cieling went off.

outside a pub in stamford bridge ,the stadium of chelsea.the game took

book about that period.

second about adopting materials to the stage.based on "his girl friday
"which was adopted from a play to a holywood movie and again to the
stage .with john caird and terry johnson

both were very very very intresting and amusing


2 plays at the national theatre

care what hitler does to poland just give me a good headline which can
sell")

2 west end shows

the RSC (reduced shakespeare company) about

the bible in 90 minutes. the old and the new testiment in brief

too commercial too studential not too funny.

jerry springer the opera

briliant idea became a too long sketch. but built as a solid steel hit
for many years to come in the WE and new york and amsterdam and
sydney....Talkyo (tokio)...............paris
..............etc.etc......

1 shakespeare three- and- a- half-hours tragedy

cymbline

in the swan theatre in stratford .one of the not very known plays of
willie.
briliant performance !!!!

1 west end arthur miller play

the price

no doubt it was the best of my vacation.
not of millers' best plays ,but a very good one.
great direction ,acting ,stage.everything.
a story of two brothers who meet after many years of seperation when
they come to their childhood appartment to sell the whole furniture
to an old, very old, (90) jewish salesman (yes....yes... s a l e s m
a n ...miller...).
much to think about after seeng the play .
the jewel in the crown is the performance of the veteran actor
Warren Mitchel as the salesman.
a performance of "once in a life time" as somebody wrote about it.....
great.great.
die for a ticket.
go with your brothers to see it I say.well I have only sisters
but......it goes the same......

to rest of the "vacation" (if that is the way I spend a so called
"vacation" imagin how daily life is for my tempo........)
I spent 4 days in the famous English country to see some real English
people "out of the city of
london" (chiltington near haywards heath +shrewsbury+ludlow+stratford
upon avon)

that is all this year.

Oh man, this is exactly the kind of encouragement people need to visit England! I'm happy you enjoyed it. If you want to come again via home exchange, here's my central London house http://www.homeforhome.com/casa/chiswick-102.html

Btw dude, it's spelt "Edinburgh" ;-) People always struggle with that one.
