TOLD LOOK YOUNGER: GALA NIGHTS

Very enjoyable Gala performance last night in aid of Opening Doors UK with a stimulating discussion afterwards hosted by the inimitable Richard wilson.

There's another Gala night in aid of Pride in London coming up on Tuesday 23rd June. There is a item in the "silent" auction organised by Pride in London offering tickets to the show together with  a voucher for £100 for supper at the Bar Boulud at the Mandarin Oriental after. Why not check it out?

TOLD LOOK YOUNGER: Reviews

Among the early mostly very favourable reviews, this from Stewart Trotter:

Men sit round a table, drinking wine and talking about the nature of love - physical and spiritual. No, it's not Plato's 'Symposium' - it's Stephen Wyatt's beautiful, wry and challenging play 'Told Look Younger.' Three gay 'friends' in their sixties - a repressed academic, Oliver (Robin Hooper) an aggressive property developer, Jeremy (Michael Garner) and an aesthetic architect, Colin, (Christopher Hunter) meet in a series of extraordinary restaurants and are served by a series of extraordinary waiters (all played by the extraordinary Simon Haines). Colin's long-term lover has died and he reveals to his friends he plans to marry Ahmed, a twenty year old Turk of three months' acquaintance. Consternation round the table - followed by time's inevitable fluctuations of friendship and love. This glorious play - which openly admits there are no answers - is directed with warmth and vigour by the legendary Sue Dunderdale and must be seen beyond the gay community. It runs at the Jermyn Street Theatre till the 4th July.

TOLD LOOK YOUNGER: MEET THE CAST

Some excellent photos of the cast in rehearsal taken by Simon Annand.

PRIX MARULIC

Turns out the Prix Marulic got their maths wrong when counting the votes, and we really came second!

So a promotion of sorts!   A little embarrassing for the organisers though...

TOLD LOOK YOUNGER: STEPHEN FRY'S TWEET

Many thanks to Stephen Fry for his tweet about TLY.

We're crossing our fingers that he may also be able to make it to the show, film commitments permitting.

THE SHADOW OF DORIAN GRAY

Very generous message from Michelle Magorian, the author of Goodnight, Mr Tom about The Shadow of Dorian Gray:
"Mesmeric and heart breaking. I was close to crying by the end. You managed to convey so powerfully the claustrophobia, isolation and terror of being or betraying who you are. Superb."
The Shadow of Dorian Gray is still available on iPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05vy5ns
