went to see the heights in the project recently. a modern reversioning of wuthering heights. great stuff. was quite hungover though. nearly started crying over kathy and heathcliff's woes.

i can be a bit delicate when hungover.

you can't beat a rural drama festival for good theatre.

this is the time of year for it.

I like Mark O'Rowe's and Conor McPherson's stuff.

Terminus was good last year and looking forward to The Seafarer in May.

i haven't seen the latter two you talk about but every time I go see something I'm always hoping it'll live up to that experience. so far, it's never been matched. do you know if either of those plays will be shown any time soon?

Don't think so , there's sometimes tiny productions down the country you only hear about when it's too late, but presumably with the exposure he's been getting recently someone'll cook one up. Hope so.

Romeo and Juliet at the Abbey is the bomb.

The rain machine is awesome. 2 rows from the front and didnt get wet.

i've been flirting with the idea to see this but am always dubious about modernised pays - so this one's good, yeah?

I thought so. Very good production, strong performances, humourous, hottt Juliet and THE RAIN MACHINE with added thunder.

Maybe its just that im obsessed with storms???

Nah, really good i thought.

also - am I wrong in thinking one of the Dudleys works in the Gate?

Yuss. Hello.

That Francesca Annis is a very nice lady. She gives us sweets. And she starred in 2 episodes of Danger Man with Patrick McGoohan.

Life is a Dream is running in the Project at the mo. Nobody's said it's shit yet.

Sooo, anyone booked their tickets for the upcoming dublin theatre festival? Oh I feel all organised. I'm going to see Vanessa Redgrave in the Joan Didion Magical Thinking thing. Very exciting. Also Fiona Shaw in the Beckett play. Hedda Gabler in The Gate and a Kafka play with the Nick Cave music where they stick the set to the ceiling and people swing off it or something.. I might have imagined that last bit. I'm VERY excited. Yeayyy!

 

[Mitchum]

Yeah got some tickets for Metamorphosis. Looking forward to it.

Whats this called then? its sounds like it'd be brilliantly pretentious.

Has anyone seen The Gate's performance of Waiting For Godot that's touring around at the moment? It's on here on Friday and I might go see it.
