This afternoon, the great storyteller Nick Hennessy had another livestream! Couldn't miss that. In fact, just in case we were thinking of forgetting it, he was practicing his livestream yesterday, as I was trying to watch my film.. and he started 20 minutes early today, just with a soundcheck. No video - as he says, he prefers to go with just sound and imagination - and indeed, he's so right. Mind you, there were still audio issues - some of which were solved by people switching to Chrome.
Ah, how lovely was that! Sweet singing, with some spoken word, and the gentle plucking of the harp strings. For an hour or so on a bleak midwinter afternoon, this was just perfect - as storytelling always is, on a Sunday afternoon! Soothing and haunting tales, some supernatural, all entrancing. Songs and poetry whiled away an hour - which flew much too fast. I believe he's going to make it available afterwards - strongly recommended.
For tomorrow, an old friend has bought me a ticket to watch the livestream of A Christmas Carol from the Old Vic! He and the family will be watching simultaneously. Aww, how thoughtful..
