Not sure, I might go on Friday.

Did anyone go to see Hamlet Clown Prince? Just wondering what it's all about.

Did anyone go to see Hamlet Clown Prince? Just wondering what it's all about.

I went yesterday with 3 friends. The play consists of 6 clowns acting Hamlet. They speak in English, a bit in French and in some made-up language. It was okay, but I was slightly disappointed since I was expecting it to be funnier. My friends enjoyed it more than I did. At one point some people left (I saw about 7 people near me leaving), so I guess it's not to everyone's taste.

Sounds random!

Thanks for your views on this, ucakpam. I have tickets for Saturday.

Did anyone go to any of the Heinz Holliger events at King's Place? I went to the Wednesday one and thought it was good, some of it was a bit horror film esque and quite absorbing. The more traditional folky stuff wasn't for me and was a little bit on the long side, but was a bit different and glad I went - wondered what the other evenings were like.

I got tickets for the Sunday at the Roundhouse, but not sure if I'll make it in time from Oranges & Sunshine. It sounds interesting, but not overly sold.

I went to the Heinz Holliger tonight. It was called Fantasies and Journeys and had a variety of music from Schumann, Veress, Kurtag and Holliger. I found much of it to be incredibly way out of my comfort zone (especially the Holliger which sounded atonal and very odd to me). But I was glad I went and it's always good to experience something new and I like King's Place. It's very good of them to give away free tickets rather than have empty seats so bravo to them.

I really like King's Place as a venue, it's so nice and airy and the acoustics are really good.

The free Theatre and free Screenings appear to be drying up a little is this normal for this time of the year? There seemed to be so many more events available over the winter period.

I went to a concert at King's Place on Friday and Hamlet Clown Prince at Hackney Empire last night so I think we're doing pretty well in the theatre/concerts offerings at the moment. It seems that we're quite a pampered lot in London especially!
