I made a rainbow, there's this thing going around to put a rainbow in your window for kids to spot on the allowed walk, I live on the third floor so it's unlikely that anyone will see it, but it was something to do for a few minutes.

We've got a rainbow drawing on our office wall that my colleagues kids drew to cheer us up. It's very sweet.

Don't know if this is of interest to folk. Sad to say, I have a box-set of ALW musicals. In mitigation, my mum was getting rid and I rescued them.


Andrew Lloyd Webber is to stream a selection of his musicals online for free starting with Donny Osmond in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

The closure everywhere of theatres has led to an unprecedented range of initiatives to get plays and musicals out to people in new ways.

At 7pm on Thursday night the National Theatre will start its ‘at home’ programme with a broadcast on YouTube of its hit comedy One Man, Two Guvnors starring James Corden.

Lloyd Webber said he would also use YouTube to stream some of his shows. It begins on Friday 3 April at 7pm with a 1999 film of the stage show, directed by Maria Friedman and starring Osmond as Joseph, Richard Attenborough as his father Jacob and Joan Collins as Mrs Potiphar.

A week later, on Good Friday, the show will be the 2012 arena production of Jesus Christ Superstar with Tim Minchin as Judas, Mel C as Mary Magdalene and the radio DJ Chris Moyles as Herod.

Further productions in ‘The Shows Must Go On’ series will be announced in due course.

The Guardian meanwhile will stream archive content from Hampstead theatre, currently Mike Bartlett’s 2016 Edward Snowden-inspired thriller Wild. It is available until 10pm Sunday 5 April.

For anyone who likes art (glad to see they've put my membership fees to good use 🙄 Saves me asking for a refund):

Tate is to release free online tours of two major exhibitions that closed early because of the coronavirus lockdown.

Tate Modern’s Andy Warhol show and Tate Britain’s Aubrey Beardsley show were on the list of must-sees for many art-lovers. They both opened in early March to positive reviews before closing when the galleries abruptly shut down on 17 March.

On Thursday Tate said curators had made filmed tours of the exhibitions after the closure, but before current restrictions were implemented.

It is making its tour of the Warhol exhibition, which features more than 100 works across his career, available on its website and YouTube channel from 6 April. A tour of the Beardsley show, the biggest one for 50 years, will go up a week later on 13 April.
 
@The Bronze - you might enjoy this. @Priceless - as might you. I'm not going - I'm washing my hair. I'm a lousy drinker. Instead of getting pissed I just get more pissed off with people. 😠

Oh look - an emoji with a mask: 😷 What does an emoji know that the Minister for Health doesn't?

Fancy a pint at the Red (On)Lion? The real ale organisation Camra has created a virtual pub to recreate the atmosphere of the real thing and help tackle loneliness and social isolation during the lockdown and closure of the UK’s pubs.

We've created a virtual pub where people can get together to help tackle social isolation while the nation’s pubs are closed. The Red (On)Lion is a video platform where anyone can enjoy a chat over a pint.

That's a good idea
Honestly, I can't wait until we will be able to cool down a bit with the social distancing thing and be allowed to attened small gatherings (like family members), it's starting to take it's toll.

I also believe that psychologists will have their calendars significantly fill up after things calm down, this will eff people up and some will probably have PTSD...

The being able to find a legit reason to avoid family members is a plus for some people.
 
Just a thought for those worried about this season in farming because we can't find enough migratory workers:

I went and met up with as many people as I could during the first two weeks of March as I didn't know what was going to happen, good thing I did that.

Guess I'm more social than I thought I was. Or maybe it is the uncertainty of it all getting me.

@nigthshade Probably not, she scares people off 😛

There's also a version of the Importance of Being Earnest.
I know that the Johnny Lee Miller/ Benedict Cumberbach version of Frankenstein got filmed - so Sherlock and Sherlock and so did the David Tennant/ Patrick Stewart version of Hamlet which a lucky work colleague got to see. So hopefully they'll get released at some point.
 
By the way does anyone know a good quiz or series of them online. Me and my mates used do a pub quiz on Thursday, last week we logged onto Kahoot but a lot were a bit too difficult had too much geography for my taste or were too easy. Also ones that don't involve American sport would be great.
