In this post I mentioned that “no-one I like or trust” would recommend U2 to me. This was proved on Wednesday evening when, over a pint and a man-chat with James, I let slip that I have a Phil Collins song on my iPod, and that I like it. It was the closest I’ve seen… Continue reading Music To Walk Home To

Illuminated Productions – Death and the Maiden by Ariel Dorfmann
Illuminated Productions are presenting Ariel Dorfmann’s stunning Death and the Maiden at the New Wimbledon Studio Theatre from Tuesday 9th to Saturday 13th January 2007.

Performances are at 7:45… Continue reading Illuminated Productions – Death and the Maiden by Ariel Dorfmann
Video Highlights
Sorry about the delay with this, but here is a video with highlights of Scriptless Wonder. Take a look! It was shot by a couple of ladies who came along from the UK Theatre Network, and by their own admission it’s pretty poor. But it gives you a good idea of the kind of lunacy… Continue reading Video Highlights
Some Kind Of Comedian
One of the Carltons most sought-after stars is a chap called Ian Ward, who has often been told that he should go a become a stand-up comedian. Well, he took the advice, and went and became one. I went to see him and several other acts a few weeks ago, at The Ship in Borough… Continue reading Some Kind Of Comedian
Waiting…
A quiet interlude before the heaving masses arrived. It was much more cheerful than this looks, honest. Picture courtesy of Ian Ward.
No-one Gives A Fuck What Benedict Nightingale Says
…to the extent that NOT ONE PERSON who came to see the show came as a result of his recommendation. How does that feel, Ben? Or can I call you Bendy?
That’s That
And that is also that as well. Over and done with, completely over. Finished. Done with. Over and finished. Done over and finished with. Over. Finished over with. Done. Scriptless Wonder, Benedict Nightingale’s #1 show for the week of 11-16 July 2006, has finished. In its place is a void, a shadow, a silence. I… Continue reading That’s That
Two Down…
…three to go. And it’s going very well so far. The theatre was more full last night than on Tuesday, so maybe that’s a trend that will continue. We’re not sure how much influence Mr Nightingales recommendation has had – no queues round the block yet. The teams have been very good, although the idea… Continue reading Two Down…
Here We Go
Get-in and Technical/Dress rehearsal tonight! Actually, there’s not much in the way of ‘getting-in’ to be done. We’ll use the lights just as they are, there’s no set, just a box of props, and the 100-piece orchestra are arriving at about 5 from Rio. What could possibly go wrong? As far as rehearsal is concerned,… Continue reading Here We Go
Oooohhhhh Shhhiiiiiiiitttt
Scriptless Wonder is on next week, and what appeared in the Times on Saturday, in the theatre pages of the culture magazine? I’m compering the #1 show in town! We’d better make it good…
