With the musical, opera, ballet and Shakespeare plays (although mostly with the Shakespeares) do you mean on stage, or are filmed stage productions (or films) sufficient?

Definitely on stage - I never watch things properly on screen - well, perhaps at the cinema, but by the time I've got a cinema ticket I might as well have a theatre ticket.
Even some of the figures that aren't x aren't final. I still need to work out how often I would like to do something and how often I could plausibly do something, and come to a compromise!

Date: 2010-09-04 08:39 am (UTC)Paper piecing has always befuddled me. And now that gives me something else to add to my list (although not actually to do with paper piecing: just to finish off a long-standing wallhanging that doesn't even need all that much quilting before it's done.)
