Yesterday we went through to Edinburgh to see John and Gerry.
We met John at Greyfriar's Churchyard. Greyfriar's is famous for being the burial place of a wee dog called Greyfriar's Bobby. The story goes that when Bobby's Master died, the little dog would not leave his grave and stayed there for many a year. Walt Disney made a film about it, but the truth is perhaps not quite the way Disney presented it.
We took the boys for lunch to the Scream Pub. It was a nice lunch.
John is off to Australia on Tuesday for a month or so, while Gerry starts rehearsals for the Brunton Theatre Christmas Pantomime, "Mother Goose" The boys were in good form.
John managed to get us Company tickets for the Royal Lyceum's production of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest."
It was a great night's entertainment. The cast did well. I recognised 2 of the cast, because they had been in John, Gerry and James' award winning show "The Sundowe." They were Carla Kelly and Mark McDonnell
One of the funniest moments is the scene change. A curtain shrouds the stage, except fo a door sized opening, where the Butler stands. A hand emerges from each side of the opening and proceed to undress, then re-dress the butler for his next scene as a different butler. It has to be seen to be appreciated! For me, the butler, though he had little to say, stole every scene he was in.
