However, that is not the only way to show that, in fact it's a rather lazy way of writing, and it's cheesy as hell. And yes, I know that the audience are supposedly doomed at the end of the play, along with the young actor, which is utterly absurd. No matter how involved an audience gets, they are never going to go away thinking they are cursed by some old hag with dodgy make-up, not even if that old hag happens to be Anne Robinson. However, even though this is a shit play that borders on panto, with shit writing, the writer has made more money out of it than I probably ever will in my whole lifetime, so that will be of some consolation to him.

This play within a play, or more to the point, this rehearsal of a play within a play , without doubt asks the audience to commit its imagination and emotion throughout, but we have to actually see the ghost herself to realise that the actor playing 'kipps' is seeing her and is therfore , supposedly along with the audience, cursed for evermore!!

Yes, I'm kicking around Berlin. Tallinn and Helsinki await, followed soon after by my favorite destination of all, my owwwwwwwn room. Whoa, I've only just seen this bomb business. That's fucked up. Another reason to skip London this year, eh what. I don't know anything about thunderbirds or thundercats. Hi Martin! Yes, I’m kicking around Berlin. Tallinn and Helsinki await, followed soon after by my favorite destination of all, my owwwwwwwn room.

Whoa, I’ve only just seen this bomb business. That’s fucked up. Another reason to skip London this year, eh what.

Now looking for all accomodation offers in the UK. If you have a spare bed and want a self-exiled Irish writer who cooks a mean pasta then get in touch. There is a 60% chance that you won't regret it! In Victorian London it was fashionable to keep an eccentric hermit at the bottom of your garden. Let's keep tradition alive! I wish I'd brought my hammock with me. London is so fucking expensive, I have to get out of here! Now looking for all accomodation offers in the UK.
