Mmmmm now you’re giving me ideas!
Oooh, I have that on CD and haven’t listened to it for ages. Love that chopping sound!
I was told that some kind of scaffold had been rigged up offstage complete with block and tackle to provide the definitive thud as nun by nun, they fell to the floor.
The stage was littered with dead nuns by the end.
It is a real shocker at the end. Liked Poulenc’s music, and the singing was good (Monday performance).
Attended the performance on Thursday. Particularly liked the voices of Mere Marie(Elysia Leech) and the Father Confessor(L’Aumonier), James Geer.

In this one we focus on what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like. We talk about why hidden relationships are common in church communities and how that puts people at…
The attendance statistics for Cathedrals in England have been published in the last 24 hours. As has been the case in recent years these are quite perky. Many cathedrals in England are busy, full of people and seven day a week operations. The immediate response of the wider church to this though is complex. Indeed,…
