Comedy of Errors, with Lenny Henry

And just a few days before, I went to the National Theatre on the southbank to see a preview of the Comedy of Errors, with Lenny Henry and others. I thought actually that his lost twin brother's sister-in-law stole the show, she was very funny. Lenny was impressive, as were nearly all the cast. I was a little lost at the beginning, with the shakespeanian english, it took me a while to tune in, and I was tired!! not used to working again yet, you see.

Surprising how a play from how long ago? 425 years ago? Still funny and possible in a contemporary setting, still familiar. Great evening, I must do more of this, its been a while.

End of the Rainbow, with Tracie Bennett

Ole! Now this was camp, well, very gay, and what else would you expect from a show about the last period of Judy's life. Well, I didn't expect such an amazing performance, such an amazing voice. I really do know what they mean now when they say she was channeling Garland. Wonderful evening at Richmond Theatre, which is small and very beautiful. Funny, touching, funnier, sad... emotional. Amazing :)

OMG its nearly december

Can't believe I've left it nearly frickin 6 months without updating me online diary/journal/whatever, I'm thinking of this as that from now on, kinda nice to look back and see the things i enjoyed and stuff, you know. I'm a bit soppy like that.

So, June to now... Berlin, lovely as usual, Mykonos with friends, lovely as ever, really lovely. Spain many times, how I miss spain as soon as I leave.. and always just love being there. Maybe I'll move back sometime. Had a fab trip down to Cornwall, and a few more down the south coast.

Now back in London, and feeling a bit settled. well, for now. which is very nice. Been seeing old friends,and making a few new ones. Lots of cultural stuff too but not enough swimming... well, I don't much like the pools here. Nothing like those in Oz, or spain really.

Nowt much else to say.. other than I'm happay.. haha
