A Doll’s House @ Almeida Theatre…

Last Friday night with Stuart went to see A Doll’s House @ Almeida Theatre in London’s glitzy Islington.

Ibsen’s feminist play via Anya Reiss gets a sleek modern polish; bankers, mobile phones, and threesomes. 

Romola Garai burns bright in her brittle dollhouse of secrets, while director Joe Hill-Gibbons keeps the screws turning. 

Chic, chilly, quietly savage. But not quite stellar.

Southampton 2 - 1 Arsenal…

Great to see so many gaygooners before (and at) the match yesterday. But it was a bad day at the office.

Shea Charles scored an 85th-minute winner to dump the Gunners out of the competition after substitute Viktor Gyokeres had levelled following Ross Stewart's first-half opener. 

Sure, being knocked out of the FA Cup can be seen as a mixed blessing.  It gives us the opportunity to concentrate on bigger competitions - the Premiership and the Champions League. Put momentum is a big thing in football and being booted out of two domestic cup competitions in as many weeks is a blow. 

As the mighty Steps once sung, some things are better best forgotten.

Onwards and upwards, my friends.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses @ Lyttelton Theatre…

Last night Stuart & I went to see Les Liaisons Dangereuses at Lyttelton Theatre on London’s glitzy South Bank. 

Marianne Elliott directs Christopher Hampton’s take on Laclos into a long but juicy duel of love, lies, and social warfare. 

Lesley Manville prowls, Aidan Turner smoulders. Slick, wicked fun.

FIFA Tickets…

Look at the time stamps.  A long wait for tickets I think! @FIFA 

Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth, & Acrocorinth…

Earlier today Stuart and I took a rather super Race Across The World style “let’s get up & see where we can get to” day trip. 

Angus had suggested Corinth so we looked where it was on the map and off we dashed. 

Tubes, trains, quite a bit of running, and a crazy high-speed taxi drive later (blowing the budget) it turned into a fabulous day out featuring a 19th-century shipping channel, some impressive archaeological ruins, & a commanding 575-metre-high mountain fortress. 

The frighteningly deep Corinth Canal slices Greece like an overconfident cheese wire. Nero started it. The French finished it. 

Ancient Corinth serves up its columns aplenty; Apollo still has seven marble ones left his at his temple, and St Paul submitted his as a letter to the Corinthians. 

And to finish the day off we climbed a mountain. Yes, the Acrocorinth has great views but it’s a lung-busting climb. 

History, drama, and mild exhaustion. 

We deserved a beer.
