At least now that it’s September we can embrace the season of wearing jumpers and reading hardback books – my favourite time of year. There’s an exciting season of culture ahead, too, with the autumn theatre calendar kicking off with a new production of Pygmalion at the Old Vic.

Readers follow Michael and Ola in the weeks leading up to their engagement when one of them finds themselves publicly cancelled on an anonymous list of sexual predators, but someone is lying. It’s a thrilling display of how cancel culture can tear apart relationships, and livelihoods, almost instantaneously.

But it bowed out in style, with host Melvyn Bragg talking to the nation's favourite artist, David Hockney, in a two-part special. If you missed it, it's well worth catching up to inject some colour and creative inspiration into your weekend. Jessie Thompson | Arts editor   Film | [Cobweb](~/AAAHagA~/RgRm1WKwP0RHaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvYXJ0cy1lbnRlcnRhaW5tZW50L2ZpbG1zP2xpZD1lMG1ob3p3aWFzdmRXBXNwY2V1Qgpk6bDd8mRBtzDwUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAyM~) Somewhat cursed in the US after being released on the same weekend as Barbie and Oppenheimer, Cobweb finally washes up on these shores bearing a small but devoted online fanbase. Woody Norman (of the Joaquin Phoenix drama C’mon C’mon) plays a young boy convinced his parents (Mean Girls star Lizzy Caplan and The Boys’ Anthony Starr) are not who they seem. This is eerie goodness from producer Seth Rogen, and worth seeing now before everyone starts telling you how great it is in six months’ time.

One year later, the production – originally directed by the equally self-referential Bo Burnham – opens for a month’s run at London’s Soho Theatre. Fans of the absurdly silly, fourth wall-breaking comedy of Liz Kingsman will love.

She has no trace of an accent but always puts it out that she’s Spanish for the sake of her mum, who has a habit of writing into newspapers to correct them if they say she was born in England (“I’m very proud of her for doing that”). And her mum can be justifiably proud in turn, because her daughter is now one of the most acclaimed stage actors in Britain. Though she has been a professional performer for less than a decade, not a single performance in her career so far has missed the target since she graduated from RADA in 2014. There was her scene-stealing debut opposite Angela Lansbury in a West End revival of Blithe Spirit. There’s some more eccentric stuff, like her solo turn in the Royal Court’s oddball comic monologue My Mum’s A Twat. And there’s been the fruitful relationship with director Rebecca Frecknall that bagged her a best actress Olivier Award for 2018’s Tennessee Williams obscurity Summer and Smoke. She’s often talked up as a future theatre dame in the Judi Dench mould, but she still looks very much like a gawky teen: last time she was at London’s venerable Old Vic theatre, for 2021’s Camp Siegfried, a play about a Nazi summer camp, she played a 16-year-old. Now she’s back for her reckoning with Pygmalion, playing Eliza, a woman in her early twenties, tops.
