Suffering somewhat from Fasting , i settled down on a bench near the Registrar of Scotland Building.
Reading Mona Lisa by Donald Sassoon i could hear the dulcet tones of Colin Fox trying to ferment revolution , next to him was a stall-installation of the Falun Dafa being glared at by Chinese tourists , with sniggering Japanese looking from afar and Koreans trying to mix it whilst pretending to be preserving the peace.All the while we had a bag-piper stressing everyone out with searing whining ear piercing atonal drones.
Simon Callow is the Maradona of actors , so it came as no surprise he is going to play a 24 year old girl in drag.The play he is starring in is based on a Parisian hit called Le Mardi a Monoprix.
Simon takes up the story in the video below:
Critics have queued up to miss the point , looking at the first glance visuals and not , as a good audience looks for the substance.The play is about acceptance and the pain when it is not offered by one when the other tries everything possible to fuse a severed bond.
On that front the play is a roaring success.
