The Blog of the Provost of St Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow
Went to see The Blue Room at the Citz last night. Its David Hare’s take on La Ronde, you know.
Not a bad night out, but the whole thing was never quite brought to the boil. Unlike the original, there never felt as though there was any risk of anyone getting arrested for it.

To the Citz theatre last night to see Venus as a Boy – one of the offerings in the Glasgay festival. It is an odd play. Once we had got over a rather laboured prolog (“… And now ladies and gentlemen, the prolog”, as Mr Howerd might have said) it soon warmed up.
It was described as a workshop piece, which means that you get to sit with your back against someone else’s knees.
I suppose that it was one of the more mystical plays about a male prostitute that I’ve seen, though it must be said, the field is a rather narrow one.
