nevermind. I realise that the threat of a 'special gift' is often too much for people. heh heh.

The Gull

Fucking amazing.

Buy tickets in advance, Wednesday was sold out and the only reason me and Y^2 got in is because we bought some tickets off some people who didn't need them.

It's fusion done right. The attention to detail was wonderful, every chance from traditional Noh was done purposefully and carefully. All of the non-Japanese actors trained for a year beforehand. The Noh ensemble and the primary Noh actor were flown in from Japan. The masks were specifically made for the show. The chorus was beautiful.

Just. Yes.

Let's do that next week together?

I will say yes, but you should find someone else to drag along so that everyone has partners because Bailie would be unhappy if I ditched him for you.
