CHAP Spring 23

£4.99

CHAP Spring 23 leads with an interview with House of the Dragon star Paddy Considine, who also discusses his rise to fame after appearing in Shane Meadows’ early British indie films like Dead Man’s Shoes. Taking Game of Thrones’ nod to the mediaeval era, we explore the French books and TV series Les Rois Maudits, which George RR Martin cited as an influence on his epic saga. For a more realistic look at mediaeval life, we provide a guide to the gentleman of Middle England scheming his way to the top of the kingdom. Kings of a more recent era get the full Arbuthnot treatment, in his guide to the coronation of Charles III. The career of Leslie Phillips is recalled in our tribute to the great bounder who said his final ‘Ding Dong’ last November. Sartorial features include the Zoot Suit plus a zoot besuited chap and his moll photographed in Jack the Ripper’s old haunts in Whitechapel. Our new section ‘Am I Homburg?’ is heralded by the history of this elegant hat in the spa town of Bad Homburg. Further Teutonic tales come from an interview with Berliner crooner Max Raabe. We pace the corridors of the surreal stately home of Peter O’Toole in 1972 satire The Ruling Class, while Ruby Demure treads the boards at the Theatre Royal, Brighton, in the footsteps of Lauren Bacall and Marlene Dietrich. All this plus: Bentley Blower, Mazda MX-5, Grey Fox Column, Fountain Pens and pop publicist Tony King.
