In series two, following her son’s death, Marsha isolates herself in rural Scotland. Her peaceful stay is interrupted when her seemingly sweet neighbours aren’t who they appear to be. She is composed and somewhat calm when essentially in Adams’s own words “fighting for survival.”

David Jonsson and Tom Blyth chat tense drama 'Wasteman'.
“…That's the cool thing about this film, I don't think we're posing any answer(s), but just asking some questions and playing the truth of any human that finds themselves, you know, on the wrong side of the justice system.” says Jonsson of what it was like to play Taylor; a prison inmate just trying to keep his head down ahead of his impending early release.

Timmika Ramsay on her RSC debut in 'All Is But Fantasy'
I've always wanted to be Lady Macbeth, but we broke down how many scenes she has, and like, the fact that she is there to aid Macbeth's story. And it's not really her story. It's not about her. And these are characters that I've wanted to be so badly. And it's like, we are never at the centre of these stories, really.

Lojay, Refinement & The Sonic World of XOXO

Haile Is Making Music That Is The Foundation Of Himself
Haile Digital Cover 2026 by narcography It's hard to speak about modern Black British music without mentioning WSTRN. When group members Akelle Charles, Haile Alexander, and Louis Rei released In2 in 2015, it was the song of the summer.

Konyikeh and the Courage of Vulnerability
There is a particular stillness in Konyikeh’s music, steeped in intention. Her songs don’t rush to meet you; they sit, breathe and then open themselves slowly. Her voice and writing mirror one another in that they are both raw, full-bodied and complex in structure but instinctive in delivery. You can hear the years of classical discipline in the depth of her tone, the way the harmonies stretch and resolve, but you can also hear a young woman learning, in real time, how to let

Limp Wrist and The Iron Fist @ Brixton House
The beautiful thing about this play was how much it still felt like home regardless of the fact that the play was centring the black male experience. It really is a relatable watch for anyone, despite where you land on the crossroad of intersectionality.
