Your bio says you have “been dreaming about the artificial since a young age.” Were you dreaming of artificial intelligence, too? What were the dreams of young Toby like, and how different were they to those of Professor Toby? Author Toby Walsh (TU Berlin/ Christian Kielmann) Those dreams were fuelled by science-fiction works by authors like Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke who painted a picture of a future full of robots and intelligent computers. Once I started programming, I realised that I could help build…

The film-makers Kelly O’Sullivan and Alex Thompson know their way around the peaks and valleys of the everyday. Their breakout 2019 feature Saint Frances, written and starring O’Sullivan, sublimated what could be big strokes of drama – abortion, postpartum depression, getting older, lost time – into the unremarkable (on the outside) relationship between an aimless 34-year-old and her six-year-old nannying charge. The daily humors and challenges in one woman’s life were not particularly dramatic or arresting, but rendered…

In the end, she withdrew from the project.A film with the word “Shakespeare” in its title was considered risky, and without Julia involved the project languished – until the script was bought by Harvey Weinstein,…

“All I ever wanted to do was play Shakespeare, nothing else. It was a kind of zenith for me,” says Judi Dench, discussing her first professional role (Ophelia with the Old Vic) straight out of drama school in 1957. Despite the book’s jokily disparaging subtitle – “the man who pays the rent” is how Dench and her late husband,Michael Williams, used to refer to the Bard when they both worked for the Royal Shakespeare Company during the 1970s – her passion for Shakespeare shines through every conversation reproduced here.The…
