Dear Ellie and I went to the Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury to see the play for Lady Chatterley's Lover. I haven't read the book but I have always wanted to.
There is always something that intrigues people about books that are banned, and banned due to its explicit sexual nature? All the better!!
In the magazine I got advertising the play there was a warning:
"Please note: This production contains scenes of an explicit nature including nudity"
Hmm, nudity on stage??? got to see that!! Also, it was only 7.50 pounds, which was a good opportunity, plus I am a avid fan of the theatre. Well, I must commend on the play, it was super. The acting was really good, though I did feel that it went a little artificial at times but the guy who acted as the lover was genuine through out.
And YES, there was nudity, quite a lot more than I had expected as well. But it wasn't vulgar in any way, it was very much in keeping with the book. More to do with the idea of Making Love, then it being something mindless and menial. Their love was made to look beautiful through its passion and sensuality.
Ellie and I loved the play.Good Stuff!

Moshing...
Well, awake now... its early as usual and I have realised that it has been a considerably long time since I have made an effort on my blog, I do apologise profusely.
Just got back yesterday from Birmingham after a concert with the punk/rock band 'Funeral for a Friend'. Though not in the league of My Favourite bands the concert was really good. They had great energy when performing (though they did end very abruptly), I had a fantastic time!
I learned to mosh for the first time in my life and I actually enjoyed it.
For the illiterate ones, "moshing is a type of dance characterized by jumping around and or pushing others to loud punk, hardcore and heavy metal music." (definition picked up from wikipedia). Well, I personally wouldn't call it a dance, but everyone just starts pushing and shoving and you literally move with the entire crowd. I was scared,like a little mouse, at first. The fear arose out of the fact that I thought i might fall and be crushed.... death seemed close at hand at that particular moment in time. However the weird physics of it is that you can't actually fall. There are people in front of you, people behind you, and on either side and so on. So, when you do get shoved around people keep you up so you never really fall. I must warn people now, once moshing begins it does get quite addictive.
Confession: "I got moshed, but I doth giveth the mosh back".
