Whisky, Plays, Olympic Breakfasts

Here’s my latest Whisky Me video.


 

Oldham Coliseum has lost its funding and is facing closure. 

I wasn’t really a theatre person but I remember seeing a few pantos in my youth, and also a rendition of Alan Garner’s Elidor, a fantasy story set in Manchester in the ‘60s featuring – if I recall – the ghost of a Roman soldier. The play had some decent light effects and jump scares. 

The Theatre first opened in 1885, during the cotton boom. Past performers at the theatre, according to The Oldham Times, include Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel, Ralph Fiennes and Minnie Driver. 

In other news, I got a tweet of Olympic Heptathlete Katarina Johnson Thompson about fry-ups.
