Dorian gray and random sightings
first, we must kill first great western for inconvenient engineering works on way back.
Amused self by staying silent and occasionally raising eyebrows at a bloke who kept trying to talk to me when he wasn't grumbling at his mates.
Dorian Gray was fab, most of original main cast (Michela Meazza, Richard Winsor, only change being Jason Piper as the photographer. v. good, if not quite the instant chemistry that Aaron Sillis did.)
Random celebrity sightings while standing around trying to flog tickets - Zandra Rhodes (she of the pink hair, three of us went 'blimey she's short') and Eamonn Holmes (Kareem Said/Rev. Samuels/etc). Stared quite a bit, but no mistaking him. And surprisingly, not as tall as I thought. only about 6/6'2.
tickets went for student prices (£10) to three rather happy spanish students. Slightly criminal that the four in front of us were empty - general consensus was corporate booking.
