Dec. 30th, 2004 11:37 pmHave checked friend's list. Was extensive and confusing. Will simply talk to people at New Year's, Imissyousomuch!
Last night...saw His Dark Materials, Part I. Am in awe. Attempted to write in journal, was mostly overwhelmed by the gorgeousness of it all and the utter amazingness of watching those books come to life in front of me. The stage was incredible--moving set of brilliance, I tell you, coming from the Bathhouse (which I LOVE, you know, but it is small)...this set had a moving ring round the front, a rising half circle so that entire rooms rose and sank below the floor...the bears were amazing. The witches rock. The daemons were beautiful floaty things with glowing eyes and oh, it was so brilliant...
Maybe I am spoilt by being an actor from a young age or by Shana's use of young people &c. so well, but the only thing I had trouble with was believing that Lyra and Will were twelve. I got into it after a while, though. Hee. Ooooooooh la it was good.
Tonight is more! Cannot describe, words useless. Ask me later if you really want to know and I will do my best.
This morning we saw Raphael at the National. I like Degas better. Hee.
Love all, cannot wait to see you on New Year's...
