Organised by London European Club, taking place in Sands Film Studios. An evening of flamenco - one of my favourite things, in one of my favourite places. I booked immediately, through Eventbrite.
Sadly, it was not to be - I was delayed leaving Guildford. Jeez, that makes four days in a row that I haven't seen a show! Still, it gives me a chance to job-hunt.. as you might have guessed, I'm not best enamoured of Guildford, and having to go there most of the week is trying, to say the least. So, all I need now is an exit strategy - watch this space.
Meantime, let's see whether I can do better from now on, eh? Tomorrow, back with one of my favourite groups, another of my favourite venues - the Man with the Hat hits the Globe for probably the last time this year, with Let's Do London - for less! for The Merchant of Venice. Unfortunately, I have to go to Guildford. Happily, the boss isn't coming, so the odds are better of me getting away on time!
Back to Ireland for the weekend.. then comes next week. Monday, I'm back with Let's Do London - for less! again, at yet another of my favourite venues (this is becoming a habit!). We're going to Southwark Playhouse, to see a production of Confessional by Tennessee Williams. Methinks we'll be sat in the middle of the production - TBC.
On Tuesday, Henning from the London European Club is hosting another of those early-evening talks, this time on Astronomy: Brave New Worlds - the Planets Around Other Stars, at the Royal Astronomical Society. So I booked. Somehow, however, I completely missed the fact that London Dramatic Arts is headed to The Mountaintop that night, at The Young Vic. So now I've booked that instead - they only had two spots left!
On Wednesday, Henning is at it again! There's a book launch for Understanding Eritrea: Inside Africa's Most Repressive State, at Housman's bookshop. Entry is £3 apparently, redeemable against a purchase in the bookshop. I'll see whether I can actually make it, Guildford permitting. Or maybe I'll go to a film.. film list permitting.
On Thursday, the Man With the Hat is taking both his groups to a concert at the church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. London Concertante are playing Mozart, Bach, and Albinoni. Good stuff, it seems like an age since we've been there!
On Friday, he's taking Let's Do London - for less! to the Royal Opera House - first outing of the season is to Cosi Fan Tutte. Choice of amphitheatre or slips - I, being cheap, am in the slips. Natch.
Finally, that Saturday is as yet undecided - but it wasn't! See, LDAM were off to The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism With a Key to the Scriptures. As was I - independently. Now, this is showing at Hampstead Theatre - where I previously had to sneak out the back door to avoid them, under similar circumstances! Well, I won't be doing it on this occasion - but wouldn't you know it, they've booked for another performance next month. And again, I got a cheaper ticket - and so the dramatic sneaking around is scheduled again..
