Drama of a good kind

On a wet, dreary Wednesday, good to remind myself of organised treats coming up in the next couple of months...

Go down the modern day rabbit hole and reinvent yourself in the digital world. Monotone daily dull to multicoloured media magic... Amazing effects promised. Whilst Damon Albarn OBE (Blur, Gorillaz) is not necessarily my cup

Alan made you a live theatre fan as well? :) Or did he rekindle your earlier interest?

The last actor that makes me want to see them on stage is Philip Quast, but alas, his new production (Follies) is only 3 performances, all the way down in Australia and in May when I have serious exams required for my thesis. Praying for another time.

Yes, I must credit AR with making me a live theatre fan. Although I had been to the theatre with family/school as a child/young adult, I can truly say that I never chose to do so myself. When living in London during the 1980s I preferred cinema, occasional opera as a treat, but mostly meeting friends in smoky pubs after work. To think that I could so easily seen AR in his prime in Les Liaisons Dangereuses in 1885 now drives me mad! But at the time I didn't even know it was happening. *sigh*

I hope you get your dream to see Philip Quast perform live one day...

The agenda is full then, good! Enjoy!

There's so much good theatre on constantly. The more I look, the more I see... but must prudently restrain myself and not be greedy! :-)

I really liked wonder.Land!

And the Found 111 venue is magic.

wonder.land certainly looks visually exciting and I love the concept.

Found 111 is amazing. Perfect for making the audience feel part of a very intimate drama. :-)

Ralph Fiennes AND Ibsen? May I hate you? Please? *g*

I need incentives in order to further educate myself - and in this instance Ralph is that incentive. :-)

What a gorgeous selection of treats!

And don't believe all the reviews. I thought Wonder.land was fab. It explored a range of complex themes and social issues, and looked into the pros and cons of young people's use of social media channels. Plenty of food for thought! Great effects too!
