I've just come back from watching Jude Law and Ruth Wilson (pictured) in Anna Christie at one of my favourite theatres, the Donmar Warehouse in Covent Garden - and full credit to them - their performances are outstanding. I would be very surprised if, in due course, they weren't nominated for the Olivier, Evening Standard and whatsonstage.com awards. Ruth Wilson is, in particular, a name to watch. I've seen her in Philistines at the NT and A Streetcar Named Desire at the Donmar, and she is phenomenal.
One extra surprise during the evening. Just before the lights went down, one of my friends said, "Isn't that Matt Smith over there?" - and sure enough, the Doctor was in the house. I asked him for a couple of autographs during the interval, and he was absolutely charming.
