We are renting a flat

We've seen the
African Children's Choir perform before, and they were breathtaking.

But it is religious - fairly right wing Christian - so don't go if you're likely to be offended by "a message".

at the age range of your cast Beetroot! That's amazing.

Hope you have a fantastic time, and the shows go very well.

I'd kill to see Alan Cumming in The Bacchae beety
Also Breakfast with Mark Ravenhill
Hope Alice is a rip-roaring success!

Frank Skinner's one man show was recommended in the Guardian. I've never seen a bad show at The Assembly so will probably see a lot of stuff there.

this looks good Am trying to persuade dh that we should take the kids

Yes the Breakfast with MR - I am going to book that once dh has sorted out ameeting. I wonder if it is ok for a 13 and 12 year old

The Bacchae - no sure if I can do it - I am already jampacked

this might be interesting
