UK Theatre Network - Packed with EntertainmentHi there Friend Hope you're week has been great. The uktheatre.net website was out of action. I finally tracked down the problem to one of my US service providers and after extensive calls, email and escalation, finally got them to accept that it was something on their servers. I managed to get it all back online in time for my chat on Sky TV last night and got the highest hitcount in a single day this year. Whew ! There's lots of new articles this week with comedy, gigs as well as theatre. Whether you are in Glasgow, Manchester or London there's lots going on, and you can even book up in advance for a Christmas panto ?! But it doesn't end there, ooh no ! There's cultural arts news and a Government report to download, as well as some new member profiles to check out. It's all here in your latest UK Theatre Network newsletter. Have a fantastic week.
