Yea I was thinking about that with the numbers, would make it easier, unless ofcourse your okay with screaming each others usernames infront of a crowd... Yea sure i'll join you, shall be fun! What if it's raining at the meet up though? Will we just find places indoor to go to?
nightwolf Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 when I bought my rail card I was given two ticket shaped thingies edit: shadow it's called a pub :P
Twozzok Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 It's called The Chandos Sam Smiths Pub to be exact.
ShadowV7 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Well good to know there's an alternative then And I guess most of us will be legal by then anyway.
jayseven Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 when I bought my rail card I was given two ticket shaped thingies Ah, no I don't mean them :P did you fill out a form for your card? did you keep a part of it? Normally you need that - actually, thinking about it, that form's really just for replacements :P Ok! Yeah all you need to do is go to the station with your ticket-shaped things, fill out a new form and hand over the dosh. yeah.
nightwolf Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 haha she kept the card thingy thats why. We'll see either way I'll get one.
dazzybee Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 So what's the plan? Meeting in London in the summer? I'll be up for that. My new play is touring the UK in the summer/autumn, if it's on I could get every one free tickets if you fancied a night at the theatre
jayseven Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 What play is that? I might be interested :P There's a meet-up arranged for the 5th July in Hyde Park at the moment with, hopefully, more to come.
dazzybee Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 A new play I've been writing for a long time called 'Laminated'; it's been confirmed and accepted by the Arts Council and is going into production next month ready for a tour in the summer! Though July is too early for it Oh well, sounds like it will be fun though.
jayseven Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Well if you can give me a brief analysis of it, maybe draw some comparisons to other plays and I'll still probably come see it in london Do you know where you'd play?
dazzybee Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 It would take me a long time I will give you lots of info on it in a couple of months if you want. And it will undoubtedly be performing at the crucible in Sheff if that's where you live (I live an hour away from Sheff and worked with a few companies). PS Very quickly the play deals with a guy who suffers from solipsism and at the point of failure lives through his life to find the excuses/reasons for his failure changing, manipulating and losing control of his memories. It's called Laminated because it's about the things we can look at but not truly touch (it's the main visual and language motif). Similar plays? Spleandour I suppose. It's contemporary in it's style but it's heavy on language (the guys a writer) and storytelling, so quite traditional in that sense. There's also a bit of puppetry in there (there's an allegorical children's story that he never could write (his masterpiece))

There's also a bit of puppetry in there (there's an allegorical children's story that he never could write (his masterpiece)) If it's playing at the Crucible, I would certainly love to see it. I really, really need to go to the theatre more. I've only just kind of gotten to the point where I think i can say "hey, yeah I go to the theatre, so what?" having read some of Tom Stoppard's plays and realising that plays are a viable form of entertainment... For sure, PM me with more details when you have them
The Bard Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Dazzybee, have you read The Spire, by Golding? It's fantastic, it essentially deals with similar things to that play I think, Solipsism, delusion, and with a good amount of Golding-esque pessimism and symbolism. It's a difficult read at first, but totally worth it. Also, speaking of plays, Waiting for Godot is on at the Library Theater, should totally go see that. Anyone up for a meet up in Manchester?
jayseven Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 When's that? Now? Dude, I really really want to see Godot performed... I think I'd be up for it :P
Twozzok Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Any of you London folk no if the Dar Marrakesh in the Trocadero still serves Shisha despite the smoking ban? EDIT: The website seems to suggest so, but it seems kinda illegal :/
The Bard Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Well, get down to Manchester this coming Friday, see Godot, and go drinking afterwards. Could be epic. I really don't want to see it by myself
jayseven Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Well I've got a mate from brighton up from thursday 'til saturday and a mate from huddersfield on friday, so for probably the only friday in the whole calendar, I can't go Are you definitely seeing it this friday?
nightwolf Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 I can easily make it to manchester on friday but I'm hoping to go on thursday for a new piercing...
dazzybee Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks Bard, I'm on a research frenzy with the play so that's great. As for Godot, I've seen it a few times, and although it is fantastic to watch, like all Beckett's I just refer reading them!
jayseven Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 well Bard and I will be in manchester... er.. some time next week, to be decided I think?
The Bard Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 well Bard and I will be in manchester... er.. some time next week, to be decided I think? Yup, the date is TBC atm. If anyone else wants to come down and join in the fun, that would be cool .
Rummy Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 So what's happening with this meetup? We need like a first post that's edited with up to date info, cos 17 pages is alot to be trawling through. Basically, I wanna know if there is anything in or around London planned? I keep seeing references and mentions to it in other threads, so I thought I'd come and check this thread out, but it is quite long
