Went to see a play tonight, The Julie Thesmo Show (a modern adaptation of Aristophanes' "Thesmophoriazusae") which was very good. We intended to go yesterday but they unexpectedly sold out utterly within minutes. I booked this time and a good job too because they'd sold out again by the time we arrived. I've yet to think of anything to criticize; it was extremely funny, true to the original and involved amongst other things Euripides in drag, a male stripper and some of the most obscure jokes ever (to get them all you'd have to be a Classics and Philosophy buff, familiar with the University and Durham student customs, be at least vaguely familiar with Star Wars, Superman and British TV, be familiar with British commercial radio adverts and know what a rampant rabbit is - and there were probably many more none of us three picked up on, or remembered). I really enjoyed it.
Whilst googling for a suitable url for the show I bumped into the blog of the guy playing Euripides. Small world.
