RE: The Official Nonsense Thread
Today I am not at work (rejoice!). I had to take a day off to fit in a bumper crop of theatre.
Just got back from my local cinema where we had Kenneth Branagh's 'Macbeth' beamed in from the Manchester International Festival. I don't normally like being in the cinema/theatre during the day but it was my one chance to see this production. Got up a bit late so ended up having breakfast in there, truly a strange experience! The whole run of the live play in Manchester sold out in NINE minutes. Fortunately this beam-it-into-your-cinema scheme means that you can catch up on shows that you'd never have got tickets for otherwise. It was a brilliant version of what is probably my favourite play - they staged in inside a deconsecrated church and there was mud everywhere (apparently the audience were warned that they might get mud-splattered and I could see that happening given that they had it raining indoors for the first battle!). Kenneth Branagh ( ) was an amazing Macbeth and Alex Kingston did a great job of being a loony Lady. Now I have a few hours to re-set my brain out of Shakespeare mode as tonight it's 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime'. I'll be all theatred out by tomorrow I think. |
