On This Day: 22nd May

Two films appeared on stage on this day Before The Lockdown:

in 2015

I don't think I'd even heard about the film so when seeing the Rocky Horror Show 'equal' Shock Treatment on the King's Head Theatre stage in London I had no preconceptions.
Like RHS, Brad and Janet are key to the story but this time faced with a bizarrely nightmarish reality TV show rather than transexual Transylvanians!
It's similarly sprinkled with catchy songs and comically outrageous characters but didn't quite have the magic that made Rocky Horror such an iconic work.
The design, in this cosy pub theatre, was fun and the cast were wonderfully engaging and enthusiastic so you would have to be very hard-hearted not to enjoy yourself. At the end of the day, though, it is just "that other Richard O'Brien play".



in 2019

I've not read the much lauded novel, and it's so long since I last saw the film that, once again, I had little pre-knowledge to apply to The Remains of the Day at the Bristol Old Vic.
The set design was certainly impressive but overall the presentation was rather unusual for the BOV where I have become accustomed to more abstracted and performance oriented productions. So, even as the play is set in the 1930s and 50s, it felt, itself, rather old-fashioned.
However, that said, and although it didn't feel like anything new or particularly exciting, a fine cast led by Stephen Boxer and Niamh Cusack did bring home the overwhelming sense of loss of opportunities for love that they let slip as they, instead, observed the expected protocols of the age.

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...
