Catch classic movies under the greenhouse canopy at SAMA Garden
It's not quite the end of summer, but the heat has slackened just enough to entertain the idea of sitting outside – not to sweat, but to settle in. On August 1-3, SAMA Garden offers a three-night escape from the indoors, swapping streaming queues for open-air screens beneath a gently lit dome and a canopy of leaves. What's on offer is less about spectacle and more about atmosphere. A garden cinema, framed by soft lights and easy company, where you're welcome to bring a date, a friend or even your dog (they've thought of everything – there's a pet-friendly zone with ample space for snoots and tails). Each ticket, priced at B550, includes a film, a snack-and-drink bundle and access to what may be the most indulgent detail of the evening – a complimentary 15-minute massage, courtesy of Divana, available only for those who register via Line@SAMA Garden at least a day before. The screening schedule leans into comfort. No high-stakes thrillers, no sudden death. Just gently plotted narratives, a bit of romance, a touch of nostalgia and the occasional tear. Film schedule Friday August 1, 6:30pm - The Intern Ben, a retired widower full of life, signs up as a senior intern at a booming fashion startup founded by the ambitious Jules.

Reframing of the Taming
Taking on a Shakespeare play full of difficult people and with a problematic central relationship, presented some challenges for The Taming of the Shrew director Thomas Makinson. So, to solve the issue, the production is gender-fluid, drenched in neon and 1990s energy, leaning into the play's farcical moments to keep things light and enjoyable for modern audiences. Directed by Makinson, this reimagining draws inspiration from the movie 10 Things I Hate About You and the Commedia dell'arte theatre tradition to create an absurdist, high-energy romp through one of the Bard's most controversial "problem plays". "Fortunately, Shakespeare is endlessly adaptable and, although we have cut it somewhat and made it a gender-fluid production, the fun shines through," Makinson said. With a vibrant 1990s aesthetic, meta-theatrical twists, and the same-sex casting of Kate (Lizzie Thomson) and Petruchia (Belle Mullan), the production embraced the play's chaotic spirit while interrogating its gender politics with wit and playfulness, he said. "Apart from the rivalry between Kate and Petruchia, the other side of the play is silly and fun, and we have really amped that up. "It is a play full of difficult characters, so we are playing it all for comedy. "It's messy. It's playful. It's Shakespeare turned up to eleven — and then flipped inside out." Alongside Thomson and Mullan, The Taming of the Shrew features fellow local actors Jake Ree (Bianco), Crispin Garden-Webster (Baptista), Evie Virens (Gremia), April McMillan Perkins (Lucentia), plus Daniel Cromar, Louisa Stabenow, Harry Almey, and an ensemble. Working alongside Makinson is a local crew of creatives, including production manager Laura Wells, lighting designer Jordan Wichman, sound designer Louisa Stabenow, original music by Evelyn Virens, set by Sofie Welvaert, costumes by Lizzie Thomson, and intimacy co-ordination by Chelsea McRae. Friends of the Globe Theatre chairman Brent Caldwell said "in a time when traditional gender roles are under scrutiny and identity is increasingly fluid, this production offers a wild joyride through power, gender and performance". "Be ready for layered disguises, quick role swaps, direct audience address — and above all, a wildly entertaining night at the theatre," Caldwell said. • The Globe Theatre's reimagining of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew will be staged from July 10 to 19, at 7.30pm, with a Sunday matinee on July 13, at 2pm.

How did Bring It On star Gabrielle Union spend her first big pay cheque?
Gabrielle Union was "so stupid" with her first big pay cheque. The 52-year-old actress found success in the late 1990s and early 2000s with appearances in hit films like Bring It On, 10 Things I Hate About You, and She's All That, but revealed that when she when she first came into money, she went against her father's advice and bought a brand new car. Speaking as part of a panel discussion at the American Black Film Festival, she said: "So stupid. I went on the Mazda lot. I'm like, 'Oh, I've made it when I have a Mazda.' My dad's like, 'Don't buy a brand new car. It depreciates the second you drive it off the lot. "I walked into Mazda and I bought myself a black on black Mazda Miata with leather seats. Lemme tell you about leather seats in Los Angeles. Do you know I scorched myself every time I got out? Yeah, that was my first purchase. And it depreciated the second I drove it off the lot!" Gabrielle is now married to former NBA star Dwyane Wade, and previously revealed that the two of them split their finances equally. Speaking on the Black Millionaires podcast, she explained: "In this household, we split everything fifty-fifty. "But in the other households that each of us have to support, there's always this like, gorilla on your back, that's like, 'You better work, b****, you better work. Oh, you're going to sleep in?' You know, somebody might not eat. "It's hard. It's hard to let that go. So I'm working on that.." The actress - who has six-year-old Kaavia with Dwyane and is also stepmother to his other four children - admitted at the time that she still has a "scarcity mindset" from the days before she made it big. She said: "I struggle with that, still. "I think I just have more responsibilities for my money. I get nervous like, 'Oh God, that movie didn't open you know what does that mean? Do I – Am I … Am I going to have enough to hold everybody up?'"

Iconic Actress Recalls 'Crazy' Run-In With Taylor Swift: 'I Hate Myself'
—she's just like us! The 10 Things I Hate About You star detailed the "crazy" run-in she once had with in the Wednesday, May 21 episode of the podcast How to Fail, where she begrudgingly opened up about meeting the superstar at a 'game night party' they were both invited to. Stiles, 44, joked, 'God, I hate myself right now," as she dove into the tale. "The biggest name-dropping I could do—but it happened and it's awesome.' Swift, she said, just "has that presence" where you "could just feel" her entering the room. She wasn't planning on bothering the Eras Tour artist that night, but as she was getting ready to leave, someone intervened, letting her know that Swift was interested in saying hi to her.'...he was like, 'She really likes your work,'" the actress recalled, adding that she "blacked out" as they shook hands. "I don't remember, actually, what happened after that—but she said something very nice to me.' Stiles further 'dissociated for a second' while the two chatted, but eventually "worked up the courage" to praise the musician. "You're amazing; this is crazy," she told her, recalling the way she "looked like she genuinely appreciated it." While "there used to be a part of [her]" that insisted she "play it cool" when crossing paths with another actor or artist that she admired, more recently she's "discovered that everybody that's a performer wants to know people are listening to their music or watching their movies or care at all." Now, she's "totally, unselfconsciously ready to say" how fantastic she thinks somebody is. 'Even somebody like Taylor Swift, who is the biggest star on the planet, seems humble enough or just positive enough to be like, 'Yeah, I'm glad that bazillions of people like to listen to my music,'" she pointed out. "They don't take it for granted.'
