They were GREAT. Despite it being meltingly hot (show was outdoors), I skanked myself silly (boy are my legs tired this morning). The band was tight and not a bad note all night. Terry was sardonic and hilarious - kept bashing Billy Joel all night. Lynval dedicated Why>Doesn't Make It Alright to Trayvon Martin and A Message To You Rudy to George Zimmerman.

The Commedia Dell'Arte by Giacomo Oreglia.

Borrowed from the library. Why oh why do people insist on writing in the margins in pencil in library books? It's so annoying.

It's entertaining to me to see if users whose "ranks" are at the Comedia level somehow mach the personality of their Comedia character.

I always assumed it was required that one changed one's personality when one advanced one's Medusan Commedia persona. And then I always felt inherently doomed when I was a Red Shirt.

The Norman Conquests Trilogy by Alan Ayckbourn.

I saw this trilogy of plays performed last year at the Liverpool Playhouse.

The trilogy is set over a weekend in different places in a house, Table Manners in the dining room, Living Together in the living room and Round and Round the Garden in the garden. I love the way that the three plays interlock with each other, quite a feat for any playwright. I'd be pushed to write something on the scale of this.

Just picked up from the library:

True North - a life in the Music Business, by Bernie Finkelstein (producer, manager, founder of True North Records and probably the "most important" individual in Canada's folk & roots rock history over the last 40 years).

And just arrived in the mail from a £5.00 ebay score:

The Fun Palace, by Agnes Bernelle (i've been after an inexpensive copy of that one for a while, and while there's less pictures than i'd hoped i'm still excited).

So looks like i'm setting aside Paris 1919 - Six Months that Changed The World (Margaret MacMillan) for a few weeks at least....

Bad Seed: The Biography of Nick Cave (1996)

A good read, just ordered the Bad Seed LPs missing from my collection.

The Servant of Two Masters by Carlo Goldoni.

Enjoyed One Man, Two Guvnors which was the adaptation of this that I saw in London in June so when I spotted this in the library I felt that had to get it out.

Re-reading after a lengthy gap and laughing out loud constantly.

Urban Legend by Laurence Wilson.

Laurence is a Liverpool Playwright and a friend of mine. In our youth, Laurence and I were on a drama course together but lost touch and were reunited again a few years ago on Facebook.

I haven't read or seen any of his plays before, but I have read a few bits and pieces he has put up on Facebook and this play seems to reflect his writing style. I'm not sure if I like this one yet, but because of my connection to him I felt that I had to read it.
