Current reading: London Tide (Our Mutual Friend adaptation) play script
Tonight's new reading for me, the play script of "London Tide", a stage version of Charles Dickens's "Our Mutual Friend" which is currently on at the National Theatre in London, UK. The theatre version includes lots of songs by PJ Harvey, with plot appropriate lyrics. So I won't be experiencing them with full melodies, though the words are in the book. Nor will I see the ambitious staging. But basically curious to see how they've adapted this gargantuan Dickens book - my all time favourite - to a theatre version.
I have enormous difficulty reading print now due to my neurological illness. But unless the font is tiny I do usually cope well still with play scripts. The harder challenge is trying to imagine the full picture. Sometimes there are staging clues. But yes, that's a format I can still usually still read. Thankfully.
