Woo Hoo!

murasaki_1966 just rang to say she's booked the tickets to see Ian McKellen's King Lear in Melbourne.

(this almost makes up for missing the chance to meet him at a Short and Sweet workshop two years ago.)

Yup - William Gaunt's doing the Seagull matinees (for sci-fi nerd people, he was one of the Champions in 1960s and played Orcini in the Doctor Who story "Revelation of the Daleks").

Thanks Grant, I knew I knew William Gaunt's name from somewhere (The Champions) - of course, I could have confused him with William of Gaunt.

Do you want us to pick you up a programme?

Thanks, but by ridiculous stupidity I can pick one up myself - Sonia and I are flying across an entire continent just to see the show (purchased tickets this morning).

What's sadder is that we're not going for Ian McKellen - we're going to see Sylvester McCoy as Lear's Fool! : )

Sylveter McCoy's the Fool? Don't tell Kate. We better try and get her a Lear program.
