@thetimes: Dame Maureen Lipman has called on Gerard McCarthy, who withdrew from a play she was involved in over her views on Israel and Palestine, to stop being “so cowardly”.⁠ ⁠ The veteran actress said that McCarthy made no attempt to contact her before announcing that he was withdrawing from the production.⁠ ⁠ “I am asking for him to have the courage to face me and tell me what he thinks it is I should do, or think, or say,” she told The Times⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Tap the link to read more #uknews #maureenlipman #israel #palestine #theatre

Working with Maureen Lipman isn’t quite the flex Maureen Lipman thinks it is. 😂

But she refuses to work with Miriam Margoyles because of her views on Zionism. Maybe Ms Lipman is the one to grow up.

"if he doesn't grow up he's going to limit himself to working with better and more principled actors than me"

Did she just admit that Hollywood is blackballing anti genocide actors.

Um, I think he might want to work with only Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem for the rest of his career than with Maureen Lipman 😂

I would suggest Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem are both significant upgrades on Beattie from 80s adverts.
