.. to a full house with another tonight and tomorrow. Book early or miss out! Would you believe it though - despite the usual warnings, there were a couple of meatheads in the third row who played games on their mobile phones all through the second act?! They must have spent interval at Clancy's, because right in the middle of the most poignant scene, one of them decided he had to go to the toilet, slamming the front door loudly as he did so. Why do people like this bother coming out to live theatre? Is it because their culture-loving girlfriends drag them along? If they were there to support friend in the cast, they certainly did them no favour by their presence.

Just to clarify a few

Just to clarify a few things, yes there were NINE students at Monday night's showing of Wuthering Heights, all there to see some well produced community theatre. Our boys were all extremely well behaved and appreciated the play for what it was. At the interval, our students occupied themselves discussing the characters' relationships and the merits of the actors' performances. Instead of stuffing their pockets with cheap biscuits, my boys preferred to eat their mum's home made soup from a themos. The three youths you refer to were not part of our group, but were, from what I can gather, friends of one of the young stars of the show. I also found them highly annoying and disrespectful to what was essentially a fantastic and educational (for my boys) show.
