On This Day: 6th April

Having got the date wrong for the first post in this series, I shall endeavour to double-check every post from now on!

Now, for the 6th of April (honest!) On This Day.

In 2003

A very fortuitous visit to see a friend in London on the last weekend that The Laramie Project was at the Cochrane theatre.
As far as I can recall this was the first time I'd seen a 'verbatim' theatre production and it was such an incredible piece. The story itself, of how a small middle American town deals with the aftermath of an horrific murder and their own beliefs and prejudices regarding identity and sexuality was emotional enough but then knowing that the "voices" we were hearing were actually those of the real people involved added a whole other level of connection.

The production itself, like most verbatim pieces, was quite sparse but there were some moments, of both an individual's own story and of the visual impact of scenes such as the white Angel Action, that have stayed with me ever since.

It just so happens that one of the relatively few shows I have been able to see this year was a production of The Laramie Project by the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. The power of piece is undiminished and still, sadly, hugely relevant.

The New Blog

Hi, while my YouTube channel is still quite small (less than 1,000 subscribers, etc.) I can't use the built-in YouTube features to actively engage with you, the lovely folk who watch, comment, and subscribe to my channel. As I am already sort of familiar with Blogger I though I would open up a new space here specifically linked to the YouTube channel but one that allows me to share stuff other than my game videos and can also be somewhere for all of us to exchange thoughts and ideas about the channel or anything else that pops into our minds. So ... if you're not into using Twitter or Instagram to communicate, or find them too limiting, or are strange enough to want to read more of my long-winded thoughts and observations then ... WELCOME! Now, if you're new to my channel or maybe just curious about who the heck I am please check out the links in the title bar which might give you some insight ... or might not. ;) You can use the Subscribe option in the title bar
