What is the best thing about being a twin? The shared experience. We spent the first 20 years of our lives together every day. We both have a similar curiosity about the world, and he practised as a doctor for 50 years. His take on human behaviour was really amusing, funny and very wise. It was always interesting to have conversations with him, so we would just compare notes. It’s why I love collaborating with people because it’s always about the discourse. Where do you keep your Oscar?

There is something amiss in Force of Nature: The Dry 2, the sequel to the 2020 mystery crime thriller The Dry – and it’s not just the title. The adaptation of British-Australian author Jane Harper’s follow-up novel replaces the drought-ridden outback with the tropical rainforests of the Victorian mountain regions – dripping ferns, fruit bats overhead, mud sticking to boots.

Revenge is a doomed undertaking in Sweeney Todd. In Stephen Sondheim’s sweeping grand guignol musical, a wronged street barber grows increasingly fixated on violent retribution for a crime against his wife and daughter – aided by adoring accomplice Mrs Lovett, who runs a questionable pie shop on Fleet Street. Categorised by Sondheim as a “dark operetta”, with around 80% of the score sung through, the grand melodrama has become a regular choice for opera companies since its Broadway debut in 1979.

Australian twins Danny and Michael Philippou, known as RackaRacka to their 6.74 million YouTube followers, are – in their own words – “overstimulated”. They’re in the middle of a whirlwind press tour for their feature directorial debut, Talk to Me, the horror film that unleashed a competitive bidding war at this year’s Sundance film festival and landed them a high seven-figure deal with A24, the Oscar-winning independent film studio behind Moonlight and Everything Everywhere All At Once.
