Expect it's a bit easier once Christmas is over. <br />Don't wait as long as I did. I've been promising to visit for 20 years or more! But I didn't realise you could just turn up on the day.maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-42081796522154366322011-12-20T13:38:07.173+00:002011-12-20T13:38:07.173+00:00I have been meaning to go here for years too - you...I have been meaning to go here for years too - you've reminded me I must go in the New Year Mary!

I'd love to know what your mixed feelings were ... as you can tell, I found it quite extraordinary. I know it's theatre, and it's orchestrated, but somehow there was a sense of real lives.
