MAKING ART
So off to London. As I was going to a show in the afternoon, « Barnum », I had chosen a hotel at Kings Cross. Not a five star but London is expensive these days. The show was on at the Wimbeldon Theatre Theatre I’m sure we have all had the same experience. Sitting next to someone, knowing the face, but who is it? It was an actor but perhaps I’ll never remember who. We chatted along quite happily. He knew his musical comedy and even if I planted a few remarks on unusual shows, he still had something to say about them. Reminded me of a trip years ago when I was traveling by plane to Hamburg for a business meeting. I knew the man’s face so well. We too chatted along very much at ease talking about everything but theatre. Upon arrival, he said that he would have to leave me as he was expecting to be picked up. Picked up indeed. It was Peter Ustinov. The show I saw was Barnun. Quite fabulons and I came back prepared for a couple of exhibitions at the Tate. . Sigmar_Polk
