hat would you do if you came face to face with your favourite celeb? Will did just that recently when he encountered Hollywood star Zac Efron at the premiere of 17 Again. Turn to his column to find out whether he made an impression (p8). If, like Will, you have a thing for Zac, in our film section the young actor discusses what it was like to play a dad-turned-young (p24). Don’t forget every week we have the chance for you to win a pair of tickets to a film of your choice. If you love both the cinema and the stage, Theatre Royal Brighton has the best of both worlds coming next week with a live version of Brief Encounter straight from the West End. See our cover feature on page 15. If you’re still feeling in a nostalgic mood, Latest Art’s Jeff Hemmings has news of a striking exhibition of photographs by Thurston Hopkins at the Charleston Gallery, documenting the strengthening mood of post-war Britain (p26). On the same page, our in-house comedy expert Victoria Nangle looks forward to a fun and eclectic three weeks of comedy and cabaret in Brighton Festival Fringe. Comedy is just one thread of the brightly woven fringe programme. There’s also music, dance, family events, theatre... On his stage page, Andrew Kay unravels one of the highlights – a play about Sylvia Pankhurst in Brighton’s Old Police Cells (p23). On our competitions page (p6), you can win tickets to one of this year’s most exciting fringe venues – St Andrew’s Church in Hove, run by Fletch Productions. Of course, there’s plenty going on outside the fringe; such as the Martlets Midnight Walk and the Spirit of the Millennium Festival. See our events feature on page 18. We also have tickets to the London Golf Show up for grabs (p14). Our big interview is with 90s favourite comic Richard Herring (p11), who talked to Victoria about his new show which dissects the meaning of adolescence. And if that gets you reminiscing about being a teenager, why not follow Will’s example and go to see 17 Again this week?

SEANN’S WORLD | XWORD 05

Seann

Seann Walsh looks at the power of words, and how the lazy use of speech is bad for society

The impotence of speech ords are underrated. So much of what we say is taken for granted, replaced in importance by how we say it. Body language is important. It only takes a phone conversation to realise that. We have all become stuck before in the linguistic quicksand of our own inarticulacy, unable to convey what we mean without some gesture or other. Similarly, the written word illuminates the significance of tone and delivery. When we’re deprived of them by emails, texts and things such as this article, many paths to nuance become uncrossable. Take as an example this sentence: “I really like skateboarders.” It throws the responsibility to you, the reader. Suddenly, it’s down to you to detect the attached irony and interpret the sentence’s true meaning. If I were to speak it, I’d suddenly have the luxury of body language and tone of voice, which I’d use to convey the irony with far more clarity. I’d use tone of voice to say it as sarcastically as possible, and body language to hit a skater

with his board. Then you would know for sure that I do not like skateboarders. So, the value of non-verbal communication is undisputable. Some people, however, seem determined to exaggerate it. People say that 90 per cent of communication is non-verbal. I challenge anyone who actually believes that to communicate it non-verbally. The preference of gesture and tone over words mirrors the widespread cultural movement in favour of presentation over content. It’s the sort of lazy, unanalytical attitude that excuses the worst in political manipulation, vacuous advertising campaigns and all

“We have all been stuck before in the linguistic quicksand of inarticulacy”

the other cultural phenomena that favour style over substance. If we attached more importance to words themselves, we would not be swayed by meaningless slogans, such as the advert for crisps that tells us to ‘Let flavour unfold’, as if that’s somehow profound because a woman whispers it over images of the fresh ingredients that the

manufacturers have attempted to imitate. Crisps are fried slices of potato with salty powder on them. The flavour doesn't unfold: it makes your breath smell. Words deserve better. Barely a conversation goes by where we don’t contradict ourselves, or fill sentences with unnecessary extras. Some of the stock phrases we use are pretty much abusive to the idea of meaning. This occurred to me recently when I used the saying, ‘I saw it with my own two eyes’. Only in a culture that undervalues words would we wish to specify not only the organ with which we see, but also how many eyes we have, as if that’s a piece of information people are likely to forget. ‘I saw it’, is not an ambiguous sentence. If I had said that alone, no one would have replied, “But what with?” I didn’t see it with my own two knees; nor did I see it with someone else’s two eyes. I thought all that with my own one brain, and even said it with my own one mouth. The person I said it to wasn’t fully convinced that it was worth saying. Trampling on language, he said (and I quote): “I kind of agree, but I also sort of don’t.” Contradiction, eh? Can’t live with it; can’t live without it.

DEFINITELY DANI 07

Dani hen I was at school each term there seemed to be a new fashion craze. They generally came so thick and fast that by the time I had managed to get my mum to find me one, the next would be ‘happening’; leaving my trousers with attached skirt defunct and unfashionable among my 11-year-old peers. Had I been at school now, the fashion craze would certainly have been cheap enough for me to partake in seeing as I already own more than one of the item in question. But I can honestly say that even though I own the items already, there is no way I would wear them to make a fashion statement or to match my peers. In all honesty I would be the only child at school that looked on in dismay as the rest of the girls strolled around in their pyjama bottoms. Yes you heard right, if you haven’t seen it yet you will. And if you have seen it, do you think

Dani is pondering pyjamas and dog poo, there’s just too much of both in town

it is slightly strange? I would quite like someone to explain the point in it. The girls that tend to be wearing pyjama bottoms have enough foundation on their faces for five people, they clearly take time with their appearance albeit a somewhat orange appearance, so why complete the outfit with the trousers you slept in? The first time I noticed the fad was a year ago, but it was a pregnant woman who was wearing the pyjama bottoms, I presumed that was because the waistband was nice and stretchy, but then her friend walked over who was not pregnant and she was wearing them too – was the friend following the pregnant lady or the pregnant lady following fashion? I can’t get my head around where this fashion craze started? Did no-one realise that if you wear light coloured ones you can see right through them? Did someone get dressed in the morning and forget to change

Green green grass? Another question I would like answered is why dog owners (not all but some) will pick up their dog poo when it lands on a pavement but not when it lands on any grassy area? Does the fact that it is on grass make it okay to leave and if so, why? If you go for a walk across any form of green open space you end up with a neck ache from spending the trip looking at the floor to save you stick scraping when you get to the other end. If you don’t like the idea of picking up dog poo, don’t get a dog!

“Did someone forget to change their trousers?”

their trousers? Or was it a stunt by Primark to get the sales of their pyjama bottoms up? Or maybe it is a cheaper and easier craze to partake in, perhaps that is behind the success of it? It turns out I am not the only person confused by this bizarre fad, if you type ‘pyjama bottom fashion craze’ into a Google, pages will appear in which others are questioning this strange craze. It seems it is sweeping the country not just the south of England. Everyone has seen someone popping to the local shop in their slippers and possibly pj bottoms and baggy jumper, but how did it become the ‘thing’ to dress your top half like you‘re off out for a night on the town and your bottom half as if you are just about to get into bed? How do you decide what shoes to wear with your pyjama bottoms? I wear new shoes in by prancing about with them on at home, and a majority of the time that will be while wearing pyjamas, but I just wouldn’t wear that anywhere other than inside the walls of my house. If you are a frequent wearer of pyjama bottoms as a fashion statement I hope I haven’t offended; I would just like to know how this started!

08 CITY SPEAK

Alison o, I was going to give up drinking for a month. All part of the get fit, lose the fat for the pending horror that is me cycling the 54 miles from London to Brighton on Sunday 21 June. After two days, I realised the folly of my plan. Me – and the fact that everyone I know drinks. Well, I live in Brighton so that isn’t difficult. It is a sport here. I’m amazed we haven’t got ourselves a section at the Olympics: we’d have some sterling support from Glasgow, and the rest of the country would be sure to want to join in. Like how everyone suddenly starts playing tennis for two weeks a year when Wimbledon is on. We’d have some heavy competition from the Russians though. I learnt to drink in France. Obviously I had had a few drunken adventures as a teenager, which usually ended the night with me staring down into a toilet bowl. But it wasn’t until I moved to France that I got into the joys of stubbies (little bottles) of light French lager and the joy of l’ hypermarché, which housed walls of wine that stretched on forever. I was also particularly impressed that I could buy wine in a petrol garage. A real old-school

Alison Swann‘s plan for a month-long detox is unexpectedly scuppered one, not a flashing-lights-with-an-M&S-inthe-middle jobbie. The last time I stopped drinking for more than a week I was trapped on a houseboat in the Himalayas. By the end of that week I was half a stone lighter and a hell of a lot clearer mentally. I tried a sober evening out recently with friends and a pregnant mate, who obviously wasn’t drinking. I was being supportive and stuck to the lime-and-soda option as the first hour of an after-work drinks evening primed itself for the night. The first half-hour was fine. After an hour, and with the booze starting to get into said friends’ veins, and it’s like the volume has been turned up. Everyone is getting louder, harsher and less entertaining. They‘re repeating the same thing over and over again. Jesus! Is this what I am like when I have had a couple of drinks? What on earth am I like after an evening on the wine? Do I turn into someone with the mental ability of a retarded baboon? But that’s obviously part of the fun. I lasted a week. Then my mother decided to come and visit – for a week. Rioja anyone?

he thing that strikes me as I take those first hesitant steps out onto my first red carpet is how much better the view is from the outside. The screaming crowds behind the barriers at the Zac Efron premiere have flocked here to witness the circus of modern celebrity, the doe-eyed girls and square-jawed boys set against the gunfire crackle of flashbulbs. Having been given the rare privilege of standing on the inside looking out, I’m nothing short of terrified. Nadia, my plus one for the evening, is having a whale of a time, blowing extravagant air kisses to the crowd before pointing at me and screaming “Oh my God, it’s Rhydian!” in an attempt to lure the waiting paparazzi. I, on the other hand, am treating the whole experience as some sort of horrific ‘Nam flashback, sweating in a non-existent jungle heat and ducking low to avoid the thrum of imaginary helicopters descending overhead. “Save yourself, man!” I want to shout at Nadia, as the crowds loom ever nearer. “Take this necklace of human ears and get out of here!” And then, snapping me out of my probably inappropriate daydream, there is Zac. The leading man. The American dream. Effortless in a tailored grey suit, he strides

“Everyone I know drinks. I live in Brighton so that isn’t difficult – it’s a sport here”

across the red carpet looking every inch like he owns it, his Hollywood smile out-dazzling even the brightest of the cameras. He is, without exaggeration, flawless. As Nadia and I take our seats in the cinema (somewhat showing ourselves up by getting inappropriately overexcited about our free popcorn), I catch sight of the British ‘celeb’ contingent a few rows down. They include: X Factor reject Diana Vickers; X Factor rejects Same Difference; Coronation Street strumpet Roxanne Pallett; two boys I’m told were once in Hollyoaks; and Brian from Big Brother. And that’s it. The great and good of ‘Cool Britannia’. I find it unsurprising the British slebs are looking so sheepish, alongside the blazing supernova that is Zac Efron, their own stuttering stars have been reduced to little more than tea lights in a stiff breeze. And I’m as patriotic as the next man, but it strikes me then that perhaps the Americans are just better at these things: Zac versus Brian; Oprah versus Trisha; Barack versus Gordon even! We Brits are world-class in a lot of respects but being ‘cool’ – it strikes me, as I join all the other grown men screaming like girls and clamouring for pictures of Zac on our camera phones – surely ain’t one of them.

Burlesque for success

Phil Mills reports on the latest victories in the war on drinkrelated behaviour problems

Booze bother down booze blitz has resulted in 120 people a month being shown yellow warning cards for drink-related misbehaviour in Brighton and Hove. And, since the campaign’s launch last year, a total of 14 people have been given red cards, banning them from 150 city centre bars and clubs. The city council has joined in by refusing drink licences for a supermarket, a takeaway and two off licences. Police said the accumulative result has been impressive: assault causing injury has dropped from 166 in 2005/6, to 151 the year after and 152 last year. Assaults involving less serious injury were down 24 per cent in three years, from 2,979 in 2005/6 to 2,191 in 2007/8. And the Royal Sussex County Hospital has seen assaults outside the home fall 13 per cent from 2004/5 to 2007/8, and the numbers of adults treated for the effects of binge drinking is also down. Hardly surprising then that Brighton and Hove has been named as a national centre of excellence for managing drinking and licensed premises in city centres. The council, police and other local partners have together won government Beacon Status for managing the night-time economy. Council officials say success was based on a range of measures including better transport, providing alternatives to drink, working with young people and firm enforcement. City authorities scored well for various innovations to manage the impact of licensed premises and the effect they can have on public safety and law and order. Among local measures that impressed the judges were: • Closing rowdy pubs and banning troublemakers from bars. • Football-style red and yellow warning cards for troublemakers, threatening pub bans. • Special all-night buses to disperse crowds quickly • Safe Space – a drop-in centre in West Street for distressed young people. Drink remains a major problem, but Sussex Police said similar crackdowns and seizures of drink from youths around the county are producing positive results.

“The Royal Sussex County Hospital has seen assaults outside the home fall 13 per cent”

One of Britain’s most up-andcoming interior designers has revealed one of the secrets of her success: a love of burlesque. Emma Saxby has carried out décor makeovers for stars including Brighton-based 2004 US Open golf winner, Michael Campbell, and former world boxing champion Chris Eubank. She has also worked for jockey Richard Dunwoody. Next on the list is expected to be glamour model Katie Price, who wants a redesign of her Surrey home. Emma, ranked among the UK’s top rising stars in The Observer, admits her love of burlesque is a major influence in her work. “It is feminine, flamboyant and unreal, and I often design home interiors that are like that,” said the 34year-old, who organises burlesque charity balls from her home in Hove. “When my clients walk into their homes I want them to feel like they are stepping through the wardrobe into Narnia, into a world of fantasy and the fantastic.” Emma is proud of her links with Brighton’s past: “I am a fourthgeneration Brightonian. “My greatgrandmother ran the catering at Brighton Station [designed by a

Saxby], one set of my grandparents ran Barlow’s coal merchants, and the other set were publicans at the nowdemolished New England Tavern – which is where my mum and dad met. “My parents, uncles and sisters are mostly entrepreneurs, mainly in cars and property and I am very proud of my family’s hard work and success.” Mostly self-taught, Emma works from her home where she lives with her two sons, Max, nine, and Oliver, 12. She was behind the designs at Toast Champagne in Church Road, Hove, and a Grade I Listed building in Brunswick Square, which features on Emma’s website and will form her entry in the forthcoming Sussex Heritage Awards.

Latest Sport Roundups and rumblings from the Latest Sport bunker Help for Heroes We’ve unfortunately become all too accustomed to hearing about the loss of British troops in recent conflicts. However, we don’t hear about the men and women seriously injured in the line of duty. This is where ‘Help for Heroes’ comes in. Help for Heroes (www.helpforheroes.org.uk) was launched in October 2007 by a group of friends and relations of services personnel who wished to do something to help the wounded coming back from Afghanistan and Iraq. They are strictly non-political and accept that wars happen under any government; they simply want to help, relying on the kindness of strangers to raise funds. On 1 May I’ll be showing my support for this great cause by donning my hiking boots and trekking approximately 1,100 miles from Land's End to John o'Groats – living out of my hiking bag all the way! If, like me, you’d like to make a difference to the lives of injured servicemen and women, I would greatly appreciate your support. We may not be able to prevent our troops from being wounded, but together we can help them get better. You can sponsor me by visiting my online fundraising page at www.justgiving.com/eds-h4h-trek or follow my progress at eds-h4h-trek.blogspot.com. If you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving also makes sure 25 per cent in Gift Aid plus a three per cent supplement are added to your donation. Thank you in advance for your kindness.

Off to a tee Latest Sport offers you the chance to win tickets to a major golfing show he London Golf Show is returning to ExCeL, London Docklands, from May 1-3 for its fifth outing and will once more offer everything in golf under one roof. Ryder Cup star Lee Westwood was among the thousands of golfers to attend last year’s event and was impressed with what he saw. “The show has been great. From a golfer’s point of view it is terrific because they get to see all the equipment under one roof and actually give it a try,” Westwood says. “I’ve enjoyed having a go at the 100ft putt, although my attempt on the putting green was abysmal.” Visitors to the 2009 show will have just as many chances to swing a club, with a host of interactive features on offer, and some fantastic prizes to be won. The golfing bonanza will offer everything golfers’ hearts desire including big brands, customfitting, a huge indoor driving range, a massive American golf store, and celebrity appearances.

Tribute to Jade Dear Dani, I read your article (issue 417), it was lovely and was so correct. It will help so many others think about what she had done. I saw her in such a great light [so] I didn’t follow it too much as I didn’t agree with it at the time, but read bits and saw bits on the TV. It was so upsetting in the end. Tamara Downer

Love supreme Straight from the West End, Kneehigh Theatre Company present Brief Encounter ollowing their sensational success at The Haymarket in the West End, Kneehigh Theatre Company present one of the most memorable and heartbreaking love stories ever told. Noël Coward’s enchanting play tells the story of Laura, a middle class housewife in the 1930s, who is struggling with her repetitive life. Returning from one of her weekly excursions she gets a piece of grit in her eye and is helped by a passing doctor. Enjoying each other’s company, the two arrange to meet again but to their surprise they find their innocent and friendly relationship rapidly developing into love. The production follows the couple as they embark on a furtive, yet dreamy, affair. While staying true to Coward’s original storyline, ten actor musicians recreate the world of Milford Junction with film, music and words. When you enter the auditorium the cast are there to greet you, playing music to welcome their audience and immediately taking you back to a bygone age of romance and the silver screen. This interactive piece is played in the auditorium, on-stage and through pre-recorded film clips by the superb cast who sing, play musical instruments and dance – as well as act. This nostalgic and glamorous mix will make you feel as if you have stepped back into Coward’s enchanting world, guaranteeing a uniquely theatrical evening that has left both audiences and critics overwhelmed by emotion, laughter, tears and praise for this exceptional production. You are assured a night at the theatre you will treasure forever. Brief Encounter, by Noël Coward, Tuesday 21 to Saturday 25 April Theatre Royal BrightonTickets priced £15–£26 are available from Theatre Royal Brighton box office on 08700 606 650 (bkg fee) or online at www.theambassadors.com/brighton

16 ANDREW KAY’S FOOD & DRINK

Food & drink Andrew Kay finds Circa cooking for a short season at La Marinade

Well rounded I

n darkest Kemp Town there is a restaurant called La Marinade that is normally run by chef Nick. Very good it is too, a real local delight. But Nick has gone away on his hols and, rather than shut up shop, he has asked an old mate to stand in for him in his absence. Which is why Circa has its name outside for the next few weeks. Circa originally broke ground in Lewes a few years back. It was brave and original, and garnered many excellent reviews, including one from me. Then last year they left Pelham House, where they had moved to, and concentrated on event catering. It would always put a smile on my face at any party if I saw Mark from Circa choreographing the canapés. Now they are taking a chance to promote what they do and help out an old friend. And I was there like a shot, accompanied once again by my old mucker Mr L. Unsure of what to expect, we were more than delighted to find a compact menu of five starters, five mains and four puds, and all for the startling sum of £15 a head. Well, there is a recession so the wise money is backing the bargain set menu right now. But let me make it clear, there was nothing bargain basement about the fare on offer. To start, there was a substantial amuse bouche, miniature fish and chips with tiny allumette and breadcrumbed crayfish tails in a tiny wooden boat, cute and delicious. That took the tally up to four courses in my book. Mr L quickly settled on a blue swimmer crab porridge with shaved bonito. I love shaved bonito, it looks alive, as if it is waving you farewell as you lift it to your mouth. The porridge itself was mainly crab meat and simply delicious. I was, I have to say, pretty envious. I chose the tandoori whitebait, which I loved. They were crisp and light, served with a yoghurt dressing and a cucumber salad that packed a perfect hit of chilli. And there was just the right amount of

“Let me make it clear, there was nothing bargain basement about the fare on offer”

little fishes to feed me, too many whitebait and they can start to repeat on you. Mr L moved happily on to a lamb rump that had him an raptures of delight, waffling on about “rich and dark but still sweet and tender as a fillet steak” and such like. I have to say it did look delicious and the lollipop-like lamb sumac kofta looked amazing too. Sweet potato and goats’ cheese butter had him oohing and aahing all the way to puds. I chose a beef rib with Korean hasselback potatoes and a corned beef pesto. It also had a bulgogi jus, which involves sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil. Complex stuff all told, but pulled off with a sure hand. And what a piece of beef, well trimmed and cooked to the exact point of perfection. The greens on top were also robust and bitter, matching the sweetness of the sauce well. The potatoes were sculptural, tasty too, but definitely art. I mopped up every last morsel from my plate. To finish, MR L chose Sussex cheese and received three hefty chunks of perfect specimens with oatcakes and a fat slab of membrillo. “How nice to get cheese and not smears,” he commented, and he was quite right. I chose a dark chocolate terrine but only because it came with cherry cola ice cream. I know, perverse, but so tempting. And I loved it: absolute bliss. This is a short season in which they will highlight their work as caterers, but simply not to be missed – get there fast.

Best foot forward for charity

Festival of feeling hits Hove

The Martlet’s Midnight Walk for Ladies is a great way to raise money and have fun!

Get ready for the Spirit of the Millennium Festival at Hove Town Hall

The annual Martlets Midnight Walk for Ladies will take place on Friday 19 June. The 13 mile walk around the city will start, and finish, at Brighton Racecourse and is the hospice’s biggest annual fundraiser – in 2008 over £150,000 was raised. Walkers must register in advance. The registration fee is £10, each walker receives a Midnight Walk Tshirt, breakfast at the end and a souvenir medal. The walk is professionally marshalled and is sponsored by a number of local companies. Antonia Shepherd, event manager at the hospice, said: “ The Midnight Walk has proved really popular. It’s a walk not a race and many of the participants feel a real sense of achievement completing the course. Many people walk with family or friends or as teams. Many walk in memory of a loved one who may have been cared for at the hospice or by the Martlets@Home team. Others believe in the work of the hospice and use the Midnight Walk as an opportunity to raise much-needed funds to enable us to maintain our services. There was a real party atmosphere at last year’s walk and we hope to capture that magic again. Ros Tovey is taking part in memory of her friend Marion, who died earlier this year at the hospice. “Marion loved walking and was a great supporter of the hospice. I know she would have wished to have been remembered in this way.” Register online for the 2009 walk at www.themartlets.org.uk Registration forms can be obtained from www.themartlets.org.uk, by calling 01273 747455 or from the hospice shops in Brighton, Hove, Saltdean, Peacehaven and Lewes.

Spirit of the Millennium is a mind, body and spirit festival coming to Hove Town Hall in May. The one-day event features top-class mediums, clairvoyants and astrologers. A variety of luxury, pampering treatments are available on the day including reflexology, Indian head massage, aromatherapy, Thai yoga massage and more. The festival is also the place to purchase unusual gifts as traders will be selling crystals, books, CDs, jewellary, natural health products and arts and crafts. There’s also the opportunity to have an aura photo taken with the amazing colour aura-camera, complete with an explanation of what those colours mean. Talks and demonstrations take place throughout the day. Unwind between events with refreshments in the organic café. Come along with family and friends and share a new experience. Spirit of The Millenium 2009, Mind Body Spirit Festival, Sunday 31 May 2009, Hove Town Hall, Norton Road, 10.30am–7pm, £2.50, under 12s free.

Stretch it Pain in the back? You don’t have to live with it, writes Zara Baker t’s reported that five million of us visit our GP each year with back problems. Many of us put up with a niggling ache that’s always there, perhaps not experiencing enough pain to raise concern. This week is National Chiropractic Week (13–19 April), meaning it’s time to face the issue and defuse the ache. Lifestyle plays a huge role on back pain. While genetics can come into the equation too, daily wear and tear is the most influential factor. Like an annoying tooth ache, it should not be ignored. Pain killers and creams may help ease the pain, but if it’s simply masking the problem, it’s time to see a chiropractor. If your job is active and involves lifting, damage to the spinal structure may be caused over time. Alternatively, one lift of a box may suddenly put out your back. Remember the golden rule to lifting: bend with the knees, keeping the back straight. At the other end of the work spectrum is if you you spend most of the day seated at a desk. Take regular breaks, moving and stretching your body. Avoid hunching your shoulders sitting over a keyboard and ensure your chair supports the small of your back when seated. An awareness of posture in everyday routines can help improve and prevent back pain. Our lifestyle impacts on our health and wellbeing directly. Pregnant women may experience back pain as they carry about the extra weight. People who are overweight can experience this too, as an extra toll is taken on the body. A simple exercise plan and diet recommended by your GP can improve your lifestyle and ease back pain that may have been ‘put up with’ before. Exercise such as yoga is ideal, with posture and alignment focused on. Stress can also be reduced – another common cause of backache. Make National Chiropractic Week the time you make changes to your lifestyle. For effective results without drugs or surgery, a chiropractor can help relieve pain. Joints, tendons, nerves and ligaments are focused on, in particular those in the spine, working to reduce pain and improve the individual’s lifestyle as a result.

YOUR WEEKLY GUIDE TO WHAT’S ON 14 – 20 APRIL Under review Here’s our roundup of recent local shows, plus there’s oodles of reviews online at www.thelatest.co.uk

Orchestra Baobab This legendary African/Latin band was formed in 1970, the brainchild of then Senegalese Government ministers. More than thirty years on and with a few changes in the line-up and about 20 years off during the 80s and 90s, they are still touring. Dressed sharp, the band took to the stage and immediately looked at ease. I counted three pairs of leather trousers, some

super flamboyant African shirts and one of the sax players wearing ‘MC Hammer’ pants! The Dome was soon filled with their warm sound. One or two of the band members were shaking out some dance moves and generally having fun with the crowd as they played. Still legends today, well worth seeing.

Gethsemane David Hare's spin on ‘spin‘ has a far deeper routed message, which is about belief, faith or even blind faith. The script, occasionally clunky, is on the whole a precision weapon. But as ever a precision weapon is only really powerful in skilled hands, otherwise it is merely dangerous. The National Theatre production is sublimely skilled and delivers an evening of provocative thought, wrapped in a sugar coating of blissful entertainment. There is no weak link in the entire endeavour. Hare's hatred of ‘the press’ even had the press roaring in self-recognition while squirming in their seats. A chillingly penetrating night at the theatre. Theatre Royal, Brighton, 31 March

Hot review of the week Robin Ince People are not as stupid as we are led to believe, says Robin Ince. His wild and unashamedly geeky rants are a case in point. This twohour show, roughly-themed around politics and religion, had the audience rapt. It‘s rare to see a comedian take on these targets without striking a didactic stance – but Ince‘s finely-timed asides are too irreverent to ever be right-on. I guess it‘s also rare for a comedy set to feature a musical interlude by the likes of Philip Jeays, a fantastic Jacques Brel-styled tragicomic crooner. Nevertheless, both men have the wit to match their passion, and the result was equally hilarious and inspiring.

Tag Comedy Tag Comedy is a fantastic format – four circuit level comics brought together to share one set, tagging each other off stage when they want to take over a topic in the manner of verbal tag wrestlers. The creator of the show, Stephen Grant, wasn’t in the house, leading to a less rapid pace of tagging, but the general feel of competition for the laughs and survival of the fittest was ever-present with Ian Stone and Simon Evans stepping up as the clear daddies of laughter. This is always a banker for comedy.

STAGE 23

Suffrage revisited Top of the bill The imprisonment of Sylvia Pankhurst staged in Brighton’s Old Police Cells

A talk on the Theatre Royal Brighton’s illustrious history

quaremoon return to the Fringe with their compelling brand of new writing. Performed in the atmospheric Old Police Cells, Nourish takes us on an unfettered journey into the imprisonment of suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst. George Bernard Shaw is quoted as saying: “There are only two opinions about Sylvia Pankhurst. One was that she was miraculous. The other was that she was unbearable.” In 1913 women across the country are fighting for the right to vote. As the movement spreads, the government’s clampdown becomes ever more brutal. Despite the government’s public denials, mental and physical torture becomes standard in the treatment of women prisoners. Arrested for activism, Sylvia Pankhurst is cast into Holloway Prison. In protest at her unjust imprisonment she goes on hunger strike. This is the story of Sylvia Pankhurst’s five-week strike from food, water, and finally, sleep. Passionate, idealistic and ahead of her time, Sylvia Pankhurst charmed and infuriated the British elite in equal measure. Her determination to help others regardless of class, race and sex alienated her from her celebrated family, and tested her health and sanity to their limits. Based in Brighton, Squaremoon Ltd is a theatre company intent on creating incisive, entertaining and intelligent theatre. Previous productions include Lucy (co-produced with the National Youth Theatre, 2006), The Cow Play (South East tour 2007), and Total (Brighton Festival Fringe 2008). Nourish will be on at The Old Police Cells Museum, Brighton Town Hall from Tuesday 12 May until Saturday 16 May at 7.30pm. The show runs for approximately one hour. Tickets are available from the Brighton Festival Fringe, visit www.brightonfestivalfringe.co.uk, or call 01273 709709.

hy not join Julien Boast, chief executive of Theatre Royal Brighton, and Wendy Walker, senior archivist for the East Sussex County Council Archive, for a talk on the Theatre Royal Brighton’s illustrious history, and to discuss the book 200 Years, which features a fascinating collection of theatre playbills spanning 200 years of productions at this much-loved theatre? All are welcome to this free event, which will includes a complimentary glass of wine. Julien and Wendy will host a question-and-answer session after the talk, and the remaining limited copies of the book, some signed by actor Simon Callow, a patron of Theatre Royal Brighton and writer of the book’s foreword, will be on sale at a specially reduced price. Marcus Bagshaw of Borders Books says: ‘‘The Theatre Royal Brighton is undoubtedly one of the most historic and best-loved theatres in England. The book 200 Years illustrates beautifully the rich pageant of shows and performers that have played to Brighton audiences throughout that time. Borders Bookstore, Brighton are very excited and proud to be promoting the book, which will be the focus of a special Borders event that no theatre lover can afford to miss.’’ Borders Books, Churchill Square, Brighton, Thursday 23 April, 6.30pm–7.30pm.

L7 lowdown What’s on this week

17 Again (12A) Dir: Burr Steers Be careful what you wish for – hilarity may ensue if an older mind occupies a younger body. So say the comedy rules that brought you Freaky Friday, Big and Vice Versa. Another chance to prove them comes when Matthew Perry is so fed up with his thirtysomething life he wakes up as teen pin up Zac Efron, and tries to recapture his youth once more. Showing at Odeon and Cineworld I Love You, Man (15) Dir: John Hamburg Peter (Paul Rudd) is so loved up with Zooey that he wants to marry her. Everyone – ahhh. But he’s got no bessie mates to act as Best Man and goes on a quest to find one. Only problem with this is that his new ‘bromance’ with Sydney (Jason Segal) is so much fun he hardly sees that lil’ ol’ girl of his dreams any more. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Dragonball: Evolution (PG) Dir: James Wong A live action version of the manga series created by Akira Toriyama. Young Goku is out to find Master Roshi (Chow Yun-Fat) and the seven mystical balls before mega baddie Lord Piccolo (James Marsters) gets his mits on them. Fab. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon Monsters Vs Aliens 3D (PG) Dir: Rob Letterman, Conrad Vernon The latest 3D animation to come from DreamWorks sees a wee girl (Reese Witherspoon) zoomed up into a 49’1’’ mega sprog. Taken into a top secret government compound with residents that include Dr Cockroach (Hugh Laurie) and other monsters, their talents are in hot demand when aliens try and take over the Earth. Showing at Cineworld and Odeon

The Boat That Rocked (15) Dir: Richard Curtis The latest from the barn of comedy known as Richard Curtis’s mind. Set in the Sixties this is the tale of the trials and tribulations of one pirate radio station on a boat that fought ‘the man’. With a motley crew led by The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman) this is another delightful ensemble comedy. Showing at Cineworld, Odeon and Worthing Fifty Dead Men Walking (15) Dir: Kari Skogland Jim Sturgess stars as Martin McGartland in this film based on his autobiography as a British spy within the IRA in the 1980s. Working his way up the ranks from volunteer, raising the risk to himself each day to report to his British handlers, this is a dramatic tale of a man still in hiding today. Also starring Sir Ben Kingsley and Rose McGowan. Showing at Duke Of York’s Let The Right One In (15) Dir: Tomas Alfredson This Swedish horror questions how much we will forgive for new love, as bullied 12-year-old Oskar finds his new friend, the pale and mysterious girl Eli, gives him the strength to stand up to his tormentors. However – and this is a big ‘but’ – she’s got secrets of her own he must reconcile with. Showing at Duke Of York’s and Odeon Rachel Getting Married (15) Dir: Jonathan Demme Anne Hathaway was Oscar-nominated for her turn here as Kym, returning home for her sister Rachel’s weddings, bringing with her loads of family baggage, darkly comic one-liners and a knack for bombshell drama. Plus a great ensemble cast to remind us of all of the pitfalls of family gatherings. Showing at Duke Of York’s

FILM 25

I don’t want to say her name but I still remember her. I’m never going to forget that. There just are things like that – getting Matthew Perry called out by one of your teachers in front of the whole class. Public speaking in high school’s a nightmare. I was actually alright because I was doing musical theatre, but some people would literally get the shakes and not be able to talk in front of the class. It’s very unnerving.

Coming of age

You just turned 21. What was your party like? It was, I mean, a 21st birthday party. I had a lot of close friends and family. It was probably pretty low key for a 21st birthday party, I imagine. But it was a lot of people that I had never seen

High School Musical star Zac Efron on growing up in new film 17 Again What made you want to make 17 Again your next film? Honestly, there was an opportunity when I read this script that I recognised. There were so many roles post High School Musical that were just high school stories. They were regular high school characters. They were dealing with high school romance and high school scenarios and high school drama. In 17 Again, I had an opportunity to play a 37-year old man, which is someone I can in no way relate to. And that seemed more interesting. I got a chance to play my father, really. That seemed like more fun. It seemed like the less obvious choice. And I had a blast doing it, so I’m glad that it came through. Can you talk about observing Matthew Perry and Matthew Perry observing you playing him? Director Burr Steers was telling us that he would work with you to help you get his mannerisms. Yeah, all the time. Matthew’s face is very specific and his

“I’d probably change a million things if I could go back” mannerisms are very specific. He’s got, I don’t know, a built-in culture that was fun to try to find with him and Burr. He was always available on the phone, and I could call him and just ask, ‘What should I do here? I’ve got three things that I might try.’ And he would say, ‘Go with the first one.’ Or he would just point out things to remember: ‘Now, remember here that this is the most important thing that’s ever happened to you.‘ He would give advice. So, I was very grateful to Matthew for that actually. I owe him a lot.

I’d probably change a million things. If I could go back, I’d just pat myself on the back and be like, ‘Dude, you’re out of here.’ And you’re out of here in no time, honestly. It felt like forever. High school feels like you’re stuck there for an eternity. And the whole time you have to deal with all these strange social interactions because you’re trapped with all these kids your own age that are so different than you.

If you had a chance to go back to high school, would you change anything about it?

Who was the prettiest girl in your school? The prettiest girl in my school?

Win cinema tickets to a film of your choice at the Odeon Brighton For a chance to win this week’s tickets, answer this question: What character did Matthew Perry play in the hit sitcom Friends? Email your answer to competitions@thelatest.co.uk with ‘17 Again’ in the subject box, or write to us at the address on page three. Closing date for entries is Monday 27 April. The winner will get a pair of tickets to see a film of their choice. Proof of age may be required.

in the same room before, so I was very excited to have that. There were probably about 60 people, something like that. Close friends, friends from high school, friends from L. A., friends that I met from different projects. Burr and Thomas [cast member Thomas Lennon] were there. It was an interesting crowd. Do you feel older than you are sometimes? Yeah, I think a little bit sometimes. From a very young age I got along with adults. Do you ever wish you were older? Maybe at times. But I’m also very young at heart, I think. I still have fun. I still have fun doing very young things, like watching cartoons in the morning! Catch Zac Efron in 17 Again, showing at Odeon and Cineworld now.

26 STAND-UP COMEDY | ART

A laughing matter Victoria Nangle is amazed by the many splendrous comedy formats of the Fringe

ontext is everything. Whether it’s the punchline of a joke, reference to your surroundings or simply the evening’s format. Once context has been established there’s a trust that it’s set up for the duration and the evening’s entertainment will be contained within these parameters. If someone’s putting on a series of comedy sketches and then switches to stand-up this transition is usually announced, to re-assure the audience. After all, you trust whoever has the mic as the tour guide to your evening and if they don’t know what’s happening next who will? Bring on the flying monkeys and the anarchy! Which is why, in these days of mixed format entertainment nights, it’s good to know exactly where you stand in the map of the evening’s journey.

“In bygone times this map would have appeared in the form of printed boards on a musical stand at the side of the stage...” In bygone times this map would have appeared in the form of printed boards on a musical stand at the side of the stage, announcing a magician, followed by a flame thrower and a scene from As You Like It performed by a collection of rogue dancing bears. Anything could have happened, but at least you knew what to call it. It gave a fluid journey to the night’s proceedings, and if you were lucky you might even have a scrap of paper telling you who was up next handed out by the usher at the door. There is a point to this. Comedy nights are getting more experimental, which is good. Playing around with the format, mixing up different talents, introducing podcasts into the mix and an air of improvisation with guests to an evening’s show. It’s a very exciting time as new formats are introduced or reinforced at the Festival Fringe in May. In fact, there’s so much going on it’s almost liking stepping back into a Music Hall era of old – you knew I was going there. As such I’d like to make a plea to let an audience vaguely know the format of the evening. Without the aforementioned context so much of a performance can be lost. And I want every tiny scrap of all the magical entertainment out there.

Happy snaps Photographer Thurston Hopkins is exhibiting at the Charleston Gallery Moments of Happiness brings together a rich selection of photographs by Thurston Hopkins that capture the revived spirit of British life as it emerged from the austere aftermath of World War II.

Born in London in 1913 and a graduate of Brighton Art School (now part of the University of Brighton), Hopkins is best known for his work in the pioneering magazine Picture Post, which he joined in 1950. During his eight years working for the renowned magazine, he travelled widely on assignment and photographed people all over the world.

Events highlights

John O’Donoghue visits Lewes and explores its long traditional of radical thinking ost people in Brighton think Lewes is either a posh town, all Agas and Barbours, or else a good place to go on Bonfire Night. But there’s a lot more to Lewes than meets the eye. Thomas Paine lived here for starters, before he left for America and revolution. He seems to have left a radical legacy; the Lewes pound, transition town status, and Norman Baker, MP, all form part of a proud tradition that goes back to him.

M Life Centre is appealing for 13to 15-year-olds, their parents or their teachers to write in and nominate schools to take part. Selected school classes will each be assigned a research project and a delegation of four pupils plus a teacher from each invited to the May event.

Junior Whaling Commission Calling all 13- to 15-year-olds looking to make a difference to the marine world! This is your chance to take part in a junior version of the international forum that meets annually to decide the fate of the world’s whales. This is a chance to have a say and tackle the whaling debate yourselves. Delegations from 12 schools will be chosen to attend the twoday Junior Whaling Commission at the London Aquarium on 20 and 21 May. The event will consider the same issues facing the International Whaling Commission, whose annual meeting will take place just weeks later in Madeira. School classes selected to represent each of 12 different UK Sea Life centres will be assigned research projects. Brighton Sea

“With seven events for £20, Lewes Monday Literary Club was great value” This sociable tradition is also at work in the Lewes Monday Literary Club, first founded in 1948 by writers Barbara Willard and Frances Howell. The Club meets every month at Pelham House, once headquarters of East Sussex County Council and now a rather swish hotel. I joined at the start of the current season, back in the autumn. With seven events for £20 it’s been great value. So far I’ve seen Andrew O’Hagan, Daljit Nagra, Katherine Whitehorn, and a few weeks ago I went along to see Nicola Beauman, founder of Persephone Books. On a rather cold evening, about 150 members of the Club turned up to hear Ms Beauman in the chamber where the councillors used to meet. Persephone publish works by neglected women writers: the likes of Katherine Mansfield; Richmal Crompton; Monica Dickens. Before Bridget Jones and chick lit, this was who your mothers and grandmothers read, a canon nearly lost, but which Persephone has rescued from the underworld of obscurity. Nicola Beauman spoke frankly and wittily about setting up Persephone, and answered questions. She gave a masterclass in publishing; in how to take a small press and make it work. Not that it’s so small now. Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Winifred Watson has sold over 100,000 copies and is now a major film. Intelligent marketing and sheer enthusiasm has been the key to Persephone’s success. Rather like the Lewes Monday Literary Club itself, I like to think. Tom Paine takes centre stage at the next meeting, the last of the season. I, for one, will definitely be renewing my subs. Colin Brent, historian, on Tom Paine in Lewes, Pelham House, 8pm, 27 April, £5 non-members. Visit Persephone Books at www.persephonebooks.co.uk.

Lead singer with The Pack, he then found a degree of success with Theatre of Hate, who had a hit with ‘Do You Believe In The Westworld’. Following their demise in 1982, Kirk went on to form Spear of Destiny. Not surprisingly, and perhaps not helped by Kirk’s blonde hair and somewhat European look, Spear of Destiny were, along with New Order and Joy Division, criticised for their name, which has been construed to have Nazi overtones. “Me and Stan [Stammers] went on to form Spear. The name is based on the spear that Longinus pierced Christ’s side with, when he was on the cross, in order to prevent his suffering anymore,” explains Kirk Brandon, long-time resident of the Brighton area. “I originally wanted to call the band Russian State Circus, but they thought Spear of Destiny was better, based on this talisman.” SoD were a commercially successful outfit back in the 80s – World Service (1985) and Outland (1987) were both top 20 albums, and they had a number of minor hits including the brilliant ‘The Wheel’. But for this tour they are resurrecting perhaps their best loved album: 1984’s One Eyed Jacks. “It’s all the rage,” says Kirk of the current vogue for revisiting past works. “We did it last year with our first album Grapes of Wrath, which was great. We can’t decide if we want to do the whole album in the original order or mixed up a bit. But we might even drag in a Theatre of Hate song or two.”

Raising the flag Brighton band British Sea Power will be performing a live score to Man Of Aran, a ‘docu-fiction’ made in 1934 on life on the Aran Islands off the western coast of Ireland. It portrays characters who live in pre-modern conditions and their hardships, documenting their daily routines such as fishing off high cliffs, farming potatoes where there is little soil, and hunting for huge basking sharks to win liver oil for their lamps.

Brandon has suffered from the autoimmune condition reactive arthritis since the late 80s, and for a time he couldn’t walk, but it’s clear that he’s just glad to be doing what he loves: making and playing music. So, how does it feel to be still doing it all this time? “I can’t believe I am still alive,” he says. “Without sounding like some old war veteran, I’ve lost quite a few friends to hardliving and in the past few years I’ve been getting the feeling that I am a survivor.“ Spear of Destiny, 23 April, Concorde 2.

The Virgins Superb New York outfit who are about to unleash their self-titled debut. Perhaps destined to be one of the albums of the year, The Virgins effortlessly embrace new romanticism, new wave, American style college rock, British kitchen-sink indie and the rest. In short, where art-rock meets indie-disco, with Spandau Ballet/Haircut 100 type rhythmic guitar popping up here and there. Live, they are simply great. Tuesday 14 April, Digital Horace Andy & Ashley Beedle Old school reggae and house music merged on their recent collaboration, which they are atempting to play out live. Horace Andy’s music stretches out lyrically on a series of wry, topical commentaries around brotherhood, love and the family, all rooted in his rasta beliefs. Although Beedle is best known for his work with X-Press 2 and for his consistently excellent jazzy and soulful ‘four-to-the-floor’ house music remixes, reggae is a crucial part of his musical DNA Tuesday 14 April, Concorde 2 The Answer Some people don’t want hidden meaning, or sophisticated structures within their music. They just wanna rock out, and the answer to that is in The Answer, of course! Moving on (admittedly, not very far) from where AC/DC left off, this lot are rising to the top of the steaming pile of lank hair, denim and

monster riffs. And deservedly, too; their recent album Everyday Demons is a culmination of an eight year struggle, with their recent support to AC/DC on the European leg of their tour being the icing on the cake. Wednesday 15 April, Concorde 2 Bat For Lashes Brighton’s Natasha Khan plays her biggest local date yet, in support of her new album, Two Suns, the follow up to her critically applauded debut which was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize back in ‘07. There’s a new line up in-store including ex-Ash guitarist Charlotte Hatherly and Ben Christophers. Live, her work becomes a much more visual affair, making up for the lost intimacy now that she is playing the bigger venues. Expect to hear the influence of Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Bjork and Kate Bush. Thursday 16 April, Corn Exchange PJ Harvey & John Parish Blues-rock sorceress trafficking in social politics and dark, tormented song-writing, She dismisses claims that her songs are 100% autobiographical. Not surprisingly, there’s a lot of passion and awe for Harvey, one of the best female ‘rock’ talents to have emerged in recent years. Her new album A Man A Woman Walked By sees her re-united with John Parish, and it’s another successful work. Wednesday 15 April, Corn Exchange PJ Harvey & John Parish

30 MUSIC REVIEWS | CHART

REVIEWS A weekly review of local and national releases he Virgins sound like a soundtrack to Skins but with an 80s slant. There’s a bit of Spandau and Duran mixed in with modern indie sounds on their eponymous debut album. These New Yorkers are quite capable of bringing many disparate elements to the table, for instance the Arctic Monkeys-esque ‘Fernando Pando’ sits easily with the disco gloss of ‘Teen Lovers’. Overall, one of the albums of the year. Brighton’s Gloria Cycles release their third single, ‘Chancer’, another upbeat slice of witty indie, set to a frantic ska rhythm. There’s a little bit of The Clash on this one, while the Dexy’s-style horns of tatters again reminds one that the band are fans of punk and post-punk. Expect their album soon. Punk heroes Siouxie and The Banshees sometimes get ignored in favour of the usual suspects The Clash, Sex Pistols and Buzzcocks, even though the band consistently hit the charts in their 1976–86 heyday, and their first eight albums were all top 20. Their experimental, almost avant-garde sound, particularly in their early days, neatly rubbed shoulders with their more poppy moments such as ‘Christine’. This is all captured on the three-CD Siouxie and The Banshees At The BBC, featuring many of their finest songs, recorded at BBC studios and live in concert for the Beeb. An exhausting, but timely reminder of how good this lot were. Also on the experimental and avant-garde tip were Deutsch Amerikanishen Freundschaft, DAF for short. This German duo took the Kraftwerk template and inserted some extra electro grooves, and for a short period, 1979–82, DAF were supremely cool and cutting edge. Now, some of it sounds a little dated, but still packs a subversive touch. The Best of DAF is being released to coincide with some renewed touring activity. Originally a folksy band, The Broken Family Band seem to have decided that sometimes one needs to just rock out and get that head nodding, and so lead track ‘Please Yourself‘ on new album Please and Thank You, marks a new direction for this American outfit. Loosely made around the woolly idea of ‘being nice to people’ this is, despite the sunny sounds and upbeat grooves, rather mild and middle of the road. It’s a pleasant diversion though…

NEWS

Get involved Anyone who wants to take part in this year’s Pride in Brighton and Hove festival needs to act quickly – there are just six weeks to apply. Deadlines have been set for those who want to enter a float or walking group in the parade on Saturday 1 August, or have a trade stand at the dog show on Sunday 5 July. Applications for both must be in by 29 May. This year’s theme for the procession is Pride Beside the Seaside. Pride spokeswoman Judith Manson said: “Last year’s carnival parade was fully subscribed so we urge anyone who wants to take part to consider their options and submit an application form as soon as possible. We are delighted to be working with Same Sky again on a series of Carnival Parade workshops in June. To qualify, your application must be submitted by Friday 29 May, so you really haven’t got long – the clock is ticking.” Pride festival runs from 25 July to 2 August. Community groups are able to apply for support grants to run events during summer festival week, but they must enter their bids by 1 May. There will also be a free public relations workshop for all LGBT individuals and groups who want to learn about how to publicise their events. The seminar will be run by Steve Bustin from the Pink Paper on Thursday 14 May. To book or to find out more about any of the events, download application forms from www.brightonpride.org or call 01273 775939.

Shout it out An LGBT choir will sing protest and political songs during Brighton Festival Fringe. Rainbow Chorus will bring their show Choral Propaganda to The Old Market in Hove on Thursday 21 May. It is the second year running that the choir has taken part in the fringe. Stephen Watson, member of the Chorus and the designer of their website said: “In this

concert we present protest music, mostly from the 20s and 30s but with a small nod to later years as well. “The struggle for gay rights is part of a wider struggle for human rights and in this programme we will be looking to a wider musical landscape than last year’s fringe performance.” He said some of the same material will be used by the choir at the Royal Festival Hall on 4 May.

Forward steps Stonewall raises £280,000 at its annual charity dinner and prepares for its Brighton equality walk tonewall, the gay rights Maggi Hambling charity, raised £280,000 for its campaigning work at its annual Equality Dinner. The event marked Stonewall’s 20th anniversary and speeches looked back at what the lobbying organisation has achieved and how much needs to be done over the next 20 years. Keynote speaker Cleve Jones, human rights activist, founder of Amy Lamé the NAMES Project Aids Memorial Quilt and instrumental in the campaign to get Harvey Milk elected, told Stonewall: “I salute you on your work... Peace and social justice was Harvey Milk’s vision and it’s the vision of the founders of this organisation. Young people in this country are being beaten and killed just as in my country. Our struggle against homophobia is not over.” The dinner was hosted by Amy Lamé, who in a few weeks’ time will help to lead the Brighton Equality Walk for Stonewall. The celebrity auctioneer on the night was Christopher Biggins. Following the dinner, there were DJ sets from Jodie Harsh and Kris Di Angelis. Ben Summerskill, Stonewall chief executive, said: “This year’s Stonewall Equality Dinner had a special 20th anniversary theme. But we didn’t just look back proudly over the achievements of the past two decades. We looked forward too – at all the steps towards lesbian and gay equality we plan to take in the next 20 years. Stonewall is busier than ever. We won’t stop until every single lesbian and gay person enjoys full equality – at home, at school and at work.” The dinner, at London’s Dorchester Hotel, was sponsored by UBS for the fourth year. Auction lots included a styling session with Gok Wan, a painting by Maggi Hambling, dinner with Joan Collins and Christopher Biggins, a Kobi Israel print and front row tickets for Waiting For Godot followed by a backstage champagne reception with Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. All money raised from the dinner will go towards Stonewall campaigns such as Education For All, tackling homophobic bullying in Britain’s schools. Stonewall’s next big fundraising event is the Brighton Equality Walk on Sunday 3 May, which will raise money specifically for Education For All. The charity needs £150,000 to send a copy of its educational DVD Fit to every school in the country. Register for the walk at www.equalitywalk.org.uk

The Stepford Wives ★★★★✩ (2004, BBC1, 10.45pm. Dir Frank Oz) Remake of the original frankly freaky 1970s film about a family who move to the supposedly perfect suburb of Stepford, only to find that there’s something malicious in the perfection of these ladies. Played as a dark comedy this time around, it stars Nicole Kidman, Bette Midler and Matthew Broderick.

THURSDAY 16 Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan

The Apprentice BBC 1 Wednesdays an you believe this is series five? Can you believe that a lot of women in Britain have a little thing for Sir Alan Sugar? Can you believe that the boys group served cheeses and pickle on a stick whilst wearing togas? No, me neither! Fifteen more hopefuls are being put through their paces, all hoping to get that chance of a lifetime job within Alan Sugar’s company. It is too soon for me to have found a favourite yet. At the beginning of the show it is more fun to pick apart the contestants, because it is just so easy to do so. You have to have a certain amount of confidence to be able to enter this kind of competition. You also have to have had a fair amount of success to even be considered. It is this confidence that is normally the contestants‘ downfall, and that is the part I like to watch (yes I know that makes me a sick person). I love it when one of the contestants decides they should be team leader for tasks because they feel they have experience in that field and then goes on to fail miserably. I love it when they get caught out, like last series when the kid who won lied on his CV. So far this series the episode with the sandwich making has been my favourite for sheer comedy value. The girl, Yasmina, who had the most experience in the food industry being a restaurateur, took the role as team leader. That could quite possibly have been the worst decision she could have made. If she is fired her restaurant business may slow down – from watching her cook, and hearing her views on how to run a good food business, I wouldn’t set foot in one of her restaurants if I was paid! The sad thing these contestants have to suffer is ridicule (and yes I am aware I am one of those ridiculing) but they all get stuff printed in the papers about them. One newspaper managed to get its hands on a photograph of one of the male contestants at a fancy dress party dressed as a woman. The paper, believe it or not, managed to make an entire story out of it. The contestants are brave. Not only do they have to get shouted at by Alan Sugar – the only man in the country who can ignore everyone else’s opinion and be loved for it – but they have to face the fact that every morning after the show is aired, Chris Moyles will rib them, the papers will say something new and there is more potential for them to be fired as the group gets smaller. I wouldn’t want to love it but I love to watch it!

★★★★✩ (2006, Film4, 9pm. Dir Larry Charles Sasha Baron Cohen takes his naively offensive-in-the-extreme Kazakhstani cultural reporter Borat on a road trip around America. Culturally baiting the unsuspecting Yanks with this character, satire and slapstick emerge as Borat’s prevailing force. May offend some.

FRIDAY 17

Nacho Libre ★★★✩✩ (2006, Channel 4, 10pm. Dir Jared Hess) Broad comedy about a monastery cook who moonlights as a Mexican wrestler to raise money for the little orphans. Bless. Starring Jack Black as the man in the tights with a crush on the new nun in town – wrong but go with it – you can be sure there’s plenty of slapstick here.

The Darjeeling Limited ★★★★★ (2007, Sky Movies Indie, 10pm. Dir Wes Anderson) This quirky road movie across India sees three very different estranged brothers set off on a train together with the plan being to get to know each other better. Starring Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman as the brothers halfway between a slap and a hug together, this is a magical film.

SATURDAY 18

Behind Enemy Lines ★★★★✩ (2001,Channel 4, 10.35pm. Dir John Moore) Action-packed thriller about a young naval aviator who captures evidence of war crimes while conducting a routine reconnaissance mission over a remote area in the Balkans. When his plane is shot down behind enemy lines, the rookie officer must escape from a Serbian paramilitary leader intent on covering up acts of genocide.

SUNDAY 19 Dogma ★★★★✩

(1999, Channel 4, 10.50pm. Dir Kevin Smith) Aptly timed immediately after the religious holiday that was Easter, is this sacrilegious slacker comedy starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as two fallen angels trying to get back into heaven by taking advantage of a holy loop hole. With Linda Fiorentino as Jesus’ great-to-thepower-of-lots grandniece trying to stop them, it’s a fun theological poking caper.

MONDAY 20

Addicted To Love ★★★✩✩ (1997, Channel 5, 11.05pm. Dir Griffin Dunne) When Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick get dumped by their other halves running off into a romance bubble together, the rejects form an unlikely alliance in this dark comedy. Meg wears eyeliner and tries to look edgy, Matt goes all washy-eyed and looks a bit soppy. Entertaining enough.

tuesday 14 CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Five, 9pm The novelty of having Laurence Fishburne learning CSI-ness still hasn’t worn off, making all the old bits we thought we knew all the more interesting to pick up afresh. Why is the dusting powder different colours? Here’s why! Fab. Tonight a murder trail is interrupted by a violent suicide.

The Big Bang Theory Channel 4, 11.05pm This lovely sitcom about two socially inept but intellectually genius flatmates delivers a classic episode this week as Sheldon develops a scientific procedure for making friends. The world is his oyster and all around are pearls of friendship. Now, who to befriend first, and who is good enough for Sheldon?

Doctor Who BBC3, 7pm After all the excitement of the Easter Doctor Who episode here is a classic to cool your cravings. The Doctor and Rose travel back to 1879 to the Scottish Highlands and meet Queen Victoria, along with a less than timorous beastie – in a fact a rather big and hairy beastie. Best bit is Rose trying to get Queenie to not be amused.
