I promised myself last week that I would post to this blog every Wednesday. Wednesday has arrived and, although attempting, I am experiencing a severe case of writer’s block.
So, in order to cheat, I am posting an update as to what has been happening in lurk moophy’s world and what to expect soon…
1. Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk – Belvoir St Theatre
I took the lady to see Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk at the Downstairs theatre at Belvoir St on the weekend. I’ve started my review on the play, but I’ve come across a problem. I’m still not sure what I think about the play and the production. It was an interesting piece of theatre, but something made me dislike it. Expect expanded thoughts towards the end of the week…
2. Meow to the World: Crisis is Born – The Studio @ Sydney Opera House
I also took the girl to see one of my favourite performers perform her hit broadway christmas show. This review is also in the works, but I’m attempting to make it sound less gushing than it does at the moment. Suffice it to say, the girl walked away a fan.
3. The Helpmann Awards
Wicked didn’t win Best Original Score THANK CHRIST! However, it did win Best Musical and a slew of other awards. Shall rant about this later.
4. Twitter and theatre (tweetre?)
Why is the theatrical community not using twitter at large? Is this the problem, or have I just not found them yet? I believe that twitter is a tool that could be used very effectively by theatre people to connect the theatrical community in Sydney, Australia and beyond. So do it…
Those are some thoughts that I will elaborate on at a later point…
For now I’m just stalling.
