I think I've had a vague antipathy to the theatre after I got given the leading role in a play for a children's theatre group I was in ('A pair of Jesus-boots').
I didn't properly learn my lines. I wasn't good at acting. At the end I couldn't escape the feeling that I'd 'let everybody down'. In the next play I was given a one line role as a dancing cowboy.

It wasn't a dance so much. I had to come on stage with another cowboy and sort of performatively run round a table in a comedic manner. Then deliver my line.

I once saw the King of France's willy live on stage at the Sam Wanamaker Theatre (attached to the Globe). In All's Well That Ends Well, though the King of France's willy isn't usually specifically in the play, so maybe I was actually the victim of some weird sex cult's deranged revelry. 4 stars. Would recommend.

All this theatre nonsense! You get all these theatre people, don't you? Theatre this, theatre that. Let's have a bit of Shakespeare, let's have a bit of Lloyd-Webber. Ooh, that's a snazzy production. Oh, this looks like, I don't know, Beckett. Sometimes you just want to say, sod all this theatre, just give me a film of, Steven Seagal.

I did read this.
I would rather boil my head in my own piss than go the theatre. Best was being dragged to see Rocky horror a few years ago. Was decent & the cast all looked like they were having fun. Plus I was pissed after 10 minutes.
Worst was an amateur version of the hobbit an ex got me a ticket for Xmas. The hobbits were the same size as Gandalf which I couldn’t really fault them for. The dragon made the whole theatre burst out laughing. Gollum was some weird performance artist with a body stocking on covered in mirrors. Very strange stuff. Plus it was on at 1pm on a Tuesday so I couldn’t even get hammered. Appalling stuff. 4- stars.
Games - none

I did read this. I would rather boil my head in my own piss than go the theatre. Fair enough. I'm interested in the logistics. Would you would save enough urine for you to put your head in and then boil the piss and then stick you head in or would you put your head in your piss and then bring it to the boil? |

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. Philip Schofield in Joseph at the Edinburgh Playhouse. Time to die.

I'd pay good money to see Schofield boil his head in his own piss.
It had to be said.
