(Siblings Tom and Heather are cleaners at a prestigious hotel. On the surface they are a normal team, but beneath the facade they have created a world of fantasy, where the clothes of hotel residents are used to recreate their bizarre desires)
~Daniel Kitson: Stories for the Starlit Sky (Sneak through late night London; all around, people letting themselves down or heading home, done with the day, thinking of bed and of breakfast, oblivious to you, to us, hiding in a park at midnight, hurling tales of love and hope and courage at the sky. Voices soaring from between trees to paint tears on the face of the moon; words, like fire in the night, laughter exploding through the dark. The day not done, not yet, the air thick with magic on the cusp of tomorrow.)


Please go at it. ^_^

  1. This is me oozing with jealousy. K- Waiting for Godot is supposed to be very good, it is showing here too but I can't afford it. With Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan (both amazing stage actors) I imagine it would be amazing.
    I always vote for Rachel Weisz.
    Ibsen is my favorite playwright- BUT, you have already seen Ghosts, in Stratford, remember? So go see A Doll's House. I love that play.
    I also love Les Mis. And Billy Elliot is supposed to be fantastic- I'm seeing it here in a couple of weeks. It originated in London so I'm sure that it is quite good.
    And then see everything else as well :)
    There will be so many glorious theatre notes to compare at the end of this summer.
    Also, I love that Penn's class is the same as ever :).
