No theatre this week (or next) but tomorrow night, the 30th anniversary screening of Withnail & I at the BFI, followed by a Q&A with Richard E Grant. And Bruce Robinson too apparently. 😛

On Thursday I shall be heading to the Menier Chocolate Factory to see 'The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole'.
I was going to publish my diary once until I was threatened with legal action by 8 key members of the Cabinet and several members of the opposition. I can say no more.

I too am going to see The Kite Runner at Nottingham Playhouse, where it's flight began.
I suspect many stops on the tour are selling it as being direct from the West End. I'm not sure that will wash in Nottingham!

Starlight Express on Wednesday. I'm so intrigued by what they've done with it.
Fingers crossed it's not filled with fans who insist on screaming at every opportunity.

Will be in Stockholm for a week from Saturday and visiting a seminar about Swedish work and life ballance at the Goethe Institute Monday to Friday. No time for theatre during the working week but planning to see Richard III and The Lady from the Sea at the weekend. Both plays are in Swedish without subtitles and playing at the beautiful Dramaten theatre. And I might have the chance to catch an encore of the Hedda Gabler NT Live as well- they didn't show it in Germany.

Starlight Express on Friday night. Went to see it when I was a kid and almost forgot everything about it except I thought it was fantastic. Booked for nostalgia's sake and very curious!

Tonight I shall be trying to avoid shouting out lots of nun puns to Stella Gonet at 'Doubt'. It'll be a hard habit to break.
On Saturday I shall be trying to stand up in my roller skates for the matinee of 'Starlight Express'. In the evening I shall be at the Hampstead Theatre for 'Prism'. I plan to wait by the stage door and ask Robert Lindsay how Rufus Hound is. I think he'll like that.

I hope the sun will come out tomorrow, cos I'm finally off to see Annie. I just need to find my ticket, which I put somewhere 'safe' six months ago. It's a hard knock life.
I love my trips to London; it's soo vibrant. I am an expert, after all!!!

Couple of platform performances at the NT. Today it's with Janie Dee and Phillip Quast and tomorrow it'd the future of musical theatre.

That sounds really interesting, shame I can't go since I'm already booked for Oslo at NT. I'll be fascinated to know how it works as I love Berg's opera and obviously Winterreise is a masterpiece.
