My cultural week
Tuesday: 'Tynan' performed by Corin Redgrave. A tremendous unaffected performance if you can say that about someone playing Kenneth Tynan, but it was. He obviously profoundly understood the subject and just told the story of this important man.
Thursday afternoon: 'Days Of Wine And Roses' - my lucky week. I was very moved by this piece. Again expertly acted by Anne-marie Duff and Peter McDonald who clearly told the story. The great combination of Peter Gill and Alison Chitty led us straight through and drew us on with no distraction until it was done.
Friday: 'A Raisin In The Sun' - fantastic cast in an old-fashioned play.
Also this week 'Caravaggio' at the National Gallery along with a million other dissatisfied souls. See a great master and get an elbow in the ribs.

Hooray! Welcome. Like the photo...
Is the Caravaggio impossibly busy or should I give it a whirl?
It is difficult to dwell on any picture and the darkness of them and the rooms make the experience a little claustrophobic. Difficult to light these big canvases. However unless you have the budget to visit them in their homes when are you going to see them? Food for thought if not the soul.
