There is what I hope would be a good (free) exhibition on at The Photographers Gallery, "Claire Ahoe: Studio Works", which is in C London (moved recently if case you will automatically head to its old premises).Dark Pusshttp://morganas-cat.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-36689361465546910442013-06-20T17:48:09.630+01:002013-06-20T17:48:09.630+01:00I'm glad youliked it as much as I did!

I have to raise my hand and say that I was one of those who found it of more mixed quality. Despite the wonderful concept, I felt that it didn't flow as smoothly as it could have done, and there were some elements that struck me as rather odd. You can read my (rather long) take on it here - and feel free to disagree, of course:<br /><br />http://theidlewoman.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/peter-and-alice.htmlThe Idle Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05464542912911577658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-80083798891920449712013-06-20T10:45:02.660+01:002013-06-20T10:45:02.660+01:00This does sound rather wonderful - especially as I...This does sound rather wonderful - especially as I'm a big fan of Ben Whishaw. I wish I was able to go to the theatre more often these days. I remain to be convinced that Dame J is better than Dame M on stage though - I've seen each of them once and found Dame J too loud, and although both are superb at comedy, Dame M has the edge for me in the withering put-down.Annabel (gaskella)http://gaskella.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-40905097935136254892013-06-20T08:05:02.745+01:002013-06-20T08:05:02.745+01:00Ah, this question I replied to when you asked abou...Ah, this question I replied to when you asked about it the first time! Sadly, I had intended to on this trip - but remembered a friend's birthday lunch that was happening the same day (so not sad that I went to that, of course, but it scuppered exhibition plans!)StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-26972321635548065572013-06-20T07:40:24.179+01:002013-06-20T07:40:24.179+01:00And did you see any photography exhibitions while ...And did you see any photography exhibitions while you were in London?Dark Pusshttp://morganas-cat.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-8741644440058049762013-06-19T23:52:33.759+01:002013-06-19T23:52:33.759+01:00Yippee!

Well, I smiled more ...Yippee! First to comment :)<br /><br />Well, I smiled more than once during this "review" - the play sounds as lovely as I'd hoped.! I am praying a recording becomes available.<br />I'm going to have to have a long discussion with myself about the merits of Dame M and Dame J. That's a very difficult decision! I appreciate them both so much!<br />And I laughed to myself thinking about a British standing ovation. We Americans are so hasty in giving them out. You should have seen me at a cricket match - practically had to sit on my hands to keep from cheering for every run scored!samarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110418558011704941noreply@blogger.com
