Doctor Who is in the Portrait Gallery
A new portrait of the newest Doctor Who star, Ncuti Gatwa, by photographer Robert Wilson has joined Scotland’s national collection of art.
This photograph of the actor joins other notable Scottish figures in the National Galleries of Scotland’s permanent collection, including former Doctors, Peter Capaldi and David Tennant.
The artwork is on display and free to view at National Galleries of Scotland: Portrait.
Hamilton
If you haven’t got tickets for Hamilton then there are still a few in random places in the Festival Theatre – but not many even though the show runs until 27 April.
This is the show of the season as far as Capital Theatres is concerned. Even without the starry presence of Lin-Manuel Miranda the show sizzles while it relates the story of Alexander Hamilton who was one of the Founding Fathers of the US.
The hip hop rap, song and dance and everything else which is flung at the audience during the two hours 45 minutes is quite dazzling. Winner of 11 Tony Awards including Best Musical, 7 Olivier Awards, the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album plenty has already been said about the show with the range of emotions it taps into.
This is a touring production and on Tuesday night producers Sir Cameron Mackintosh and Jeffrey Seller were both at The Festival Theatre to see it for themselves along with press and others.
Following press night on Tuesday evening, Liam Rudden’s review will appear here online later today.
