Blue Man Group

We went to the New London Theatre last night to see the Blue Man Group. While we were having a drink at the bar, I casually asked how long the show was. The bar person said, "It's 1 hour 40 minutes - and you better get in there before it starts!" I didn't think anything of it except that she was a very diligent employee... but it soon became clear that there was more to it than that!


Go see it! Wear your white rambo headband (don't worry they give you one), don't sit on the aisle or at the back...and whatever you do, DON'T BE LATE!

The Sultan's Elephant

We spent Saturday afternoon being delighted by the Jules Verne inspired street theatre show, The Sultan's Elephant.


The Sultan’s Elephant is a spectacle you’ve only imagined... Created by theatrical magicians Royal de Luxe, it tells the story of a sultan from far-off lands and his magical, time-travelling mechanical elephant. Forty feet high and 42 tonnes in weight, this beautiful creature will capture the hearts and minds of everyone who sees it.

Royal de Luxe are an extraordinary European street theatre company, renowned on three continents but hardly known in Britain. The director Jean Luc Courcoult founded the company in 1979, and they have performed all over the world ever since.

Cannes-Cannes

Cannes, France.

Everything is different when you're on holiday. Even the trees become something exotic and deliciously foreign.
