HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022!

 

SIR.WILFRID ROBARTS

 

"Jonathan Firth is brilliantly enigmatic...."

 "...from the Broadwayworld.uk https://www.broadwayworld.com/westend/article/BWW-Review-WITNESS-FOR-THE-PROSECUTION-London-County-Hall-20211001

"...Jonathan Firth is brilliantly enigmatic as Vole's defence lawyer Sir Wilfred Robert QC and Miles Richardson is probing and disparaging as prosecutor Mr Myers QC. Both actors embrace the melodrama of the courtroom setting. They are completely convincing as intelligent and experienced barristers and their vocal tussles are both credible and compelling..."

and 

"...But it is the legal and personal battle between the two barristers that drives the courtroom scenes. Their examining and cross examining of the witnesses delivers much of the tension that build up through the play. Miles Richardson is forceful as prosecuting QC and is contrasted by a more amiable defence QC, played by Jonathan Firth..."

Albert Schweitzer online

I've found today the full movie "Albert Schweitzer" from 2009 on youtube. It's a nice quality, and it's in English.

Some people can't stand even the thought of spending their workdays behind a computer screen all day, chained to their swivel chair —I’m one of those people. Week 5 of working from home is over, and I’m starting to miss my human colleagues. Seeing them on a computer screen is different.

I’ve found today this picture of Jonathan smiling, and that 

cheered me up.

Stay well!

Happy Birthday, Jonathan!

Dear Jonathan, I hope you are doing well despite such difficult circumstances. Have a wonderful birthday. I wish your every day to be filled with lots of love, laughter, happiness and the warmth of sunshine. Be healthy and take care of yourself.

Yours,

Ksenia

"The Waringham Chronicles"

I wrote about "The W.C" in December. I didn't know that this project is so huge. 

Besides Jonathan, there're a lot of other actors working on this audio drama series. Volume 1 of The Waringham Chronicles will be released in a week, on 30th of January. 

Barnaby Edwards, director of this audio drama, said that it'll be the world's biggest ever audio drama. They're still recording it. The last Volume will be out in the end of 2020.  

The length of Volume 1 is 11 hrs and 20 mins. Can you imagine that?
