L’Orchestre d’Hommes-Orchestres Performs Tom Waits - The Grand
And 2 plays in a single day, although this wasn't so much a play as a visual interpretation of the music of Tom Waits. Brilliant and highly imaginative.

Nevermore - at the Vertigo Theatre for OYR HPR
The boy brought me and I was annoyed, I was looking for the break from coding, a couple of hours by myself reading my book, making notes, of all the HPR productions this is the one I most wanted to see, but not with all the work that needed doing.... My mistake.
It was excellent. Pure magic - imaginative script, singing, dancing, staging. This is why you go to the Theatre!!.

And there's this house, closed for a hundred years....
It sounds like the beginning of a Tim Burton movie, or a scary Urban Legend; a French mansion sealed off for 100 years is now opened to the public....

Fleshmarket Close - Ian Rankin
It had a kind of cool cover, I thought I recognized the author - Ian Rankin - ("didn't he write...?", I said to myself, and then: "I'm sure I've heard good things....") and so I began to read it. It's good to keep a toe in on the contemporary literary scene. And the reviews on the back jacket were excellent, but it was really the title and cover that got me...
Did I say literary? Oooops.
It's a detective story. And it adheres to almost all of the stereotypes I have about detective novels. Who, really, reads this stuff? I'd give this read a 5-O Ooooops rating.
