St Magnus Festival: March 2010
http://stmagnusfestival.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
An unofficial blog aiming to capture the feel of Orkney's St Magnus Festival. Friday, 19 March 2010. As more than one person said last night at the 2010 Festival brochure launch at the St Magnus Centre, Kirkwall: "It cannot be a year since we last did this! It's time for all of us to start working out which tickets to order (and to promise ourselves, once again, that we will be early-bird patrons. Presenting the best of Polish arts and culture in the UK) to a conclusion during SMF 2010. Residency through...

Edinburgh Arts: Flanders and Swann

They even get away with the Song of patriotic prejudice. And its (however ironic) suggestion that the English are best which, in any other hands, would be best left well alone. Such temerity alone deserves recognition. At the drop of a hippopotamus is on at 2:30pm at the Cabaret Bar of the Pleasance Courtyard (The Pleasance) until Monday 28th August (except Tuesday 22nd).

Teetering dangerously on the verge of bad acting, Distraction Theatre Company just about pulls this off. The two colourful Tales. Presented here - those related by the miller and the wife of Bath - have tremendous potential for a rip-roaring adaptation, so it's really a pity the production is merely enjoyably silly.

Edinburgh Arts: Emily Beynon/Andrew West recital
http://edinburgh-arts.blogspot.com/2006/08/emily-beynonandrew-west-recital.html
Emily Beynon/Andrew West recital. Unfortunately - given the comparative rarity of flute recitals - this was something of a mixed bag. Even Borne's Carmen fantasy. A crowd-pleaser if there ever was one, failed to erase memories of disappointing Prokofiev, where excessive vibrato (particularly in the lower register) belied the neo-classicism of the music. Performers Emily Beynon (flute) and Andrew West (piano). Date 15 August 2006. Emily Beynon was playing, as we heard later, on a borrowed flute, and from ...

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead. The fusion of modern English to text from Hamlet. Is a difficult one to pull off on stage, but Chimeric Productions' staging of Stoppard's retelling of Shakespeare's tragedy pulled it off very well. It added to the title characters' sense of isolation, as did (from the audience's perspective) the pitfalls of catching a show early in a month-long run. It's a very fast-witted, humourous play- and all credit to the lead parts for remembering the lines! I'm not one for ...

Edinburgh Arts: Bach's
http://edinburgh-arts.blogspot.com/2006/08/bachs-mass-in-b-minor.html
Bach's Mass in B minor. A regular feature of the Fringe programme, Ludus Baroque's performance of this Bach masterpiece was by and large convincing - the orchestra providing fabulous support, even if the trumpets were sometimes allowed to dominate the sound - but, as ever with concerts in the Canongate Kirk, suffered from the acoustic. The homophonic choruses and small scale arias were spared, unlike those numbers in which the counterpoint got lost somewhere in the ether. Only in the Sanctus. Good night,...

Little more than a romp, Casanova. Is carried along by the enthusiasm of its cast. Costumes and scenary are gorgeous to look at, but unfortunately the whole thing is let down by a plot which is far too complicated for its own good, with a vast number of characters vying for the audience's attention. Thankfully the actors' high spirits are infectious, otherwise this film would really fall flat. Comments: Post a Comment. Edinburgh Festival season 2006:. Bach's Mass in B minor.

The real Inspector Hound. Previews of Fringe shows can leave one feeling a bit short-changed, and while there were a couple of bits still needing a bit of polish, the Old Gaol Theatre Company. S production of The real Inspector Hound. Never ceases to entertain. Stoppard's simultaneous attack on critics and the conventions of the theatrical whodunnit can suffer from a lack of balance, but neither target dominated over the other, making their eventual collision all the more satisfying. The bald prima donna.

This is enormous fun if you're prepared to treat it as a dark comedy. The main idea alone - that civil unrest in the French capital could lead the walling-in of problem districts - has gained relevance since the film was made (in 2004), yet even the addition of corruption to the (admittedly slim) plot fails to get in the way of a tremendous film. To its name, Banlieue 13. Comes across as a genuinely thrilling experience. Leave your brain behind and enjoy. Comments: Post a Comment. Bach's Mass in B minor.
