it and pretty much everyone can speak a bit of fake skånska. One of the Hortensia's has a very strong accent, and after she says: “You can't put us all in chokey” Trunch mocks her by imitating her accent perfectly. (David speaks with another accent as Trunch) This Trunch is also very patronising. When she talks to people or say their names, she talks as if they are really far beneath her and are not worthy of her time at all.
When David speaks he sounds a bit similar to Bertie Carvel.... His singing voice is stunning, so strong and clear. Occasionally, he lets the notes go on for a bit longer. Especially at: “Don't let them take them away” in The smell of rebellion.
Trunch's costumes are very similar to the RSC Trunch in style and colour, but the socks are more of the athletic kind. She does not wear a hoodie for phys ed, but she wears a long sleeved shirt instead of her jacket. The year on the shirt is 1971 instead of 1969 (it has been changed because 1971 fits better with the rhythm of the song) and she wears a belt with medal on it. She has changed out of her heels for phys ed and wears black trainers instead. She also wears a different skirt that isn't as tight. Underneath her skirt she wears big, white underwear with flowers on.
Mr Wormwood: Mr Wormwood is also quite similar to the RSC one. Michael is equally fantastic... It's hard to talk more about Michael's portrayal, because we have mostly focused on the difference from the RSC production... It's not that his portrayal isn't memorable, because it definitely is. He is amazing in this role. We could easily see him play Mr Wormwood in the West End. Just like David, he is also very physical, but in a different way.... When he yells at Matilda, he often comes really close to her and screams in her face. When he mocks Matilda, his voice goes up and sounds squeaky, like he is impersonating her.
Mr Wormwood's outfits is more casual in this production, He wears a light green suit, blue skirt, blue socks and blueish grey loafers with gold chains. Instead of a hat, he has a white cap with “Wormwood's luxury cars” printed on it. He also wears some jewellery, like a necklace and a bracelet.
Mrs Wormwood: Mrs Wormwood is still mean in this production, but more stupid than mean. She is quite daft and out of it. She often has a confused look on her face. It seems like Åsa's portrayal is inspired by the participants of housewives reality shows.. She plays her part amazingly and portrays a lot of different moods in the same scene: Confusion, anger, hurt, annoyance, disappointment...to name a few. She doesn't yell/speak as loudly as the RSC's Mrs W. She drawls while speaking, when she is upset her voice is more squeaky. She also seems to dislike her husband even more. She sounds genuinely hurt by some of the things he says to her. She also laughs at and mocks her husband occasionally.
She seems very distant and cold towards Matilda, both mentally and physically. When Matilda tries to come close to her, she shoves her away and there always seem to be quite a lot of space between the two of them. She doesn't seem very fond of Mr Wormwood or Michael either, actually. The only person she seems to like is Rudolpho.
Mrs Wormwood has a lot of different outfits throughout the show. She starts out with a bodysuit with a pink fur jacket on top. During the first family scene she wears a light green dress. For Naughty she puts on a nightgown on top of her dress. The nightgown is used for the beginning of Loud, underneath it she wears a light pink dress with neon green and neon yellow details. For Telly she wears a longer fluffier dress. Later she wears fishnet stockings, a top, panties and her fur jacket on top of it. In this scene she has her hair rolled up under a hair net. She finishes off with a flamenco style dress.
Michael: This Michael is very different from the West End/Broadway Michael. He is more present in this version. Michael sits up in the couch, listens to his parents and interacts with them.
He is mostly in his own little world though, so he might not really understand what's going on. He seems content and kind of happy with that, smiling proudly every time he is acknowledged. Michael usually has his headphones on and wanders around without direction.
Michaels costumes are based on Mr Wormwoods, he wears the same colour scheme as his dad. Michael wears a polo, shorts with suspenders, a Wormwoods luxury cars cap, (backwards) high socks and loafers.
Rudolpho: Oscar is a fabulous dancer and he can bend and twist his body in so many ways. He is also an amazing performer, his stage presence is something else... He and Åsa have an amazing connection, their chemistry is so good. Oscars Rudolpho is hilarious and a real drama queen... Sure, Rudolpho is very dramatic, but this one is extra dramatic. Everything about him is big, his gestures, movements...
Rudolpo has shorter black hair in this production. He wears a black, tight ballroom costume. For the last scene, he wears black, tight pants and an unzipped matador jacket without a shirt underneath it.
Sergei: There's something very likeable about this Sergei. It's hard to explain exactly what it is though... But we connected much more with this productions Sergei than we've done with the RSC ones. He seems really genuine and you can really see his depth.
Jonas really makes Sergei his own and it's great to see. It's great to watch him with the Matildas and how they interact with him. Sergei is dressed almost completely in black. Black shoes, pants, a mostly black coat (it shimmers a bit in dark blue/grey). Black sunglasses and a black fur hat. He also carries a black fancy cane. He occasionally uses his cane to emphasize certain words and getting his gang to listen, by banging the cane on the floor.
The biggest difference between the productions is that Malmö opera's version have more moments where the characters are happy, or at least are able to smile and show a happier and more relaxed side of them selves. This gives the show a slightly different feel, but we like it. It makes the transitions between the lighter and darker scenes (and even the moments) even more poignant. This direction lead to a deeper relationship between some of the characters, we especially loved the added moments between Mrs Phelps and Miss Honey. Marianne and Linda have such a wonderful chemistry, you could tell how much they love working together. As we have already mentioned, Mrs Phelps and Matilda have a deeper relationship too. It’s so lovely to see Mrs Phelps together with the Matildas. It’s really clear how much she loves and cares for Matilda, and Matilda loves her back just as much. Seeing them happy together and smiling is both beautiful and heartbreaking. Because when the scene and the mood changes, you just feel so bad for Matilda.
It’s lovely to see all three of them together, interacting and being happy in the ending scene. They’re all so sweet together and you can really feel the love and happiness between the three of them, they really are like a family.
In conclusion, we really loved this production and thought it did justice to the original. Thanks for reading all of this. Again, if you have any questions or want to know more about something, just post your question here or send either of us an ask @veilingofthesun @askyfullofcomets

Thor: Love and Thunder (Taika Waititi, 2022)
Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Christian Bale, Tessa Thompson, Taika Waititi, Russell Crowe, Jaimie Alexander, Idris Elba, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Sean Gunn, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper. Screenplay: Taika Waititi, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. Cinematography: Barry Baz Idoine. Production design: Nigel Phelps. Film editing: Peter S. Elliott Tim Roche, Matthew Schmidt, Jennifer Vecchiarello. Music: Michael Giacchino, Nami Melumad.
Critics were kind of meh about Thor: Love and Thunder, but I found it one of the less wearying of the entries in the superhero comic book sweepstakes. Aside from the unnecessary episode with the Guardians of the Galaxy, it zips along through the narrative challenges and nicely balances the love with the thunder. Chris Hemsworth is one of the most engaging actors stuck in the action genre, especially when Taika Waititi is giving him opportunities to play the goof. Christian Bale turns Gorr into one of the more complex Marvel villains, and it's good to see Russell Crowe loosen up and have a ball playing Zeus. I have mixed feelings about Natalie Portman's performance as Jane: She does a good job playing the diminutive foil to Thor, but I never felt the necessary chemistry in their love affair. Thor seems more enamored of Mjolnir than he does of Jane. I don't know why Waititi needed to reprise the gag of the actors -- Luke Hemsworth, Matt Damon, and Sam Neill -- playing Thor, Loki, and Odin, this time adding Melissa McCarthy as Hela; it only overloads an already bloated excursion into Thor World.
