A Night of Street Theatre

One of the things it's very easy to write about at the moment is friendship. After a long, slow-mo and relatively unsociable winter, it's good to reconnect with some dear friends. It's happened a coupla weekends in the last month or so now, just good chilled times with Jake, Matt, Guy and Helen, sometimes all at once - bonus. Quite a motley crew, but there's no disputing that we have some laughs. This posse were out last night, Diego too, on the guestlist at the premiere of 'Burlesque' at the Art Centre on Great Newport Street. The supposed star of the show is Immodesty Blaize, a buxom beauty of the old-school variety, but it was the supporting cast, and the lighting and sound production, that made it a great show. The consensus was that we'd have preferred it a littler sleazier, a little more Lynchean, but this isn't a review of the show... it's more important that it made for a warm and groovy evening out with friends.
