If you've no plans during the hours of 10pm-6am tonight and live in London, maybe do this? There have to be single digit tickets left though and it's spenny, but completely worth it. Say I sent you. (They won't know what you're talking about).

It's a weird one to watch, though. Like, if I sleep, there's FOMO. I don't think I believe you can learn Spanish by sleeping through language tapes, so same, right? But if you stay awake, you're not doing the title of the work. It's for sleeping through. So FOMO sandwich?

They put it on up at Ali Pali, and did a great job. Comfortable beds, clever lighting, suitable amplification and absolutely brilliant performances including Max himself. They had to turn nocturnal in preparation apparently. And the bedsheets are all going to Shelter afterwards. Cleaned, I hope.

It's been played live a couple of dozen times ever, due to its peculiar requirements. You're supposed to sleep through it. So you need beds, and a safe space where you won't get robbed, and probably lots of sides people to watch for hanky panky during the difficult 3am-5am phase.

Ok so ten years ago composer Max Richter wrote this barmy piece with his creative partner Yulia Mahr which lasts a night of sleep and is meant to follow your sleep cycles. The intention is that you stick it on at bedtime and racking him up plenty of Spotify plays during the night.

Last night, I went to sleep. Wait, let me rephrase that. Last night, I went to Sleep. Specifically, an eight-hour, overnight performance of Sleep by Max Richter. One of the strangest and best bits of performance I've ever seen. A thread?

Koreans aren't supernaturally intelligent, nor are Brits stupid. But South Korean TV expects more of its viewers and can consequently achieve a lot more. The results are amazing. We, on the other hand, are spoonfed and viewers of The Genius are upset at having to meet the show halfway
