Antigone (Sophocles) @ Royal Exchange, Manchester



Now that was one powerful play - might have been written 2,500 years ago but so relevant to 21st Century society/living/attitudes ... greed, arrogance, "power corrupts" and all that kerfuffle. There was some totally pointless "dancey bits" (why ? why ? it was a short play but short does not necessarily mean "not good" - just unnecessary padding ...) Some good performances as well - for Creon read George Bush/Tony Blair....apres play some drinkies in the bar followed by a late 192 down to friends in Longsight - more drinkies till about daft o'clock. Home to this - off to Stalybridge very soon to check out the Buffet Bar Conservatory construction progress, before Stalybridge Celtic v Tamworth (they're top y'know) - home - then back to Manc to meet our Michelle ... and Airbourne - the "credit crunch AC/DC" - and I mean that in the nicest possible way !!!


Whilst on the music slant I got an e-mail today (thanks to Sophsky !) - PowerQuest WILL be playing Manchester - 8th December @ Satan's Hollow £7 adv or £8 on the door ... also .. 143 hits on this site yesterday following the Todd posting (some kind of record for me that)
but now ...to football ...
