Hamlet

[liadnan]

Just back from Hamlet at the Old Vic: fabulous but I'm too tired to write about it now. Hamlet as a cross between Kevin and Perry and an Indie Kid to my mind.

No beach volleyball though, which I'm sure would disappoint Alan and remove the possibility of Joff bringing into play the most appalling pun in the history of theatre criticism.

There are at least four people reading this to whom the above paragraph will not be entirely obscure.

It is not obscure to me, but I don't remember the exact pun. Can you refresh my memory?

Have just got offer for half-price tickets to Jerry Sringer. Hmm.

[liadnan]

I think I should leave it to Joff to own up to the full heinousness, if that is a word, which I doubt, of his crime.

Not sure I want to go (and have no money currently), so have forwarded the offer to you - maybe you and milliesioux could go?

PPS. Me too! Are you coming over here in the afternoon first?

My comments threads seem to be the place for other people to organise their social lives these days, I see.
The icon looks rather like the Cottingley Faries.

oooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! yew 'aven't been nibbling at the cat food again ol' boy, eh?

[alan1957.livejournal.com]

'n' anyway, i commented on yer post...down there...at the bottom...

[liadnan]

Is fine really. But H and Fairymelusine were running up a comments thread arranging their drinking plans the other day, and surely there are more efficient places to do this...

When not in Hackney

I live in Cottingley. I ain't seen no fairies.

Re: When not in Hackney

[liadnan]

Well they wouldn't come out for a rough chap like you, would they?

[booklectica]

(with apologies to liadnan for continuing to organise my social life on his journal)

It's the window of that shop in Smithfield Market that you apparently described as 'The Katy Shop'. :)

Yes, please do come over in the afternoon. We can take Holly for a walk.

[liadnan]

So why are there what look like fairies in the foreground?

[alan1957.livejournal.com]

it wouldn't *BE* a katy shop wivout fairies...also, if yew look v closely yew'll see that they're made of white chocolate...though i'm told that real fairies are poisonous...although that might just be the wings.

[booklectica]

Because they sell fairies, as every good shop should.

I meant Spitalfield Market, by the way. The one by Liverpool Street. If you ever need a present for an extremely kitsch friend, go to Queens in Spitalfield Market.

Good to see you last night. Was talking to Kate C as well about arranging a meetup sometime, as has been a while since proper clique drinks. And she's not met Holly yet.

Ooh. I'm going to that show on Wednesday. Nice to hear that it's fabulous.

I saw the Sam West version at the RSC which was okaaay-ish. Can't even begin to guess the pun though.

"Hamlet as a cross between Kevin and Perry..."

'n' they used ter bug me as well...still, am pleased yew enjoyed it.
