Thanks for that Megan - that looks like it could be good, but we'll have to wait till 2025 for the release.

Aside from being a fine actor, he plays the piano and composes some of his own music too, so maybe that experience will help him create a great portrayal of Handel. Hopefully the writing and direction will be up to the task!

A little off topic, but hope you don't mind if I share with you that on my wedding day, Instead of having the usual 'Here Comes the Bride'.. I was very pleased to have chosen , The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba , by Handel.. Such a beautiful, lively , uplifting piece, and so appropriate for weddings. What a genius Handel was.

I played that one for my cousin's entrance at her wedding - a great piece!
