my daughter and her mate had tickets for today .. they left this morning, all glam on the top half - shorts and posh wellies on the bottom half!! Mind you, they needed the wellies for the downpour we had!!!

I went yesterday, it was a really good day and the weather was ok for most of the day.
For me the best performances were Kasabian, Ed Sheeran, and Emeli Sande. Nicki Minaj was entertaining but she wasn't singing live - blatently performing over a pre-recorded track.

Went off to see 'Democracy' last night. Here's my review:

If you're going to see it, stick with it - it's pretty hard to get into, but ultimately worth the effort.

My almost-15 Son is going next week with School. I'm not sure the kids will like it!! But before they watch the evening performance, they're doing a workshop within the Theatre, which I know they'll all enjoy.

Hah, this would definitely not be at the top of my list for a 15 year old to see. Let us know what he thinks of it!

What an excellent review!! I was also there last night and I did stay for the second half and I am glad that I did. Would I recommend this play to my friends? Probably not.

I have to agree with 5rannoch. The play didn't captivate me that much. For me the most interesting was to learn more about Willy Brandt's life...
