Exclusive: Life is literally a Cabaret for Aimee Lou Wood, star of Netflix comedy Sex Education and awards season movie Living, who is rehearsing to make her West End musical debut as Sally Bowles in the radical revival of the classic show by John Kander and Fred Ebb.
Wood joins John McCrea, who was the original Jamie in Everybody’s Talking About Jamie at The Sheffield Crucible and in London, and is taking on the role of the Emcee.

If you’re a fan of short films, the London Film Festival has made access to watching the highlights of their programme this year as accessible as it’s ever been. There’s the option to watch these films, as they should be seen, on the big screen across venues in London but there’s also the option to check them out from home on the BFI Player, for free, from the 5th to the 23rd October. And what a selection there is! What struck me most this year was the experimentation in these short films. Each of them in their own way is in conversation with the form and either deconstructs it or ignores its conventions in favour of charting new territory. If you’re looking to start your watching but not sure where to begin, check out Dn’s list of recommendations below which features ten short films we believe are must-sees.
