A busy week ......

Three visits to the theatre this week - a bit like buses, none for ages and then 3 come along. Tuesday was Eric's at the Everyman which was about the Liverpool club, famous for Punk, Echo & the Bunneymen and Teardrop Explodes. Unfortunately I missed the first half, due to a meeting, but the interaction of the music with the play was excellent and very enjoyable.
Wednesday saw Mel and I at Southport Arts Theatre for The Death & Life of Sherlock Holmes. One man took all of the parts including Holmes, Conan Doyle, Moriarty etc. Again very good theatre. Back to the Arts Theatre on Thursday for poet Luke Wright. He lives is Norwich, went to school in Colchester and is 26 although looks much younger. He was a cross between a stand up comedian and a poet - he did 8 'chapters' from his life as a man which spanned things such as love, camping dad and death. An amusing evening made better by a meal at Cloisters beforehand!
Next week we are back to no bus at all.
