Steven Knight looks astounded, almost lost for words. He’s just watched contemporary dance company Rambert run through scenes from the first act of their “Peaky Blinders” production, based on the hit TV show that he wrote and created. Watching the immediate connection between the dancers’ movements and the audience is a revelation for Knight, who has teamed up for a full-length theater dance show that fills in some of the 1920s gangster drama’s backstory. “I was never into dance. Dance was never a thing for me. I certainly can’t dance myself,” Knight says. He was so impressed with the power of dance that he wrote a ballet scene into the show’s fifth season. Recently Knight watched rehearsals of several scenes of the stage show, “Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby,” which has i
Read MoreKurtenbach: The Warriors silenced their critics by winning another title. But there’s ‘no shortage of chips’ on their shoulders for 2022-23
SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors proved countless people wrong last year in winning a fourth title since 2015. It was alleged that the Warriors’ title window was closed. They were too old. That they were over the hill. That Steph Curry wasn’t the type of player who could carry a team to a title. That Klay Thompson would be a shadow of his former self after his two massive injuries. That Draymond Green wasn’t a winner, he was just someone who was in the right place at the right time and last summer was neither the time nor the place. The Warriors have always been motivated by chips on their collective shoulders. Whether they were just a “jump-shooting team,” the all-powerful Super Villains, or just a bunch of guys on the back-end of their careers, Golden State’s veterans have found power in sli

I often watch the show while eating dinner, excitedly anticipating whether Ryuta will grab the correct size diapers at the drugstore. As an American who grew up on a suburban street of single-family homes with no sidewalks and few nearby stores, the Japanese reality is engrossing and eye-opening. Unlike the Japanese children in “Old Enough,” who navigate their way to downtown shopping centers with ease, Chicago children are not safe even in their own neighborhoods. On
Read MoreNiecy Nash in “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” Netflix The most powerful aspect of the show is Niecy Nash’s wonderful and empathetic performance as Glenda Cleveland, seen here as Dahmer’s next-door neighbor at the Oxford Apartments on 25th Street. Throughout the series, she’s seen repeatedly attempting to try and warn local law enforcement about the activities inside apartment 213, where Dahmer is sexually assaulting then strangling and dismembering his victims. The show’s most horrifying moments occur not on camera but as heard through the vents connecting the adjoining apartments, when Nash’s Glenda can’t sleep at night because of the sounds of screaming and drill-sawing resonating through the ducts. While Glenda Cleveland did actually exist, the real person lived in a build
Read MoreGov. Ron DeSantis on Monday morning said the impacts of Hurricane Ian are expected to be felt on both coasts of the state as the storm strengthens and moves north later this week. DeSantis gave an update on the state’s response during a news conference at the State Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee. RELATED: Hurricane Ian forecast to continue rapidly strengthening State officials expect Southwest Florida and other areas along the Gulf Coast to bear the brunt of the 500-mile-wide storm and experience a huge storm surge, but the east coast of the state from Miami to Jacksonville could also see flooding and widespread power outages. Among the preparations, DeSantis said the Florida National Guard has activated 5,000 members and 2,000 more guards from other nearby states have been ac...
Read MoreGirogia Meloni has made her views, some she’s held since her youth, perfectly clear (Pictures: Rex/Getty Images)If Giorgia Meloni, the far-right politician poised to become Italy’s first woman prime minister, is one thing, it’s consistent. In 1992, the then 15-year-old Roman joined Youth Front, the youth wing of the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement, in 1992. Today, she is the leader of the Brothers of Italy, a party rooted in a post-war movement ignited by dictator Benito Mussolini’s fascists. Exit polls strongly suggest voters have elected Meloni as prime minister in Italy’s general election yesterday. She will likely head a conservative coalition that will be the country’s most right-wing government since World War Two. Activists and academics warned Metro.co.uk that a

Imani, an offspring of Monty and Rose at Montrose Beach, in May.Provided by Tamima Itani Since May, the piping plover conservation community in Chicago has been watching Imani, a 1-year-old piping plover ready to mate. However, Imani spent the summer alone. “No one showed up for Imani,” said Ann Hetzel Gunkle, a piping plover monitor who is also on the board of the Chicago Audubon Society. “We’re crossing our fingers for next year.” Imani, who arrived at Montrose Beach in the spring, has since left to travel approximately 1,000 miles to his southern wintering grounds. He was the first piping plover to hatch on Montrose Beach and return a year later — a rare occurrence for the endangered species that produced only 150 chicks this year. “Every hatched bird, every mating pair really...

Read MoreErm, really? (Pictures: ITV)Reminiscing about her 22 years on Emmerdale, Charity Dingle star Emma Atkins obviously had to revisit an iconic pairing: Charity and Cain (Jeff Hordley). ‘I love the fact that people always mention the history and the “legendary chemistry” that went with Cain and Charity,’ she says. The pairing was a passionate and exciting one, although there were troubling elements of abusive behaviour and betrayal, beginning when Charity was only 13 years old when she became pregnant with her daughter Debbie. When she and Cain arrived in Emmerdale, Charity started a relationship with Chris Tate (Peter Amory), but was soon pursuing an affair with Cain on the side. ‘Charity and Cain’s love triangle was legendary,’ Emma says. Emma called the storyline ‘legendary’ ...
