Birthday!
06/03/26 12:32
As a birthday treat to myself I booked a visit to the recent reopened Citizens Theatre in Glasgow to see a modern take on THE BACCHAE in the Studio. I caught the train in as I was going to have a drink and wanted to check out the route. The journey in was uneventful and I crossed over the under construction George Square to catch the bus, only to be age-checked by the driver as I was using my bus pass!
The bar of the theatre was filled to capacity with the movers and shakers of the theatrical luvvie world, just as it was 40 years ago. The show itself was a one man performance and was very good, despite having about a quarter of the monologue in Ancient Greek. Of course I complained to Manos later the next week!
What a great way to start the Birthday month and I have another tragedy at the end when I go to see my 17th performance of MEDEA…
