Anybody like to go to the theatre?
I went to the Crucible last night to see a charity event with Michael Palin. It was called '40 Years without a Proper Job'. Samuel West (Prunella Scales and Timothy West's son) interviewed Michael Palin about his life. I can honestly say that he seems to be one of the most genuinely funny and lovely men in the world. He's led about 10 lives.

Yes I do enjoy going to the theatre, last time I went was to see Sinatra. However have been to quite a few productions like the one you mentioned Mrs H.
Keep meaning to get back into it, as it makes a nice change

I've only been once, but there's lots that I keep wanting to go and see. Alas, real life is rather cruel to me!

I go as often as I can. We're fortunate in Sheffield to have The Crucible and Lyceum that show wonderful plays and attract big names.

Realistically, the closest places for me are Milton Keynes and London, both of which are a good hour's journey away (MK only has coaches running to it). They're both also quite frighteningly priced, when you consider that my monthly income is £910 after tax (then subtract bills, rent, food... ). In principle, I'd be there weekly, but in reality?

I'd also like to go more often than I do, but can't get there that frequently, living in the cultural wasteland that is Lancashire.

The Crucible is a beautiful theatre, Missus I LOVE the theatre..I could quite happily live in one! I've worked in the theatre for a few years and I love it. I'm currently doing some stage management on Macbeth which is great! I go to about 4 shows a month.

It's closing down in the summer for 2 years to be refurbished which I'm a little sad about but it should be amazing when it's done. Aren't you supposed to call it The Scottish Play Lolly? lol

I've been to the Crucible a few times. I was invited to a press night a few months ago cos my friend works there. I was standing about a foot away from Nigel Harman The 4 theatres we have in Leeds are all really great and they all serve a different purpose which is quite a beautiful thing to have. Haha, only if you're superstitious!

Most people in theatreland aren't happy that the Olympics are coming to Britain. It means that the funding they usually get will be pulled and given to the Olympics committee.

The government has already said it's going to be dipping into the Lotteries funding to pay for the overspend it's already occured. I have been to a theatre in Leeds but I can't remember what it was called. It was just outside the centre of town surrounded by Chinese restaurants.
