Take two great actors- Ian Mckellen and Roger Rees- and they act wonderfully in what for me is a dreadful, pretentious, tedious play. The only drama was a group of sixth formers in the row before us who were attempting to unwrap toffees in a silent theatre.
The other good bit was, in one of the silences, you could hear a distinct snore from one of the back rows.
John liked it and I thought - very Beckett this, what a funny way to spend your thirtieth wedding anniversary. Even stranger than our distinctly low key wedding day which consisted of Stratford Register office and sausage and chips in a pub in Plaistow High Street.
In keeoing with tradition we had free tickets for the theatre
West Side Story part 4 at South Bank. It was brilliant- dancing and singing 3 songs, 'America' 'Officer Kruptje' and 'Somewhere', then a showing of the film.
This was very enjoyable. Reminds me of C.S. Lewis and that world of the past, just out of reach.I liked Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen but found Alice too posh and neat to take on the jabawocky .
Myself and a few friends went to Mulberry Place to meet our councillors and protest about these divisive arches. As I predicted they withdrew the item at the last minute but Andrew Gilligan has warned it may be back. We met our local councillors, hastily backpedaling over the allegations in recent Dispatches' programme. We decided discretion is the best part and accepted their kind offer of a lift home.
With Rosemary to this 'private view'
