The Jermyn Street Theatre has another winner: Woman Before A Glass.
It is a bio-play about Peggy Guggenheim delivered in a ninety minute monologue by American actress Judy Rosenblatt. Monologue doesn’t mean monotonous. Judy uses different parts of the stage with different lighting as she depicts episodes in Peggy’s life in the 1960s. Crucially the pace changes and she shifts from light to dark at the flick of a switch. Sometimes the audience are taken into her confidence. She invited us to help ourselves to a cocktail while she took a telephone call and as I was in the front row this was feasible. Incidentally the glass in the title could refer to the imaginary mirror on her dressing table or the tumbler of Dry Martini that’s always to hand.
I am glad to have re-connected with Jermyn Street Theatre after a long gap.
Now, MP Evans, how is your palm oil growing?
Further significant increases in production are anticipated in the next three years as new planting continues and yields improve as the palm oil plants mature. The share price will be sensitive to the palm oil price otherwise everything in the MPE garden is coming up roses.
If you live in Cape Town you will not be taking a shower very often and will be envious of the abundance of water in the UK. Nevertheless there was not as powerful a supply of water on Wednesday as usual. I diagnosed that the shower jets had been partially blocked by limescale. Procrastination is a princely virtue and I was rewarded when I learnt the water main was being repaired. Normal service has resumed and no de-scaling was attempted.
As a result of your post, I went to to see Woman Before a Glass last night, and extremely good it was. Thank you. However, the drinks table was no longer adjacent to the seating, and there was no offer to help oneself. ‘Some coincidence surely”
I rather wondered what was in the bottles too.
