20 minute interval and citizen journalism

Twenty minutes is too short.
I tried to blog the first half of the evening during the interval.
But ran out of time.
And afterwards...
Well, by the time I got home this morning, no, that was not the time for blogging.

But, in summary, a stunning evening.
Two excellent plays (not nearly as "dated" as some had feared) providing more than enough food for thought, however much thought one thought one might like to think
Two great casts doing fine things to them.
And then an evening of wonderful craic with amazing people who I am honoured to call friends.

Tired now
And the weekend is still a'comin in!

Happy birthday Tracey Garrard!  A day later, and many years younger than REPS, but also a very important part of our lives.

REPS @ 80

80 years! Quite an achievement!

It was in 17 February 1931 that the Repertory Players staged their first production. As part of the celebrations, the two plays from that far off night are being presented tonight at a Gala Evening.

They are "Fame and the Poet" (Lord Dunsany) and "Magic" (G K Chesterton).

So it's black tie and party frock this evening.

And I expect more to write about afterwards.
But for now...

Happy Birthday, REPS!
