Experiences ….

Sadly during one of our relocations, a chunk of the collection was lost !!!  So, to preserve what remained, I’m posting what is left of my collection online. . . . and then continued to do so!  

2022:

The Seagull: must confess — I thought the bare & ‘artisanal’ staging was simply terrible — what a shame!

Singapore calls — therefore, the Jerusalem tx was gifted to I.K….

Managed to see The Smile TWICE! On Sunday and again on Monday!!! (Sunday show with C & S.)

Straight Line Crazy: skiing with friends — therefore, gifted this to I.K.

With my bad luck of GameOfThrones start being replaced by an understudy, I cautiously booked into 2 performances (in Feb and in April)!  Thankfully, Kit starred in both.

With S.T.  ….

 

2021:

Singapore calls …. Therefore, gifted these txs to C&S.

Could not attend!  Therefore, gifted these txs to A.R.

2020:

Due to COVID-19, these shows were cancelled!

Attempt #1: friends from Oz in town so we gave the txs to our neighbours.  Attempt #2: a nasty cough meant that we gave our txs to N&W —  will there be an attempt #3 ? …
