International Theater Project By Turkish Actors To Raise Awareness On Diversity, Value Of Life

The Theatre Times: Sometimes a small event, a work of art or a life story can inspire us, unexpectedly change our perspective on life, help us find the meaning of life or create our own meaning. Spoonface, an award-winning play by British playwright Lee Hall, who also wrote the screenplay of the movie Billy Elliot, is such a work. Depicting the value of life through the eyes of an autistic child diagnosed with cancer, the play is a portrayal of human diversity. The story of this child with autism has the power to touch the heart of anyone living anywhere in the world.

Marvel Cinematic Universe Needs to Deal With Whitewashing Problem

The Mary Sue: Like any true antagonist, Marvel has been busy giving us fan theory-fueled nightmares while simultaneously infiltrating every waking second of our lives. Now that Avengers 4 reshoots are well underway and Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) spent a suspiciously short amount of time on set, you’d think that we’d be busy preemptively mourning our favorite heroes, but our attention has been momentarily deviated by the upcoming Disney streaming service. Thanks, Marvel, for consuming our lives and wallets.

Class Might Be Invisible, But Theatres Shouldn't Ignore It

Exeunt Magazine: There’s been quite a few articles recently about the dearth of working class artists in theatre (mainly written by middle class writers, for publications with a large middle class readership). And while plenty of interesting points have been raised, the overarching theme seems to be how difficult it is to carve out a career if you don’t have the brass. This is, if you’ll excuse the pun, bang on the money (I have to work full time alongside my playwriting). That said, I think that by focusing solely on cash, we’re actually losing sight of the other barriers working class artists face.
