fancy a tasty meat pie?

"There's a hole in the world
Like a great black pit
and the vermin of the world inhabit it
And its morals aren't worth
what a pig could spit
And it goes by the name of London."

the verse is from the opening of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd.
maybe it was true in the 18th century...
...maybe its still true now.

Last night I thought it would be a good idea to see the new film version of Sweeney Todd.
It has had some good review... and is rather well put together, even if the the blood does flow a little too freely (Mum you will not enjoy it!). Decided to have Chinese for dinner after... although for some reason I had an appetite for a pie...

The last couple of weeks have been a bit of a theatre-fest. A friend visiting London is always a good excuse to get out and do some of the things I have been putting off and while Nadia was in town we took the opportunity to see Avenue Q and The History Boys.

It good to finally be taking advantage of my proximity to the West End and the cheap tickets on sale at Leicester Square... roll on the next show!
