lool I think I just got blatantly lied to! Udderbelly woman asked to me to come back at 6.30 for tickets, and Udderbellyman told me on arrival that they'd had only a few tickets so none left.

Tactful man that, covering his partners cockup.


Tbh I am not even too bothered - there is a wealth of talent playing here for Pure Gold at the South Bank Centre till late so I have a good deal anyway! :P Its just one gig after another, and its not even packed out in here. I dont want to move.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

Is anyone going to the Hackney Empire to see one of the Isango Ensemble shows? I've seen one a few years ago and I really liked it.

I went to see their adaptation of La Boheme last night. Loved it.. I'd imagine the ragged trouser philanthropists and the aesop's fables would be a bit more colourful and lively so you are in for a good time if you go!

Travelling Light @ The National Theatre was rather enjoyable this evening...

Good use of combined acting n cinematography.

Brilliant characters and well played with their added charm/wit.

I agree with others the first half was better. The 2nd was a little confusing for me. I was hesitant to go but glad I did.

Shame there were a number of empty seats/rows. (some SFF seats did come avail again few hours before, perhaps too late or no interest)

Saw "Vampirette" again last night. Really enjoyed it with the family. Got there at 6 to collect tickets for the 7:30 show. Was about 95% full. Seated in the circle (balcony), so had a great view. Met some of the cast afterwards for autographs & photos. Worth seeing for great acting, singing, dancing, and laughs. A fun night out. Free tickets all this week from SFF. A few friends are going next weekend.

Went to sze Travelling Lights that didnt inspire me... It was slow, sometimed boring with useless lines, while I expected something beautiful and dynamic as the idea seemed great at first.
I left at the interval :shifty:
