A friend and I went to see an adaptation of Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus at the Lyric Hammersmith on Thursday. It's as bawdy, joyful and lyrical as the book. I wanted to run off and join the circus myself. Well, certainly learn how to trapeze anyway. Kneehigh, the theatre company behind the production are worth keeping any eye on, I think.

Ah, that must have been good. For some reason I haven't read a great deal of Angela Carter, but did just finish Wise Children this week - absolutely fantastic!

I love Wise Children too. But Nights at the Cirus is wonderful...read it if you get the chance! x
