Spavined Gaits and Ancient Asylum Seekers.
1.
A superb reading from Molloy by The Godot Company, who are bravely adapting the novel for the stage.
2.
The Steam Industry's powerful production of Euripides' Children of Hercules complete with ingeniously interwoven musical accompaniment, and a haunting reconstruction of mystery rites, reminiscent of The Wicker Man and John Fowles' The Magus. Politically pertinent, and in a production faithful and direct enough to provoke culturally humbling reflections, as Greek tragedy ought (especially in contrast to exemplary elements of the Friday night audience who spend the whole performance staring moronically at mobile phone screens, guffawing like lobotomised swine, and swigging Stella -" better go on a weekday). This would be highly-recommended if it were on in a theatre, but free, and in the open air in this incredible location....wonderful
nb. There is a spider who lives in a small web at the centre of the revolving doors of City Hall.

Hi,
These are lovely photos. I am actually in this production and I just wondered if you had any more like this?
Regards,

what an honour, a comment from the moon priestess!
I have some more, and some that are not developed yet - we went to see it again (and Treasure Island too). Will email you.
ps. well done for coping with that audience!
