But they literally mention in the article that the PCC have put in a bid to take it over…..?

Awww *hug emoji* You were today years old etc…

“You exhibitionist!”
(I went out on a limb & assumed you’d make the same brain connection…)

Yeah, I think it’s always only ever going to be OK, such are these things, but will make the discoveries you really resonate with more worthwhile…?

Well, now I have Sheela-Na-Gig stuck in my head…. FWIW, my GF has been to the show & says it was “OK”, so I hope that helps… 😶

So, some structural similarities, but a totally different show! PowerPoint presentation; a video; 2x scripted cold-reads (with comedian guests + an audience volunteer for the second one). Bit loose & WiP, not quite as good as Saturday maybe, but like, still great? 20 mins longer than advertised…

It was a long shot that you might still have a video… ;) I think you’ll love it, hope it reappears on streaming/digital before too long…

The Falls (1980) ⭐ 7.1 | Comedy, Sci-Fi 3h 15m | Not Rated

Oh man, it’s the culmination of all that early stuff. 3+ hours long… I can lend you the VHS if you like :) www.imdb.com/title/tt0080...

Not sure I’ve seen VFR, or all of the shorts, but I definitely read a lot about them as a teen. I trust you’ve seen The Falls…..?

First time at Soho Theatre Walthamstow, to see Patti Harrison + pals (Inc Ayo Edebiri!!) being v funny on a wizarding theme… Beautifully restored theatre, but c’mon no central line array? Sound was iffy all night, seems like a pretty big oversight.

I think we’re going to go to her “regular” show in the week, FYI…

Yup. Though I did actually quite like the songs… 😬

He wanted to see our hands!!

#nowwatching Trick or Treat (1986) RIP Ozzy

Best enjoyed without a pounding head, I’d say. If you’ve not yet watched, I will pre-empt it by saying it contains one of the worst performances by an English actor I’ve ever seen, which does somewhat stick out….

Mahjong! 🤗 You’re in for a treat…

My suspicion is that I might also quite like it, therefore I must never ever see it…

I have pre-judged that Wallis Island film & decided it looks unbearable. Hope not to see you calling it “sweet”, “charming” or anything else positive later… :)

Having experienced some truly dreadful stadium rock sound last week, I’m mightily impressed by how clear & powerful the PA at Finsbury Park is. All d&b, I noticed, which can’t hurt… #Slayer

I believe actual Satan might be summoned (council permit pending)

Amon Amarth are pretty ridiculous and I am very much here for it #slayer

Oh yeah, that’s a lovely one!

I’m counting on you to maintain the manifestation field around Worthy Farm until at least Monday….

Thanks Joe, it’s appreciated! (I’ll have to watch on iPlayer later though. Iron Maiden tonight innit!)

Not even a consistent style guide 🙄

2001 was Kane Summer! The Court did a season of productions (or readings) of all her plays. Thinking about it, they divided the TD diagonally, to accommodate the mirror, and the audience for 4.48 were on the stage, so it might have just been the practicality of the design this time.

I mean, probably for the best… 🫥 Unlikely I’ll see this revival, though I’d be fascinated to revisit it 24 years after I worked on the last one (when it *was* in the Theatre Downstairs). I suddenly remembered about this song, were you aware of it…? youtu.be/bP5a2BM9liU?...

I was still yet to go to an ATP then, but friends who went (who also hated it) described it to me & I remember thinking “well, that sounds great”… 🫣

HBD fellow Gemini! We’re a mere 2 years & 4 days apart…

Mine’s always worse if I’m stressed/anxious (especially at night) & it can become a vicious circle that feeds it. I guess my (possibly poor) advice is just relaxation and/or finding an activity that could distract from it. Is bad all day or just more noticeable at certain times?

She will protect us, under the thunderdome…
