» Review: Hedda Gabler

Rosamund Pike’s Hedda is a cruel and beautiful beast. As she stalked the stage with flickering eyes, her power-crazed motives were thinly veiled, but her beauty so alluring that all fell under her spell. It was a magnificent performance, matched by Robert Glenister’s Tesman, the spoilt man-child awestruck at winning her as his bride. His jabbering enthusiasm and hopelessness balanced Pike’s controlling frigidity. As Judge Brack, Tim McInnerny effectively held back the lascivious nature of his role until near the climax. Colin Tierney’s Lovborg was manic and desperate. Anna Carteret as Aunt Juliana was the voice of unquestioning compliance and tradition. Together they built a dense, claustrophobic atmosphere that allowed Ibsen’s portrayal of a society on the edge of moral melt-down.

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
