so a couple of things - at Snape Maltings we saw the results of a week's
residency - three witches https://snapemaltings.co.uk/whats-on/open-session-witches-three/
- unsure what was added to the genre/issue of exploring how we as a society marginalise
and oppress outsiders and those deemed different that shows like Black
Mirror and the artist Rachael Maclean http://www.rachelmaclean.com/ have
already brought to the table, although the voices were superb. Maybe we need more reminders of our history
of violence towards women - so the idea of it becoming a huge community play
where the audience get to boo and cheer as women are hung (maybe the crowd
could be incentivised to do this, the more you cheer the less you pay) is something
that we would pay to watch - maybe do this in areas where people voted to leave
the EU - maybe not, the whole idea just got very dark. I can remember shouting
with glee 'crucify him' at a community mummers play in Lincolnshire in the late
80s and feeling very odd!! http://www.visit-constablecountry.co.uk/articles/matthew-hopkins-the-witch-finder-general
Caught up with and watched two seasons of Stranger things http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4574334/
some great acting and an interesting spin on the value of early game playing - you
never know when rethinking dungeons and dragons will help you out with dealing
with dark evil things. Have safely got my ticket to flight of the conchords
at the O2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDXcPgEZj6I
- it will be odd to see them there but maybe it will feel warm to be in amongst
people who love them
