Still in the dark, numbers.

Anyway, I have now seen my very first RSC production. Wow, wow and triple wow!

Hey OCNot - Went to the RSC last month for the first time to see Twelfth Night. Enjoyed it very much but if you really want to see Shakespeare at its best you have to go to the Globe in London, been to see Titus Androncius - the bloody scenes were so realistic 15 people fainted and had to be carried out!!
(none of my crew I'm glad to say) and last month went to see Love's Labour's Lost which was awesome.

Course it helps having a son living in London whom you are obliged to visit once in a while :)) He doesnt moan coz we always pay for his ticket too.

Heh, speaking of bloody scenes reminds me I went to see my school's production of Dracula a couple days ago. Very good (we have some great actors) and the set was amazing--blinding red and splattery all over, with a huge spider web across the top, but you could only see bits in each scene since they never lit the whole stage. But they promised lots of blood, and all we got were a few spurts of blood every time they'd stab a vampire in its coffin.

Did everyone in the house shout out: It's not the cough that carries you off, but the coffin they carry you offin?

Wouldn't mind seeing a theatrical version of Dracula, the book makes me laugh! I like it, despite the fact that Mina is a bit thick and has not much self respect




(guess twas written by a 19th century male? Was Bram a faux name?)

In the play (at least the version I saw) she's got a lot more self-respect and is quite a bit smarter than everyone else. Granted, she gets seduced by the vampire, but that's not really her fault.

Nettie, would love to go to London, but at this exchange rate? Passport renewal is pending though so who knows what will happen (should take about 6-8 months at current bureaucratic speeds)!

Do you also have to give your fingerprints for digital inclusion on the chip? That's the newest Brave New World number we get treated to nowadays.

Good! she being a bit smarter would make story a lot better. It is still my favourite vampire story (I read this dreadful chicklit book called Undead and Unwed, once. Twas a piece of paper drivel!

Hi Prinz! No digital fingerprints yet. Are you kidding? They still haven't solved the voting machine problem that arose SEVEN YEARS AGO...
