It Works!

So, I now know that it will work. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time to write because I'm off in a few to see Milton's 'Paradise Lost' at the Hackney Empire. Last night I went the Globe Theatre with the young adult group from St. Anne's and saw Shakespeare's 'Titus Andronius.' Very bloody play. A few people in the audience passed out. Not because they're all squeamish but because of the poor air circulation (the hole in the ceiling which allows for natural lighthing) was partially blocked because of black sheets the director wanted up there for mood. That wouldn't have been so bad, but the director also had a smoke machine puffing out stage smoke at regular intervals for mood. We were standing for about 2 hours when the fainting began and some people, I'm sure, had not enough food throughout the day. Add it all up and it's bound to happen. Very well performed though! I'm sure an English major with a feminist bent could use all the violence, mutilation, and possessive treatment of women as fodder for a thesis.

And I've used up my available time. So I once again promise to try to get photos up in the next day or two and find a way to post the last couple months' newsletters. If you don't remember any such promises, it's because I made them but they didn't get posted.

Cheers! :-)
