Broken lift bars disabled visitors from Wimbledon theatre
"They are ignoring us. It is like we are invisible," says campaigner Gina Vettese outside New Wimbledon Theatre as crowds arrived for War of the Merton Centre for Independent Living (CIL) gathered in front of the venue to call for action over the theatre's only accessible lift, which had been temperamental before it finally stopped working in March this then, wheelchair users and people with mobility issues have been turned away from performances because they are unable to get inside the south-west London theatre.A spokesperson from New Wimbledon Theatre said they were sorry the lift was not working, and "for the frustration and inconvenience this may have caused". Merton CIL access champion Sarah Henley told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that the broken lift stopped her from watching a Rock Choir show last November. "I travelled two hours to come and see a show here, and they told me to go home," she said."I had to miss out because the lift was not working," she said. "They said I could go to another theatre in Woking or wait until the lift is fixed, and that was in November last year."The theatre confirmed that it fixed the lift following that incident, before it broke again in March. 'Frankly insulting' Chris Bull said he was also turned away earlier this year, when he visited the theatre to watch Riverdance. "They said it would be fixed sometime in August," he said. "It is no good. [The lift is] about four steps long, but people still get turned away."The campaigners said they have had no reply from the theatre despite regular attempts to contact its staff. Pippa Maslin, from Merton CIL, said their campaign began after Ms Henley's experiences in November last year. "The fact that no one told her the lift was not working in advance is quite frankly insulting," she said."This is a business that is losing our custom because they could not get a basic bit of equipment fixed in 2025."A spokesperson from New Wimbledon Theatre said they had been working with engineers "from a wide range of specialist companies" to fix the lift."The complexity of the fault has meant that this process has taken longer than anyone would have liked and has been frustrating for all involved," they said."We would like to reiterate that New Wimbledon Theatre is committed to being an accessible venue for all. "Installation of a new passenger lift will begin at the end of September, and we expect it to be fully operational by mid to late October. The new lift will have a greater capacity than the previous equipment, both in terms of weight carried and dimensions of wheelchair accommodated."We would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused."

The Lost Boys get loose: Jack Holden on rebooting Peter Pan and The Line of Beauty
The room is hot, sticky and covered in trampled confetti. A mashup of noughties bangers impels our bodies to move. As Club Nvrlnd draws to a close, the audience doesn't want to get off the stage, our throats scratchy from screaming along. 'I'm singing along to every word, every night,' grins the show's writer, Jack Holden, bounding over after having just had a boogie on the platform. We are all glistening with sweat and nostalgia, this show's giddy delirium impossible to resist. Over the next few months, the spotlight is sticking to Holden. A powerhouse of a performer and a deft, emotive writer, the 35-year-old's jukebox-nightclub musical already has audiences at the Edinburgh fringe lining up in the street. His adaptation of Alan Hollinghurst's queer classic novel The Line of Beauty, meanwhile, is soon to be staged at the Almeida in London, and the true-crime thriller Kenrex, that he co-wrote and stars in, is returning for a London run. 'I'm an optimist,' he says, smiling bashfully over coffee earlier in the day. 'I say yes to things then work out how to do them.' Proving his muscle as an actor in War Horse and comedy series Ten Percent, Holden showed his strength as a writer with Cruise, an electronically scored story of a survivor of the Aids crisis blended with his time volunteering at LGBTQ+ listening service Switchboard. Seeing the Olivier-nominated show, producer David Adkin and director Steve Kunis approached Holden with another challenge: to write the book for a musical transposing the familiar story of Peter Pan into a noughties nightclub. 'I'm a Peter Pan myself,' Holden admits. 'Afraid of growing up, trying to create musical, euphoric, hedonistic neverlands of my own. With Club Nvrlnd, I've been able to realise it in my purest, most silly, unashamed way.' In this hazy, fairy-dust-fuelled world we, the lost boys, join Peter (a petulant Thomas Grant) on the eve of his 30th birthday. Having peaked in high school, he's now refusing to grow up. RuPaul's Drag Race's Le Fil shines as our compere Tiger Lily while a rival club owner, a glimmering, bare-chested Hook (Matthew Gent), tries to sabotage Nvrlnd. 'It's absolute chaos,' Holden grins. 'I think we found our audience last night. They are young and ready to dance.' Music pulsates through all of Holden's work. For Kenrex, his thriller co-written with Ed Stamboulian, he has continued his collaboration with The Little Unsaid's John Patrick Elliot, who scored Cruise. The show has been seven years in the making. 'We've cooked it low and slow,' Holden says. 'It's not a cost-effective process.' But it has given them time to find the right form for what began as an experiment, asking whether it was possible to stage a true-crime podcast. They had workshopped the show with a cast of 10 when lockdown hit. 'We realised, in true-crime radio, you hear voices in sequence,' he reasons, 'so it could be coming from one voice.' Holden now plays every part. To watch his performance over the course of Kenrex is to see a shapeshifter in action. With Elliot's music and clever tech, Holden rolls through the roster of distinct characters who, in 1981, finally decide to take justice into their own hands. Holden found inspiration in Andrew Scott's one-man show Vanya, which revealed the power in taking time to transition between characters. 'Kenrex is an exercise in stillness,' he says. 'It's a tightrope walk every night.' Holden's theatrical exploration of the 80s continues with The Line of Beauty, which he is adapting for Rupert Goold's last season at the Almeida. His version streamlines the text to focus on the four young men as they navigate the decade's societal shifts with varying levels of privilege. 'It's about how much has changed,' says Holden, 'but also how much of that entrenched class structure and snobbery is absolutely the same.' The story also returns his focus to the Aids crisis. 'I have fictional arguments in my head about why I'm doing another play about [this topic],' he says. 'But then I argue back and go: how many war movies have been made?' Born in 1990, Holden questions his place to write about the 80s, but he sees its long shadow snaking through his life, with the homophobic legislation Section 28 only repealed when he was a teenager. 'Older gay friends who remember before the Aids crisis say everyone was just having a wild time,' he says ruefully. 'Then Aids came along and instilled so much terror.' Now, with the ready availability of the drug PrEP, Holden hopes the debilitating weight of that fear is finally lifting. 'It's a bit of a sexual renaissance,' he laughs. Freedom is starting to unfurl again. The looseness of bodies. The embrace of a wild night out. The unadulterated fun that Club Nvrlnd encourages. Holden smiles. 'The best drama always happens on the dancefloor.' Club Nvrlnd is at Assembly Checkpoint, Edinburgh, until 24 August; The Line of Beauty is at the Almeida, London, 21 October-29 November; Kenrex is at the Other Palace, London, from 3 December-1 February.

Jimmy Kimmel obtained Italian citizenship in response to Trump's ‘unbelievable' re-election
Jimmy Kimmel has revealed he acquired Italian citizenship due to Donald Trump's presidency, the latest in a wave of celebrities to make contingency plans after his re-election in 2024. Speaking on The Sarah Silverman Podcast, the US late night host confirmed the news. Italian news agency Ansa confirmed that Kimmel had obtained Italian citizenship earlier this year after proving his ancestral lineage. 'A lot of people I know are thinking about, where are they going to get citizenship?' Silverman said, of the wider exodus in response to Trump's re-election. 'I did get Italian citizenship,' Kimmel said. 'What's going on is as bad as you thought it was gonna be. It's so much worse – it's just unbelievable. I feel like it's probably even worse than he would like it to be.' In June, Kimmel spoke of his heritage at an Italian Republic Day event in Los Angeles, telling the audience that his grandfather's parents moved to New York from Ischia, an island off the coast of Naples, after an earthquake in 1883 killed most of their family. 'I have just obtained citizenship, thanks to my beloved grandmother Edith, whose family came from Candida, in the province of Avellino. She used to repeat to me, 'You have the brain of a hamster!'' he reportedly told the audience. Rosie O'Donnell moved to Ireland in January, while Ellen DeGeneres recently confirmed she and her wife, the actor Portia de Rossi, decided to relocate to the UK after Trump's election last year. 'It's clean,' DeGeneres said, of the UK. 'Everything here is just better – the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.' She also expressed concern for the future of LGBTQ+ rights in the US, hinting that she and De Rossi may get married again in the UK due to the possibility that same-sex marriage could be overturned in the US. Kimmel is among a cohort of late night hosts, including John Oliver, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, who regularly use their shows as a platform to criticise the Trump administration. In May, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was controversially axed by CBS, not long after he criticised the network's decision to settle a $16m lawsuit with Trump on-air. CBS has denied it was a politically motivated decision, but Trump did not disguise his pleasure at the news, writing on social media: 'I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!' A few days later, he wrote: 'The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, [Jimmy] Fallon will be gone.' Speaking on Silverman's show, Kimmel said former Trump supporters who found themselves in opposition to his agenda in office should be supported. 'Now you see these clips of Joe Rogan saying, 'Why is he doing this? Why are you deporting people?' And people go, 'Fuck you! You supported him.' I don't buy into that,' Kimmel said. 'The door has to stay open. If you want to change your mind, that's so hard to do. If you want to admit you were wrong, that is so hard and so rare to do. You are welcome.'
