This is nothing but a shameless plug, so if you are sick of adverts, infomercials and other schemes to part you from your hard-earned cash, then read no further.
Still with me? Good, I love a willing audience. A young theatre group called Artreach will be performing Hamlet around mid-December and I am sponsoring their radio advertising via FMR 101.3. What do I get out of it? Well, apart from the warm fuzzy feeling that I’m doing something worthwhile, not a whole lot (but the feeling is very warm and fuzzy indeed).
If you’re in Cape Town and you happen to be interested in an evening of Shakespeare, the details are all in the blinky thing in the sidebar. I’ll probably be lurking somewhere in the back row wearing leather and a scowl, so I do hope to see you all there.

Thou art a kind benefactor, good sir.
Now, please let Auntie Red know: what’s your e-mail address?
Mine is Redsaid(at)redsaid.net I’ve written a letter that has to be sent to several people, including you.

Hmm, a chance to see the scowl in person. Whoohoo! I live on the other side of the boerewors curtain so can’t promise I shall be there but give a definite maybe!

Is this where I’m supposed to feel excluded for living in another part of the world? A place where it’s cold? Where pollution reigns unchallenged? Where people scowl to greet each other?
Pfft, I say.

Good for you! Now send me a ticket and I’ll be there to support the event.

You’ll be wearing leather and a scowl? You know, that would almost make it worth the 24-hour flight. Almost.

paul: Or rain, or snow, or gloom of night.
gavin: Thanks. Of course, if your comment was automated blog spam, it would be programmed to say that, but I’m not one to look a compliment horse in the mouth 🙂

Too bad I live in Nebraska. Though Africa is on my list of places to visit at some point in my life, I don’t think I will catch the show.

No wonder you weren’t around at the Masque Theatre when we called in – took photos but we didn’t get to see Sleeping Beauty though as we were a bit tight on time.
However, we did treat ourselves to a night at the Baxter and Fugards Exits and Entrances – great stuff, it required massive concentration which is quite hard because:
(a)when I am on my hols the brain tends to shut down a little
(b) there was no interval, the two actors were doing a Marathon! It was good, momentum was achieved.
I need to read the script now and mull it all over some more 🙂
Sorry we missed you …..–>
