Hoorah - Darkeyes just read your review, and now he wants to go!!!! :o)))
We just need some hints from you about what general time it ends, and how we could best travel away from the place. I'm guessing it will need to be an over-nighter. But masks, cloaks, dead acrobats - oh my, Darkeyes REALLY wants to go now! ;o)) (Tim's probably in it as he's done another disappearing act, so that would only add to the interest)
Sorry I missed your call! I've been putting my essay together to hand in tomorrow and my phone was upstairs. Also, I've suddenly gone down with a chesty cough, so I wouldn't have made much sense anyway. :/
You will need somewhere to stay, unless you mind very late trains. There is some walking involved, too, through Clapham. It's not too far, probably about 30 minutes, and you could take a taxi. The performance is 3 hours long, and we did manage to hold hands and keep together.
It is awesome. We're considering going again, if at all possible.
No problems with the missed call; Darkeyes and I were both really sleepy and not making much sense anyway, but he did perk up when reading your review of the Masque and got quite excited about it! :o) He was busily checking the underground maps for how to get there. We're in London in a couple of weeks for Nutcracker! and were deciding whether to try to go for it then, but I think it will be a separate endeavour (possibly February) and involving one or two more of our little gang. :o) I think an overnight might be better; getting from Battersea to Liverpool Street for the 11.30pm train might be a bit of a worry - hate jumping on as the train is leaving the station! - and if we miss that we're stuck in London until 6am (not a problem for D, but there's a limit to how many hours I can spend in gay clubs watching him dance like a beautiful demon until dawn!). Hmm, glad to hear that you managed to keep together; I was a bit worried about that and was planning to plead that Darkeyes was my carer and I could not possibly be separated from
( ... )
We got off the tube at Clapham Common (I think) and walked the rest of the way. It wasn't bad, and we passed a takeaway called 'Man Ho'.
We normally stay at the Victory Services Club, but it's members only. I would recommend staying overnight, as it's a tiring evening on your feet. Gabriel's stomach muscles have only just stopped aching.
As for keeping together, no one leapt up and pulled G&I apart. You're given cloaks, so you can conceal the fact that you're holding hands. We just stayed together and wandered, and it was fine. Also, if you get panicky, there are 'guards' everywhere in black masks. Just tell them you don't feel well and they lead you to the nearest exit. It's not like the chamber of horrors.

Perhaps I could stow away in a suitcase...

I would love to package it up and send it to you, but there was a live cat involved and I don't think customs would be too happy about that. :(
