    Ha! Great minds think alike, I went to the theater on Tuesday for the first time since God was a boy to see:

    RAODS presents Man of the Moment

    by Alan Ayckbourn

    Vic Parks is the man of the moment; a celebrity criminal who having spent nine years in jail for a botched bank robbery, has written his autobiography and is now a bona fide television celebrity. Now living in a villa, complete with swimming pool, in Spain, he has agreed to appear on the TV show “Their Paths Crossed”. The host Jill Rillington intends to bring together, 17 years on, Vic with Douglas Beechey – the unassuming clerk who foiled the robbery and recieved his fifteen minutes of fame. Expecting jealousy, envy and bitterness from Douglas, Jill instead finds a profoundly accepting man who has no regrets about his life and is actually a fan of Vic’s TV show. His only wish being that his moment of fame had lasted a little longer. Ayckbourn’s dark but hilarious observations will have you rolling in the aisles from start to finish.

    I have to say I would much rather have seen an all woman version of Hamlet, it sounds an interesting twist and Will's stuff lends its' self well to interesting twists.

    All the best OJ,

    J.

    Amanda:
    Sometimes the ballads just ease the pain. Amazing what a song can do. Ole Johnny lived a hard life but he could get to the core of your soul with simple worlds.
