This is the Sea (again)

So the Midland Aquaphiliacs has made its appearance at BAC again. The shows were billed as world premiere which was pretty funny.

It's even been reviewed already - kind of harsh but they call it a play so i'm not sure they get the right end of the stick anyway. Check it out here, see what you think

It's nice that they came really.

I was pretty happy with the show. There's so much stuff that doesn't leave you with anything to hold on to about the world and your place in it, I'm happy to sacrifice a few theatre tricks, tied up loose ends, whatever, for something that i believe has a humanity and spirit that is worth sharing.

Meanwhile Arsenal were busy losing to Barca on wednesday. Was gutted to miss it but pretty glad when the outcome must have been such excruciating viewing. At least Thierry Henry is staying with the gooners - i'm not sure it was ever in that much doubt.

I'm back on the island now - it's fantastic, wild seas, spring bursting out everywhere, taking the opportunity to get out there before a hectic month for Stan. The rice as it's known in stanland visits Milan, Newcastle for the world culture conference, and Cork at the Triskell Arts Centre.

All that and a very fine month of World Cup football in store is quite i nice prospect.

Don't forget Intimate Histiory visits Lichfield Festival July 8/9. Website is here - http://www.lichfieldfestival.org


Thanks again to anyone who came along to the show at BAC. Any comments very welcome - your pictures will be along soon.
