We drove over to Stratford-upon-Avon to see the Second Thoughts production of A Streetcar Named Desire.
It was an excellent event and Ian did a great job as Props Manager, especially the part where Stanley Kowalski throws the radio ‘off set’ and we hear the sound of it breaking. Apparently a well-timed catch from Ian and a load of cutlery being dropped out-of-site of the audience did the trick!
It wasn’t a full-house – Ian’s wife Ann was there and so was Pat, his Mum – but those that were there were generous in their applause – justifiably so, as the acting was superb, especially Anne Bowen who played the part of Blanche.
We’re thinking of getting the DVD of the 1951 film version starring Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh.
It finished around 10.15 and in spite of the3 extensive roadworks near the M40, we were home by 11.30.
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
