UK Theatre Network

How are you today, Friend ?

Well, as ever I have a packed newsletter to ensure you are entertained with news, reviews and previews of what's on in the UK, and also in the USA.

The UK Theatre Network continues to grow but it still needs your help to spread the word. I've got a new promo viral below and would be delighted if you could copy the code onto your blog, or send around your own social network friends.

I've expanded the reviewer team this week and now have lots of new talented UKGigs reviewers and a few UKStandup as well, so we'll be kicking of that part of the site early in 2008.

Have a fantastic time over the festive period and make sure you check out the new look website which will go live in the next week at: http://www.uktheatre.net/

UK FILM

I'm off to see a BAFTA screening of BEE MOVIE today at 4pm. This movie has been haunting me all year. At the Oscars I filmed Renne's entourage and had an on-camera chat with them. It was only after I saw the picture below, which is a rather different looking Renne, that made me think I may have captured Renne herself sitting coyly at the back. I'll need to have a closer look at the footage. Additionally, when I was in Cannes this year, the publicity around the BEE Movie included a massive bee sliding down a building. So, I thought when I got the invite this week to attend an exclusive screening at Soho Hotel, I thought it would be good to go along and see it.
