10. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Ambassadors Theatre, London, in a box for my mum's birthday. Which earned me some brownie points, at least

What it's replaced...
The same bridge over the Cam, painted gray with a grafittied Palestinian flag, and the words 'FREE PALESTINE' painted on it
Enjoyed the new artwork on the Chisholm Trail bridge this morning

Interrupting a fortnight's holiday for 9, The Pirate Queen, at the Minack Theatre, at the very edge of Cornwall. The ADC has some way to go to match this view...

8. The Frogs, @swkplay.bsky.social.
If not the best of the year so far, certainly the best Sondheim show I've seen in some time

Research data management at its finest outside a building in Cambridge!

#RDM #research #librarians
A filing cabinet outside a building. The drawers say: 'Aladdin's Cave (no idea what this stuff is', 'old data, disks, notebooks', 'probably belongs to someone' and 'old equipment that might be useful'.
7. Jesus Christ Superstar, Cambridge ADC. A lot of Andrew Lloyd Webber Andrew Lloyd Webbering

Because after four hours at the beer festival, why wouldn't you go see an impromptu musical about writing a musical?

5. More Sondheim, Here We Are at the National Theatre.
Definitely benefits from knowing nothing about it on the way in...

4. Tonight, back at the ADC for Amélie. Performances were great, but it turns out it definitely helps to have seen the film first to have any idea what's going on...

3. (I've messed this thread up already, but last Friday should have had something about Everybody's Talking About Jamie, at the ADC, Cambridge, which I've seen before, but is always good fun)
Today in 'Adam belatedly catches up with things everyone else knew years ago', Dear England is really good
