The last time I was at the theatre was ...
Bad sign. I cannot remember. So it is just as well to record Saturday July 23 2011 as the last time I went to the theatre. Went to experience Emperor and Galilean as written by Henrik Ibsen and updated by Ben Power.
Ooh was it big and stagey.
It featured a host of people I don't know - because I don't go to the theatre etc etc - but it had Ian McDiarmid. I do know him because he is Mr Bad in the Star Wars things.
An unmistakeable voice - well it is if you've watched the films as many times as I have - it was excellentt to hear it live.
Though I did get a bit freaked when he was urging the anti-hero to "abandon himself". I was waiting for "Give in to your anger."
But this was the Olivier Theatre and not the Death Star.
Utterly brilliant stuff and it made me wonder why i don't go to the theatre more often.
But I think I said that the last time I went.
