Positive Spin

I mean, in years to come, I might be able to tell people that I was one of the lucky few who saw Edward Bennett in Hamlet, when he stepped in for David Tennant under dramatic circumstances, brought the house down with his spectacular performance, and launched his now-glittering career! Pity the poor folk who just saw boring old DT. Indeed, did I ever mention how I saw the actress who'd been the understudy in 42nd St and then took over the role, in a case of life imitating art? It was Catherine Zeta Jones. Fact. So the future me finds this totally exciting. Totally. Exciting.
