Civic theatre
November 11, 2011
Went out last night to the Civic theatre. It is a fabulous place with a starry “sky” ceiling and crazy arabesque decor. I hadn’t been there for over 30 years and have vivid memories of seeing movies there as a child. There is more information here. Anyway, we went to see Eddie Izzard, who was as surreal and amusing as ever.
Walking home we encountered the Art in the Dark festival in Western Park. It was a wonderful event with lots of amazing illuminated installations. The place was crowded with tipsy and stoned young people and everyone was having a good time. Watched a “performance” involving a woman in bridal gown and a man with angel wings and a morning suit flying around hanging from wires. Some pictures are here.
