"I don't need this right now, Gordon!". And yes, the theatre where I saw the Tom Stoppard play had doors which led out directly onto the street, too. Always throws me. Pete - doors leading out of a cinema auditorium onto the street aren't quite so weird ;-). that sounds like a very Greenwich Village experience you had, there; the sort of thing that happens in a Woody Allen film but which you never think would in real life. only, clearly, it does.

How cool is that! And yes, the exit went straight out into the street there too.

It's the best bit of the sketch. Don't they look young, bless. x I've seen something on Broadway. Or was it Off Broadway. Definitely not Off Off Broadway but definitely on a side street. I saw Gabriel Byrne and his little blue eyes were visibly twinkling from all the way over up on stage. It's odd - in the second half all the audience rearrange themselves into seats that haven't been sold. So they must spend a lot of time in the first half looking at the seating rather than the stage. And the doors to the auditorium come out almost directly onto the street. I felt short changed of a chance for a drink in the foyer. R x Yes that’s where my comment was inspired.

I don't need this right now, Sarah! :-) yes, it's doing all those things for me. it's fascinating.. even when I've been low. it's challenging me on so many levels, but 99% of the time, those challenges are proving to be at the very least interesting, and at the very most enormous fun. to quote Henry Mancini: there's such a lot of world to see... what is this, Cookery Corner?

It's definitely doing all that for you isn't it? Scary at times, depressing even, for sure, but you know...breaking eggs and making omelettes and all that. It's also bringing you new opportunities, and possibly new directions for the future. Lots of ticks there, then!
