oh all right, I admit it...

...after work I snuck off and went to see Frankenstein for the third time (version 1).

I have to say, I love the National Theatre ntlive screenings, but I wish they weren't all crammed together at the end of the year... at this rate nobody is getting Christmas presents because I'm spending all my weekends sitting raptly in darkened cinemas! Am passing on next weekend (Rory Kinnear in Hamlet: sorry Rory, but you and Adrian Lester were *brilliant* in Othello) just so I can get some errands done.

Next outing: Richard II- watching David Tennant rock hair extensions in the RSC's first global broadcast- and the National Theatre's 50th.

This is where I shake my fist at the sky and ask God why He couldn't have arranged for me to be born in the UK. Poorly done, God, poorly done indeed! :-(
