Review: That Is Not Who I Am, Royal Court

Review: That Is Not Who I Am @royalcourt Looks what happens when you're not really on Twitter anymore... "a pointed reminder of what happens when you're too online"

That Is Not Who I Am proves an enjoyably twisty thriller at the Royal Court, which perhaps aptly you’ll enjoy more or less depending on how online you are… “Just cos it’s in your imagination doesn’t mean it’s not real” Having taken myself off Twitter for personal purposes (I only tweet reviews these days), the whole brou-ha-ha about the Royal Court’s That Is Not Who I Am had completely passed me…

Boston, MA; September 14, 2017 — An ensemble cast of some of Britain’s hottest talent will portray the determined and passionate characters behind the daily news at two fictional, competing newspapers in Mike Bartlett’s (Doctor Foster, King Charles III) drama series, Press for MASTERPIECE on PBS and BBC One.

Charlotte Riley (King Charles III, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell) will play the News Editor of fictional broadsheet, The Herald and Ben Chaplin (Apple Tree Yard, The Thin Red Line) will play the Editor of fictional tabloid newspaper, The Post while Priyanga Burford (London Spy, King Charles III) will play The Herald’s Editor. Paapa Essiedu (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Royal Shakespeare Company’s Hamlet) will play The Post’s newest reporter and Shane Zaza (Happy Valley, The Da Vinci Code) its News Editor; while Ellie Kendrick (Game of Thrones, The Diary of Anne Frank) will be a junior reporter; Al Weaver (Grantchester, The Hollow Crown) an investigative journalist and Brendan Cowell (The Young Vic’s Yerma, Game of Thrones) the Deputy Editor at The Herald.

They will be joined by David Suchet (Poirot) who will play the Chairman & CEO of Worldwide News, owner of The Post.

Press will be directed by Tom Vaughan (Victoria, Doctor Foster) and produced by Paul Gilbert (Humans).

Writer and Executive Producer Mike Bartlett said: “I’m so happy to be working with the incredible Tom Vaughan again, and the talent of this amazing cast make me feel like the luckiest writer around. Press is a series packed full of stories and now we have the very best people to tell them.”

Set in the fast-paced and challenging environment of the British newspaper industry, Press will immerse viewers in the personal lives and the constant professional dilemmas facing its characters. The series follows their lives as they attempt to balance work and play, ambition and integrity, amid the never-ending pressure of the 24-hour global news cycle and an industry in turmoil.

Charlotte Riley said: “I am delighted to be working with Mike Bartlett again, and with Tom Vaughan on a truly brilliant piece of writing. Mike is a phenomenal storyteller and I am excited to be part of this project.”

Faith Penhale, Executive Producer for Lookout Point said: “It’s a real thrill to be working with such an exciting group of some of Britain’s best actors. They are each individually, gobsmackingly talented, but together, and with Mike’s stunning scripts, they will create something extraordinary.”

Rebecca Eaton, Executive Producer for MASTERPIECE said: “News, fake news, business and politics have long been bedfellows – now more than ever. Mike Bartlett understands how to make all this real and immediate.” MASTERPIECE is presented on PBS by WGBH Boston.

Piers Wenger, Controller, BBC Drama said: “The newspaper business is part of Britain’s identity and Mike’s gripping stories of crusading journalists in this ever-changing industry, brought to life by this brilliantly talented cast, make for a fresh, thrilling and utterly British contemporary drama.”

Press is a Lookout Point, BBC Studios, Deep Indigo production, co-produced with MASTERPIECE, for BBC One. Executive Producers are Faith Penhale and Mike Bartlett for Lookout Point, Bethan Jones for BBC Studios, Nigel Stafford-Clark for Deep Indigo, Mona Qureshi for BBC One and Rebecca Eaton for MASTERPIECE. International Distribution will be handled by BBC Worldwide.

Press begins filming in London in October and will broadcast on BBC One in 2018. Press will air on MASTERPIECE on PBS following the UK broadcast.

NO TIME TO DIE (2021)

Starring Daniel Craig, Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Ralph Fiennes, Christoph Waltz, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Billy Magnussen, Ana de Armas, David Dencik, Rory Kinnear, Dali Benssalah, Lisa-Dorah Sonnet, Priyanga Burford, Brigitte Millar, Paul O'Kelly and Gianni Calchetti.

Screenplay by  Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Cary Joji Fukunaga and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga.

Distributed by United Artists. 163 minutes. Rated PG-13.

To give you an idea how much the world has changed, in 2021, James Bond has become a retiree who is infatuated with the idea of being a doting family man. He is no longer a suave lady killer in a smart tuxedo, hanging in casinos and having his martinis shaken, not stirred. Our new, woke Bond wants to be a one-woman man, and his heart is melted by a five-year-old moppet.

Sean Connery would be shocked.

Actually, Bond did fall totally in love once before – to the point that he was willing to think of forever after – in an earlier chapter of the series. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service – the one Bond film starring George Lazenby as 007 – actually had him getting married before his new wife was murdered by his arch-nemesis Ernst Blofeld. No Time To Die even pays tribute to this earlier, lesser-remembered Bond film, playing that earlier film’s theme song (“We’ve Got All the Time in the World” by Louis Armstrong) over the end credits – which I believe is a first for the series.

The Bond in No Time to Die may be a kinder, more sensitive guy with a license to kill, but he still has his share of thrilling adventures. The last film of the Daniel Craig era of 007, No Time to Die brings this chapter of the Bond saga to a close in an elegiac, mostly stirring and rather dramatic way.

Of course, people don’t go to a Bond movie for melancholic nostalgia, so the question remains – do the action sequences hold up?

For the most part, yes. Shockingly, this is the longest Bond movie ever (two hours and 43 minutes!), but the time mostly goes by quickly. There are the evil geniuses, hidden lairs, gunfights, bombings, car chases and derring-do that are expected of the series, as well as the pithy quips and gorgeous locations.

Of course, the main villain Lyutsifer Safin (Rami Malek) doesn’t show up until well over an hour into the film. (Well, he does briefly seem to appear in the opening frame sequence, but he is in disguise.) And, honestly, the detached, affected way that Malek plays (or overplays) the role does the film no favors. He seems to be channeling Peter Lorre.

Much of the rest of the film is an extension of the action from the last Bond film, Spectre. In an early sequence, Bond is happily involved with that film’s heroine Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux). He has quit the secret service and has basically gone off the grid. Most of his former co-workers don’t know if he is alive or dead.

While traveling in Italy with Madeleine, they are attacked by what appears to be a group of Spectre agents. Bond is led to believe that he has been betrayed by Madeleine and he cuts all ties. While she is tangentially involved – due to a childhood incident which is flashed back to at the very beginning of the film – she may be innocent. Then again, maybe not.

Flash forward five years, and Bond is still living his retiree life – mostly traveling and golfing – when his old American friend Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) asks him for help in an operation in Cuba which has to do with a chemical weapon which is specialized to kill only specific genetic codes and is highly transferable. When that goes spectacularly wrong Bond must come in from the cold to help his old team figure out what is going on and who is killing Spectre agents all over the world.

Part of the answer to the secret may lay with his nemesis Blofeld (again played by Christoph Waltz from Spectre, in a glorified cameo). And to get to Blofeld, he must deal with the one person who the imprisoned supervillain will speak to, Madeleine, who Bond hadn’t seen since that long-ago day in Italy.

No Time To Die wraps up the Craig years of the Bond series pretty definitively. And while the character is left in a bit of a precarious position (to say the least) at the end, the final words in the end credits are “James Bond will return.” Only time will tell who will be playing him.

David Oyelowo

David Oyetokunbo Oyelowo ( oh-YEL-ə-woh; born 1 April 1976) is an English actor and producer. His highest-profile role to date was as Martin Luther King Jr. in the 2014 biographical drama film Selma. He also took the lead role in A United Kingdom (2016) as well as playing the role of a chess coach in Queen of Katwe (2016). He has played supporting roles in the films Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011), Lincoln (2012), Jack Reacher (2012), and garnered praise for portraying Louis Gaines in The Butler (2013). On television, he played MI5 officer Danny Hunter on the British drama series Spooks (2002–2004).

Early life

Oyelowo was born in Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, to Nigerian parents. His father is from Oyo State, Western Nigeria while his mother is from Edo State, Southern Nigeria. He was brought up as a Baptist. He grew up in Tooting Bec, south London, until he was six, when his family moved to Lagos, Nigeria, where his father Stephen worked for the national airline and mother for a railway company. David attended a "'military-style' boarding school." They returned to London when Oyelowo was fourteen, settling in Islington.

While enrolled in theatre studies at City and Islington College, his teacher suggested that he become an actor. Oyelowo enrolled for a year in an acting foundation course, at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). He finished his three-year training in 1998. He also spent time with the National Youth Theatre.

Career

Stage

He began his stage career in 1999 when he was offered a season with the Royal Shakespeare Company playing roles in Ben Jonson's Volpone, as the title character in Oroonoko (which he also performed in the BBC radio adaptation) and Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra (1999) alongside Guy Henry, Frances de la Tour and Alan Bates. However, he is best known for his next stage performance as King Henry VI in the Royal Shakespeare Company's 2001 productions of Shakespeare's trilogy of plays about the king as a part of its season This England: The Histories. In a major landmark for colour-blind casting, Oyelowo was the first black actor to play an English king in a major production of Shakespeare, and although this casting choice was initially criticised by some in the media, Oyelowo's performance was critically acclaimed and later won the 2001 Ian Charleson Award for best performance by an actor under 30 in a classical play.

In 2005, he appeared in a production of Prometheus Bound, which was revived in New York City in 2007. In 2006, he made his directorial debut on a production of The White Devil, produced by Inservice, his theatre company in Brighton which is co-run with fellow Brighton-based actors Priyanga Burford, Israel Aduramo, Penelope Cobbuld, and his wife, Jessica. He played the title role in Othello in 2016 at the New York Theatre Workshop with Daniel Craig as Iago, directed by Sam Gold.

Television

Oyelowo is best known for playing MI5 officer Danny Hunter on the British drama series Spooks (known in North America as MI-5) from 2002 to 2004. He had before that appeared in Tomorrow La Scala (2002), Maisie Raine (1998) and Brothers and Sisters (1998). Soon after the end of his time on Spooks Oyelowo made a cameo appearance in the Christmas special of As Time Goes By (2005). In 2006, he appeared in the television film Born Equal alongside Nikki Amuka-Bird as a couple fleeing persecution in Nigeria – they also both appeared in Shoot the Messenger (2006), and in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (2008) as a husband and wife. Other cameos have included Mayo (guest-starring on 30 April 2006) and the television film Sweet Nothing in My Ear (2008, as defence attorney Leonard Grisham), while he has played recurring or main characters on Five Days (2007) and The Passion (2008, as Joseph of Arimathea).

In December 2009, he played the leading role of Gilbert in the BBC TV adaptation of Andrea Levy's novel Small Island. In March 2010, he played the role of Keme Tobodo in the BBC's drama series Blood and Oil.

He starred in the HBO original film Nightingale (2014).

Voice acting

He appeared as Olaudah Equiano in Grace Unshackled – The Olaudah Equiano Story, a radio play adapting Equiano's autobiography, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano. This was first broadcast on BBC 7 on 8 April 2007, with his wife Jessica Oyelowo as Mrs. Equiano.

In 2007, Oyelowo was the reader for John le Carré's The Mission Song. AudioFile magazine stated: "Think of David Oyelowo as a single musician playing all the instruments in a symphony. That is essentially what he manages in this inspired performance of John le Carré's suspense novel.... Can it really have been only one man in the narrator's recording booth? This virtuoso performance makes that seem impossible." In 2015, he was selected to portray James Bond in Trigger Mortis, written by Anthony Horowitz.

As of 2014, he provides the voice of Imperial Security Bureau agent Alexsandr Kallus on the animated series Star Wars Rebels.

As of 2017, Oyelowo voices the spirit of Scar, the main antagonist in season 2 of The Lion Guard.

Oyelowo is set to voice the Tiger in a television adaptation of The Tiger Who Came to Tea which will air on Channel 4 for Christmas 2019.

Film

In 2012, Oyelowo appeared in Middle of Nowhere. Writer-director Ava DuVernay had been a fan of his work and had considered asking him to take the role, however before she could, Oyelowo received the script coincidentally from a friend of a friend of DuVernay's who happened to be sitting next to him on the plane and was considering investing in the project. The film premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival to critical raves. That same year Oyelowo appeared in Lee Daniels' The Paperboy, which competed for the Palme d'Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. Oyelowo reunited with Daniels the following year in The Butler.

In 2014, Oyelowo formed his own independent production company, Yoruba Saxon Productions which has co-produced movies that featured him including, Nightingale, Captive, Five Nights in Maine, and most recently, A United Kingdom.

He worked with his Middle of Nowhere director Ava DuVernay again for Selma (2014), playing civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. The film, based on the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches, had originally been set to be directed by Lee Daniels, but the project was dropped by Daniels so he could focus on The Butler.

He is slated to star with Lupita Nyong'o in a film adaptation of the Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie novel Americanah. The story follows a pair of young Nigerian immigrants who face a lifetime of struggle while their relationship endures.

In February 2019, it was announced that Oyelowo had joined the Peter Rabbit cast with James Corden, Rose Byrne and Domhnall Gleeson reprising their roles as the title character, Bea and Thomas McGregor for its sequel due to be released in April 2020.

Awards and honours

For his portrayal of Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma, Oyelowo received the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture. He received his first Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama, while also receiving a nomination for Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Actor.

Also in 2014, for his performance in Nightingale, he won the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actor in a Movie/Miniseries and was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie, Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Miniseries or Television Film, NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Television Movie, Mini-Series or Dramatic Special and a Satellite Award for Best Actor – Miniseries or Television Film.

Oyelowo was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2016 New Year Honours for services to drama.

Personal life

He is married to actress Jessica Oyelowo, with whom he has four children. They live in Los Angeles, California.

A devout Christian, Oyelowo has stated that he believes God called him to play Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Reflecting on his portrayal of King in the film Selma, Oyelowo has asserted that "I always knew that in order to play Dr. King, I had to have God flow through me because when you see Dr. King giving those speeches, you see that he is moving in his anointing."

Oyelowo and his wife became naturalized US citizens on July 20, 2016.

Oyelowo is an omoba (or prince) of the kingdom of Awe, Nigeria, a part of the Nigerian chieftaincy system. He commented, "it was useful for getting dates but probably not much else".

The Winter’s Tale, Globe 2018 review Review of The Winter's Tale at Shakespeare's Globe added (FOLLOW THE LINK). A lopsided production. The serious bits in Sicily are much better than the pastoral comic bits in Bohemia.

The Winter’s Tale, Shakespeare’s Globe

(written for a writing test, hence the lack of swearing and incoherent squee)

It’s never not going to be funny seeing something described as a ‘winter’s tale’ in the blazing sunshine. (three people next to us had to leave due to the heat)  Previous productions I’ve seen have fully embraced the concept in the first act,  from furs to Christmas trees, setting up for the quickly oncoming atmosphere of a chilly and austere Sicilia.  Here, however, the court of Sicilia is outfitted in a creeping-towards-Turkish Mediterranean style which certainly segued with the heat, while Bohemia plumped for modern European.

This Sicilia was not austere nor chilly; at the beginning it was jovial and the marriage of Leontes and Hermione happy.  However, even within this Will Keen as Leontes showed an anxiety and twitchiness in how fast he spoke and the jittering of his hands that eventually descends into the full-blown paranoia that fracture his marriage and court as he becomes consumed by it.  In many ways, this first act was marked by the righteous anger of women; Hermione’s disbelief and anger at her accusation and treatment, Priyanga Burford alternating between trying to keep distress at bay when with her son and disbelieving anger at being falsely accused.  Then came Sirine Saba as Paulina, a performance of such towering rage that you were in danger of being scorched by her eyes.  It’s a tribute to Will Keen that he managed to give the impression that he’d been so consumed by his paranoia that not even this could affect him as all around shrank from it.  As ever, part of the Globe experience is how much the audience gets caught up by the play and the society onstage; when Leontes tears up the Oracle’s edict, they gasped in shock and disbelief that he would discard something of such import.

The second half was sunbaked and scatty and joyous, everyone kitted out for Glastonbury or Reading festival and Becci Gemmell’s Autolycus charmed and bamboozled the audience and shepherds as she conned her way through life, pleasingly genderfluid as she gleefully flitted from one role to another.  The young lovers were sweet and caught up in the flush of young love, with this Florizel less cynical and calculating than usual, where his love for Perdita is more an act of defiance towards his father than a diversion.  Annette Badland, in her first appearance at the Globe, deserves special mention as Perdita’s adoptive parent. Although she hadn’t quite managed the projection required for the Globe, she proved her comedic talents effortlessly.  Possibly the only disappointment of the show was the bear; here a banner that collapsed with a bang which completely dispensed with any sign of a physical threat that even the shabbiest bear suit conveys.
