This week on The Week That Was, we’re cultured, critical and slightly unhinged. From front-row hay fever at Australian theatre to Hollywood’s favourite fake romances, Kate and Tansy spiral beautifully through the arts, the aesthetics and the absolute audacity.

🎭 Tansy’s gone full thespian — My Brilliant Career in the front row (bring antihistamines) followed by tap-dancing Mormon boys in The Book of Mormon. Two nights. Zero regrets.
🎬 Robert Pattinson and Zendaya spark faux-mance whispers while still very much engaged to other people. We investigate.
📚 Wuthering Heights is back and somehow less horny than expected. Stunning frocks. Missing context. Literature girls are tired.
💔 The memoir Strangers by Bell Burden emotionally destroyed us in under 24 hours. Divorce but make it devastatingly chic. Gwyneth, call your agent.
🛒 Rihanna goes grocery shopping and we agree: no one else should pick your mangoes. Ever.
💍 Wedding red flags include: no dancing. Immediate jail.
📺 Ryan Murphy’s Carolyn Bessette Kennedy series has us entering our minimalist, horny telly era.

It’s theatre discourse, canon chaos, parasocial delusion, supermarket sociology and a healthy dose of “check the source material, babes.”

All in a week’s work.
