Sir Patrick Stewart in Macbeth

From the PBS website:

Following a London West End run in December 2007, a sold-out limited engagement at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in March 2008, and a subsequent eight-week run on Broadway, director Rupert Goold’s gripping stage production of Macbeth was filmed for television at the end of 2009.

The co-production between WNET.ORG and Illuminations Television, in association with the BBC, stars Sir Patrick Stewart in his triumphant, Tony-nominated performance as the ambitious general, and Tony-nominated Kate Fleetwood as his coldly scheming wife.

The production, though retaining the Goold’s exciting concept of relocating the bloody action to a nameless 20th-century militaristic society, has been rethought in vivid filmic terms. The movie, marking Goold’s cinematic debut, will be presented on PBS as part of the Great Performances series Wednesday, October 6, at 9 p.m. (check local listings).

If this is anywhere near as good as the performance of Hamlet they ran earlier this year, we're in for a real treat!

The 10th Doctor and Captain Picard do Hamlet

From the PBS website:

Shakespeare’s immortal “To be, or not to be” takes on a whole new meaning (and medium) as classical stage and screen actors David Tennant and (recently-knighted) Sir Patrick Stewart reprise their roles for a modern-dress, film-for-television adaptation of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s (RSC) 2008 stage production of Hamlet. The production will be presented on PBS by the Great Performances series on Wednesday, April 28, 2010, at 8 p.m. EST (check local listings)

The eleventh hour

Shout out to Space, the Canadian TV station hosting Doctor Who. According to the website, they'll be starting the new season, featuring Matt Smith, starting this Saturday! (And hopefully, they'll continue to host the episodes online as well.) [h/t: The Doctor Who Blog]

Also from The Doctor Who Blog:

Season Fnarg of Doctor Who premieres on Space on 17 April, and for every person who doesn’t watch it, a unicorn will die. It’s in good hands here in Canada, and your blogger for one would heartily encourage all those reading this to support it at its new home for as long as its new home is happy to support it.

I had the good fortune to watch Matt Smith in Party Animals when it aired on TVO and I'm confident he'll do brilliantly in his new role!

For those who are interested, Matt Smith was interviewed by Jian Ghomeshi on CBC One yesterday. You can find the podcast here (Matt Smith starts about the 20min mark):

Mabel's Labels product summary

The Writer's Tale

"The Writer's Tale" is a book I'd like to get my hands on. From the BBC website:

For this revised and updated edition of The Writer's Tale, Head Writer and Executive Producer Russell T Davies and journalist Benjamin Cook continue their in-depth discussion of the creative life of Doctor Who to cover the last of Russell's specials, as well as the increasingly successful Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures spin-offs. Candid and witty insights continue throughout a second year’s worth of correspondence, covering David Tennant's final episodes as the Doctor, Russell's own departure from the show, and the legacy that both leave behind as a new era of Doctor Who begins.

With over 300 pages of new material, and taking in events from the entire five years since the show’s return in 2005, The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter is the most comprehensive - and personal - account of Doctor Who ever published.

SFX has a great post up about "20 Things We Learnt from The Writer’s Tale: The Final Chapter." Things that raised my eyebrows were comments about the possibility of a Torchwood musical and thought of “the Doctor on board the Enterprise, puncturing all that Starfleet pomposity with this sheer Doctor-ness.”

Anyone out there know when this publication is coming to Canada?

How long vs how hard

This sentiment comes to us from Julie Cole's post on "Getting Organized for the New Year":

"The other problem with holding onto sentimental items is the longer you have them, the harder they are to part with."

As a mother of six and co-owner of Mabel’s Labels – Labels for the stuff kids lose!®, you can bet that Julie knows how to be organized!
