So on Monday we did take a day for some driving around the countryside, going to Loch Earn and a bit of the highlands. It was magical! Too gorgeous for any description to do it justice, but I certainly will never forget it!
Yesterday back to the Fringe for All Quiet on the Western Front and Nina . . . The Story of Me and Nina Simone. All Quiet would have been served by a different space, but you could see that it had its merits, a bit of a disappointment though since it was hard to see much of what happened . . . a spirited bunch of young performers however.
Nina was more polished, but not perfect. The actress never attempted to 'be' Nina Simone, she told her story of being influenced by Nina and went in some pretty radical directions, the music, when she finally got around to singing it, was sublime.
Today is Mies Julie, by a South African company and Don Giovanni conceived by Ivan Fischer, who Scott speaks very highly of.
More later.
What a great time!
