When theatre is good I think it's hard to beat but it's rare to see something wonderful. <BR/><BR/>It's funny isn't it, somehow these kind of shows wouldn't be right except on a Sunday! There is something cosy and re assuring about themRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-8497715735483327652009-02-11T18:09:00.000+00:002009-02-11T18:09:00.000+00:00My cousin, aunt and godson went to Twelth Night an...My cousin, aunt and godson went to Twelth Night and adored it. And they were still smiling the next day when I met up with them! My mother and I recently saw A Little Night Music at the Menier Chocolate Factory - very wonderful too. I agree with you re Sundays - it is the only excuse for the BBC version of Lark Rise to Candleford which has strayed far from the book! Me, I'd like some more Forsyte Saga. donanicolaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-86789521897454978812009-02-11T14:33:00.000+00:002009-02-11T14:33:00.000+00:00Hi Kathleen!Hope all is okay with you. I'm glad I ...Hi Kathleen!<BR/>Hope all is okay with you. I'm glad I am painting a nice picture for you but I don't want to make you sad!<BR/>Actually the shops really vary. The big department stores and everywhere in the Oxford St/ Regent St type area is open, normally 12-6 (outside London it's normally 10- 4 or 11-5). The more boutique type places are not open so much.<BR/>It still has that feeling of a different day though and the Sunday lunches, period dramas, Countryfile and songs of praise are still very much going!! (I don't like SOP but I suppose I do like that it's still there)<BR/><BR/>The Donmar productions are so consistently good aren't they. They are running a season at the Wyndham's theatre by Leicester Square tube so this production wasn't at the Donmar. It's an amazing season and I think the theatre has a larger capacity which is good. They are trying to get more plays on in London which is a good thing I think, otherwise everything at the moment is a musical based on the songs of someone or from a film. I'm not against 1 or 2 of those but I like to see a real play sometimes too!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618358253237839493.post-77663339012814800882009-02-11T13:53:00.000+00:002009-02-11T13:53:00.000+00:00Hi Rose, Once again, you have instilled in me a fe...Hi Rose, <BR/>Once again, you have instilled in me a feeling of homesickness. Sundays in London. The shops were closed (are they still?), gathering at the local, Sunday lunch, period TV. I found myself thinking of Songs of Praise! You even gave mention of the Donmar Warehouse, always wonderful entertainment there.
