Ah, the joys of leisure

Social networking produces two bonuses this week: Facebook comes up with a free ticket to Midsummer at the Tricycle Kilburn, and twitter tips off about a National Theatre cancellation which gives a cheap ticket to Hamlet. Not bad for someone who can go months on end without going near a theatre or even thinking about it.
Midsummer, apparently an old hit from the Edinburgh Festival last year, is a great comedy, musical with songs its writer and producer calls it. A great laugh, and touching. Hamlet has a very good Rory Kinnear and is a fabulous pruduction by, better get his name right, Nicholas Hytner.
