  1. The twist was the race reversal, All of the parts played by white actors in the film were played by actors of colour on the stage, and the parts played by actors of colour in the film were played by white actors on the stage. For me, this twist enhanced the story and made it more relevant and enjoyable. Every actor on that stage tonight earned and deserves respect for their outstanding performances. Simply, they were brilliant.
  2. You're probably right, I do have some really wonderful friends and they mean the world to me. I would do anything for any of them. Thank you for helping to clear my head.
  3. Yes, it is. This stage production had a twist to it as they did a complete race reversal in the roles which I think was great. The actors were first-rate and gave it their all, you could see that they were enjoying themselves performing the play. The lad that played Jamie was particularly good and, for me, stole the show. None of them are big-name actors, but I wish them all success in this play and with their futures, they all deserve it.
  4. I've been sitting here after a night at the theatre, going through many notifications with tears in my eyes. It doesn't make sense to me. My friends have been very supportive over the last month after particularly nasty events left me totally distraught. What happened left me badly shaken and ruined my Birthday earlier this month. But my friends were patient. They got together and insisted they take me out tonight. I was taken out to the theatre to a stage adaptation of the film A Beautiful Thing. They know it is one of my favourite films. It was a great night out, and the play was brilliant. I really enjoyed it. I feel good, but why do I also feel tearful? I don't want to spoil the memory of tonight, it was special. So why do I feel like this?
  5. If you sign out and then sign back in it might let you post your pics, it sometimes works for me
  6. I don't know why that would happen, hopefully it will sort itself out.
  7. He attended before Drew influenced and corrupted the administration.
  8. I'd have to argue the facts here, if you're sane then there are two of us. I'm perfectly sane, I even have a letter from my therapist to prove it. lol
  9. If it's freshly ground, I'll have a coffee, thank you
  10. Nah, I think Max should wear one of these
  11. Hi Terry, all's good here thanks, I've just had my seasonal flu and jabs and I'm feeling better each day. I hope you and Aod have a good weekend
  12. Hi B, I hope the weather is treating you well
  13. Aloha Albert, I hope you enjoyed your Birthday night out with Steve
  14. It could be worse, it could be Spew, which could be more fitting lol and it is sometimes a bit sickly 🤮
  15. I'll be looking out for this one
  16. By keeping and using it you honour your Mother and that is a beautiful thing to do.
  17. Gary, I love the story and I appreciate you sharing some of your precious memories of your many years with Sky. It makes me feel nostalgic for the times when my family had horses. I wish I could sit around a campfire with you and talk about each other's memories over a cup of campfire coffee, I know I would enjoy chatting with you. Take care my friend
  18. One thing I've come to realise is that the Drewth is never far away.
  19. Of course we are, but those of us who are Libran are the best 😇
  20. For the time of year, it's quite mild which is surprising. Some parts of the UK have had some severe flooding but luckily central Manchester doesn't suffer from that. I feel sorry for those who have had to leave their homes as a result. At least it hasn't been as bad as it has been in some parts of the world.
  21. The weather is wet windy and miserable, and I have to go out in it. But it's not as bad as it sounds as that's when I often get inspirational ideas for writing, so I turn that negative into a positive. I've finished writing another chapter that needs a final edit, and I'm halfway through writing another chapter. Fingers crossed it's all going well 🤞. I hope you and Aod are enjoying better weather
  22. Prescott has been watching them for at least a couple of days and checking out the farm, his own words tell us that. “Yep, it’s me what got you boys trapped like rats in a half-filled trough, and I’m here to settle a few scores, make no mistake. That one you shaved earlier still alive? The dumb farmer who thinks he be smarter than me?” He chortled after, and it set Jubal’s teeth on edge. He and Lucas shared another look. How long had they been watched? “You were going to rob us on that road!” “If’n you come out from yonder and show me where my gold be, I just might let you live. Just the one of you, though. I know them coins ain’t where you been sleeping, and they ain’t where you are now, and not the barn neither, so don’t be lying to me.” “He’s been through the buildings,” Lucas said, his pale face full of anger. “He ain’t planning on letting either of us live… can hear it in his voice.” Prescott has already checked the cabin, most likely during the day while Jubal and Lucas have been working on the farm. So he also knows they don't have any guns on them, but Jubal has him thinking as he doesn't know if Jubal does or doesn't have any knives on him.
  23. Your strength shows my friend. At a time of sorrow and heartache, you still think of others, a trait of a true gentleman. I take my hat off to you sir.
  24. For a chapter that started out reasonably slow, with Reid's intentions becoming a little clearer, it certainly picked up in pace. I felt the tension and anger that Jubal was feeling. I think his anger and worry for his friend is what kept him going. Athough I'm not a fan of killing I feel justified in my relief that Prescott is dead. I hope that Jubal's actions to save Lucas' life are successful, but with the cliffhanger, we have to wait and see. I have my fingers crossed that Jubal can get to Bearpaw in time 🤞
