But the star of the show is Ian McDiarmid who is very convincing as the scheming Elector, hell-bent on duty and strict obedience to law and order.

The play could have done without the music which seemed superfluous.

One gripe about the audience. The Donmar is tiny and you simply sit on benches. In the row in front of me a very fat lady must have really annoyed her neighbours by taking up a lot of their space. And opposite me a couple seemed totally uninterested, one spent minutes closely examining his cuff links during one of McDiarmid's very forceful speeches, the other put his feet up on the stage, perhaps half a metre from McDiarmid - the lighting leaves the audience in the front in full view of the actors. Manners, eh?]]> Christine Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:32:09 -0700 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=175592#p175592 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=175592#p175592 Re: Summer Shows, 2010

I won the tickets at work. I was interested to learn that it is a broadway show based on the movie; i always assume the movie comes after. Either way, i'd have to say stay with the film. This production would have been great... if it was a high-school or ameatur/community theatre production. The singing was so-so, the dancing entirely rudimentary, and only the character that really shone was Lina Lamont (Cailin Stadnyk). But really - is over-acting the bimbo actually challenging?

If we had paid $40 a pop for our tickets, i would have felt very ripped off.

On the plus side, the band was great, the music really created excitement - too bad the actors let the air out.]]> MacPaddy Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:49:33 -0700 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&p=175578#p175578 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&p=175578#p175578 Re: Drammen 2010 I want to stand right in front of Shane, and then I'll have a great view of all of the band!

If possible try a few ones out and pick the one that sounds good. Go through all the buttons on the accordion and dont be afraid to pull and press a bit hard. Accordions can be a bit expensive. I got an old Hohner (about 40 years old) it had been tuned and somewhat repaired, I got i for 5000 swedish kroner about 10 years ago. My suggestion would be not to bother to much about wich brand, just get one that seems to be ok and if you really like playing accordion just get a newer and better one.

I'd recommend The James, a brilliant British Pub at the Hörster Strasse. It's a five minute walk from the concert ground though. Check out http://www.thejames.de

I've come to the conclusion it's a tougher song to get right than singers think it is. It merits greater respect than it's given.


I learned that lesson at a place in Denver that had karaoke, and found "Fairytale" on the list. I went with my ex-fiance on a "I'm in a better place now since you dumped my ass...let's hang out" night. She's not much of a singer and had never sang into a mike (which takes some getting used to), and I've sang in bands and such. We took the proper gender roles with the song, and Shane sings too low for me to be heard on a microphone in a noisy bar. I now think it would have been more successful vocally if we had switched genders. Hell, with the gender roles we played in the relationship, it would have been fitting. However, lyrically it was right on target, and made me tear up a bit at how well several lines fit the situation.]]> cagliostro Thu, 29 Jul 2010 06:34:17 -0700 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&p=175565#p175565 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&p=175565#p175565 Re: What Song Is Stuck In Your Head?

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love - Paul: Corinthians: 13; 11-13

The publicity for Michael Attenborough's production of Through A Glass Darkly makes the claim that the 1961 movie from which it is taken was the only one of his films Ingmar Bergman permitted to be adapted for the stage. What this says about Sondheim and Wheeler's A Little Night Music, the tuner adapted from Bergman's 1955 film Smiles of a Summer Night, one can only speculate, but the claim does serve as a reminder that the great film maven had an equally distinguished, if inevitably more ephemeral career, as a theatre director, principally in Sweden's Dramaten Theatre. His theatre work, it will surprise nobody to hear, was centred around the work of Ibsen and Strindberg and clearly these informed his cinematic vision too, though no explanation is given as to why he found Through a Glass uniquely suitable for the stage.

It poses numerous questions for Jenny Worton, the Almeida dramaturg, some of which she solves better than others. Worton finds it necessary to supplement Bergman's comparatively spare screenplay by doubling the dialogue. While this means the play seems fussier and more expositional, sometimes spelling out what the film prefers to leave allusive or ambiguous, I can quite understand why Worton took this route: film and theatre function in different dynamic ranges and require different input from the audience. Unsurprisingly, there are gains and losses here, and you have to wonder whether as un-Bergmanlike a line as "I just want you to know I'm there for you", spoken by Dr Martin (Justin Salinger) as the husband of paranoid-schizophrenic Karin (Ruth Wilson) is just clumsy writing or, my preferred option, whether Jenny Worton has interpolated it deliberately as an invitation to the audience to mock the well-meaning but clueless husband/doctor.

On balance however, the adaptation has to be considered a success. Making us more visceral witnesses to Karin's mental decline seems right in the theatre in a way that would just be ludicrous in a movie. Crucially, a theatre piece plays to a living, breathing, audience, and a film plays to thin air, irrespective of how many spectators are actually viewing the silver screen: it is not organic. So Worton, director Attenborough, and the actors (the remaining two are Ian McElhinney as Karin's self-absorbed novelist father David, and Dimitri Leonidas in an assured professional stage debut as her pubescent teenage brother Max ) give themselves plenty of room to explore the Laing-esque psychology in Bergman's work. RD Laing, after Freud, toiled usefully in the vineyard of madness. Beckett wrote (in Godot) that "We are all born mad. Some remain so". Laing, similarly, argued that what convention considered to be "madness" was in fact a closer connection to self. It was all the rage in the Sixties and influenced, for example, David Bowie's tortured The Man Who Sold The World album (1971) but, with the passing of time and intellectual fashion, much of Laing's theory has stood up to time's tests.

Since she justly won an Olivier Award for her Stella in last year's Streetcar Named Desire at the Donmar and had a mesmerizing co-starring role opposite Idris Elba in BBC TV's Luther, Ruth Wilson has become the latest young British actress whose announcement that she will be publicly reading the London telephone directory from cover to cover should immediately be greeted with the storming of the box office. She is the sort of actor most frequently described as "fiercely intelligent" and while she is this, she is also armed with a strong instinctual sense of character. Her performance as Karin, both heartbreaking and repellant, lingers long after the event.]]> mats Thu, 29 Jul 2010 01:38:47 -0700 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&p=175558#p175558 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&p=175558#p175558 Re: Football forever

Amsterdam will be my first Pogue's gig outside the comfort of the UK and I look forward to it muchly. I am also flying in on the jump-seat of a KLM flight and look forward to that just as much.
Which band has the joy of supporting The Pogues. I am sure it has been answered a few times but I can't find it.

Hope everyone has a great gig and well done John on 200 gigs, nice work if you can get it and all...]]> philipchevron Wed, 28 Jul 2010 13:14:38 -0700 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&p=175551#p175551 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&p=175551#p175551 Re: Youtube videos - Pogues related

I've come to the conclusion it's a tougher song to get right than singers think it is. It merits greater respect than it's given.]]> mats Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:31:15 -0700 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&p=175550#p175550 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&p=175550#p175550 Re: Drammen 2010 Tommygun Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:45:32 -0700 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&p=175549#p175549 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&p=175549#p175549 Re: What Song Is Stuck In Your Head?

Yikes.


Which? The fantastic decade old (or more) Jill Sobule song, or the crappy Katy Perry song?

Its the Jill Sobule song, I'm relieved to say. If anything by Katie Perry shows up in my iPod, there will be an investigation.
(even Jill's song gets old after a few hundred spins--but not bad as earwigs go).]]> PistolPaddyGarcia Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:26:30 -0700 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&p=175548#p175548 http://pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&p=175548#p175548 Re: Youtube videos - Pogues related
