• This has been an incredibly exciting start to the year. I kicked things off with the January play, which will probably get it's own write-up soon, and as I write this I am home in Scotland for the first time in almost a year preparing for the touring play. I honestly don't think I've had a period of back-to-back work like this since I started acting professionally.

• Pluribus
Without a doubt a brilliant show. The first episode makes for an incredibly effective horror story on its own, and might be one of my favourite single episodes of TV ever. Whilst I don't necessarily agree, I can see some people disappointed by the focus on concept rather than character development. I'll be really interested to see how this show ages.

• I Am Legend - Richard Matheson
  I revisited this book mainly because it's a quick read, but also because it's been almost a decade since I first picked it up and wondered if my feelings towards it had changed. The first time I read it I did something I had never done with a book before, I immediately started at the beginning and read it again. I don't necessarily feel the need to do that again, but that's mainly because my feelings haven't changed: the book kicks ass.

• The Highland Citizenship Test - Colin Bramwell
  For anyone who knows Colin Bramwell, calling him an incredible poet goes without saying, but The Highland Citizenship Test contains work that, instead of moving you, emotionally tackles you to the ground. I often find myself neglecting poetry, but this collection reminds me what's waiting for me if I'm willing to slow down.
