Just back from the 24/7 theatre festival - two excellent plays by new writers. One, Pawn, gets an unreserved recommendation from me. A deeply black comedy. Very, very funny, very bleak. Perfect.
The second, The Fading Hum, was less successful, but still worth seeing. The festival runs until Sunday. Theatre lovers should catch.

And more at the 24/7 festival: A Woman of Substance. A middle-aged woman whose (female) partner has died, and a 16 year old girl running away from home meet in a park and go on a wild binge of booze and drugs for a week to put the hurt behind and find a kind of poetry of excess... I liked... Funny, lyrical, powerful writing...

Sounds excellent. Have a great trip. By the way - did you get round to Shakespeare Retold?William the White wrote:Off to London for a few days. To catch three shakespeare's I've never seen. At The Globe. My current favourite theatre, where you can stand in the yard, close to, or, even, amongst, the action - for a fiver! Excellent. The complete plays collection takes a good stride forward.![]()

Back to the old house.
I've woken up sick and tonight a friend is meeting me there to clear out a street worth of hard rubbish, like chests of drawers, wardrobes and a bed base that still needs to wind down the stairs

The Globe was excellent. The productions the usual broad stroke, the acting ebullient and every possible bit of bawdiness dug out and displayed. Great, clear story telling, and Roger Allam made an outstanding, hilarious, disgraceful Falstaff in the two Henry IV plays. It was clear why Henry VIII is so rarely performed - it's, dramatically, the least coherent Shakespeare I've ever seen... more like 'scenes from the life and times' than a play.
But The Globe for a fiver, standing right in the action, is the biggest live theatre bargain in the country.
Get to see Merry Wives of Windsor later on and I'll have just eleven plays to go to complete the collected works... some of them hardly ever performed. It's going to be difficult.
