Speed Death
Another person’s work who I will be positively bias about is Chris Goode, who also writes a wiser and more insightful blog than mine.
Goode has a new piece going on at the Plymouth Drum. See here. It’s called Speed Death of the Radiant Child.
I really want to see it but like the May Queen I can’t make the logistics work, between rehearsals for Nakamitsu, day job and life.
Kiss of Life was one of the most uplifting plays I’ve seen dealing with amongst other matters, the interconnectedness of being. It was brilliant.
I feel all the poorer as I remember what Gideon Lester once told me and I’ve tried to take to heart and I paraphrase:
“Theatre is a live art, so if you hear about a performance that you truly want to see and it is across the otherside of the world, then you must fly over to see it because the performance will not last forever but it may live on in your mind for the rest of your life”

Update: I’ve managed to squeeze in a booking. It’s about 3 to 3.5 hours on the train from London. But luckily I like train journeys.
