Vapnartak

I went to Vapnartak and will at some point review it. But not now. Instead I'm briefly going to mention 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' which I saw yesterday in the studio at Harrogate Theatre. It was basically Marx's Theory of Surplus Value set to music and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

 The Harrogate run is sold out, but the production is coming to the Carriageworks in Millenium Square. The set is designed by Fine Time Fontayne, who I think I last saw on stage in the Lenny Henry Othello. (As an aside, regular readers of the blog will be keen to find out that Northern Broadsides pronounce Desdemona with the stress on the penultimate syllable.) Anyway, this tour, which is sponsored by a number of trades unions is highly recommended.
