'Parsifal' Review. Plus two fabulous (non-groomery) shows for children, Ukraine appeal, John Godber's triumphant return to Hull Truck, contested queer history and a personal tribute to Kay Mellor
You're on top form, Liz! Pungent criticisms, and oh, how I hooted at Chucky, not to mention flying spittle and man-boobs, so very uncomfortable to contemplate in continuing COVID times (however much we may want to wish them over). I am supposed to come over to the UK in the autumn, and this reminds me of the rich shared culture that awaits me--it also makes me feel less old to know that Frankie Howerd and Yootha Joyce (whose name looked like a typo to me as a kid) are still relevant. Maybe more than ever. Pls tell us about the groomery shows. That sounds simultaneously ghastly and hilarious.
