Culture for Christmas


Christmas is coming! In London, Christmas lights are on display once again along Oxford Street. In New York, a 70-foot spruce Christmas tree was erected outside the Rockefeller Centre last weekend. Garry and I are now scheduling meals with friends and family, as well as finalising visas for our Christmas trip to Russia.

We've also booked seats for a few cultural events. Later this month we’re off to see Donkey’s Years, a comedy by British playwright, Michael Frayn. It’s the story of six former students who celebrate a 25th-year reunion at their old university college. I've seen an earlier production from Michael Frayn called Noises Off that had me literally crying with laughter.

In early January a group of us made plans to see Matthew Bourne's controversial production of Swan Lake. His production is renowned for its casting of male dancers in place of traditional ballerinas.

Hi Andrew, it's keri. Have been following your blog, very interesting. We wanted to wish Garry a happy birthday but have lost his e-mail address as the old computer shit itself. Would you mind sending it to us please. Happy travelling and enjoy all of your adventures.

Love Keri and Chris
