Happy birthday, Alex Kingston! (March 11, 1963)
I went to see Alex Kingston in Admissions at Trafalgar Studios in London. Since I’m back in London again, why not? My seat was at the very front - slightly rough on the neck! - but giving me the chance to watch the actors without any obstructions (except the desk, on occasion - and it wasn’t a “restricted viewing” seat, either).

“I was twiddling my thumbs in LA,” says Alex Kingston
The actress says she has not stopped working since returning to the UK two years ago.
Alex Kingston has said she was “twiddling my thumbs a bit” in LA but has not stopped working since returning to the UK.
The former ER and Doctor Who actress moved to London for family reasons two years ago.
“In America, you get to a place where you are of an age and are just not cast any more,” the 55-year-old told The Sunday Times Culture magazine, but added that things have improved.
“Netflix and Amazon have actually done a lot to change the playing field, in terms of casting ethnicity, age, size – so it isn’t just ageism,” she said.
“It is that America is a much bigger pond, and you are a much smaller fish in that big pond.
“There are fewer roles for women past 50 so it is much more competitive — and the bigger fish tend to be the movie stars who aren’t getting their movie-star roles any more so they move to TV.”
Kingston is returning to the stage in the play Admissions. [x]
Alex Kingston will star in ADMISSIONS, written by Joshua Harman, an award-winning and bitingly funny new comedy from the writer of acclaimed hit Bad Jews, direct from New York’s Lincoln Centre Theater.
Sherri (Alex Kingston) is the Head of Admissions at a private school, fighting to diversify the student intake and she wants you to know about it. When her son is deferred from his university of choice, and his best friend – who ‘ticks more boxes’ – is accepted, Sherri’s personal ambition collides with her progressive values. Piercing and provocative, Admissions is 90 minutes long, but the debate will take you through the night.
Following its hugely successful run at LCT, Admissions will open at London’s Trafalgar Studios on 28 February for a strictly limited season until 25 May, before embarking on a UK tour. Following the run at Trafalgar Studios, Admissions will tour the UK playing at the Richmond Theatre (w/c 27 May 2019), the Cambridge Arts Theatre (w/c 3 June), the Malvern Festival Theatre (w/c 10 June 2019) and the Lyric Theatre at The Lowry in Salford (w/c 17 June 2019).

Happy 2018!
Happy 2018, everyone!
Sorry I’ve been MIA, but I’ve been busy in London doing all the things - it’s really late right now, too - plus, this year has already flown by? (I know, January 5th...but seriously, how?)
Wishing you wonderful followers a brilliant, healthy, and happy year ahead!
AND...here’s hoping for ALL the River Song things, especially on Doctor Who!
Thanks for the comment on Alex at Venus In Fur--that was funny!!! You have probably already seen these but just in case I saw 5 photos of her at Venus In Fur, December 1, 2017 on both beimages and rexfeatures. Her outfit is interesting!!!! Love your blog--thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing!
I haven’t had a chance to look for photos, but cheers for the heads up. The photos are heavily watermarked, but I think fans won’t care? Her outfit is so typically Alex - what I like to call a bit of hobo chic.
Waiting at the Stage Door for ‘Venus in Fur’ tonight to see David Oakes, and Alex Kingston appeared after popping in to see David and Natalie Dormer. She walked past the waiting queue and a murmur of ‘River Song’ was heard. Then a woman crashed into a dead faint.
Yes, really - she fainted as Alex Kingston walked past. Imagine having that effect on people.
Researching a new building development in London for personal reasons...and I think I spot Matt Smith walking by? Am I seeing things?!
