Recent theatre:
  • Resurrection Blues - the Robert Altman production of Arnold Wesker's Arthur Miller's last play, at the Old Vic - basically, a Jewish guy not getting the whole Jesus thing, but Robert Altman's vision was a little disappointing, and the Ikea-stylee set a little amdram, frankly.

  • The Complicite production of Measure for Measure at the National, which was visually appealing, and truly brought the play to life. Kinda reminded me of a production of Merry Wives that I saw in Stratford when I was at school/college (can't remember) with my family, which was in 1950s dress, and I still remember. When someone brings Shakespeare to life, it's truly amazing.
