in london
the theatrical succession
years rolled away
ham actors chewing up the stage
in their anodyne atheistic little play
stand now as one
with those who hammed
in shakespeare's day
and there's something very old and very fine and very grand
in this damp tacky theatre off clubland

Grazie per il bellissimo (magnifico) regalo...ma dove sei?? Domani รจ il tuo compleanno!! Rispondi alle mie mail o..mi preoccupo. Un bacio, Biankles :-*
Wow, cool ! Happy Birthday James, another Capricorn, I should have known.
My greatest ever London theatre experiences were Anthony Sher as Richard the third, and several Sam Beckett plays, I think he was an atheist extraordinaire, but Billy Whitelaw was certainly no ham. He was also a wordsmith extraordinaire.
But that's not what you were writing about I know, and I love the contrast that you summarise here.
Er...not that I'm a Capricorn, but it's a sign I admire.
We have an old theater in our town (which has an very insignificant history compared to London). It has been restored and is still used for all sorts of performances. I always enjoy visiting it. There's a feeling of vaudeville to it.
P.S. Happy birthday!
Bia, la mia!
Schnee, another year older and another year sneakier. (And somewhere the ghost of Garfield is smiling!)
Gen, we see the same ghosts in the theatres. My birthday is certainly a happy one right this moment.

Birthday!
I didn't know?
And now my happiness is not happiness anymore.
Charmingki, just be happy I don't bother you with every boring detail!
Most of the boring details but not all of them!!
