The Doubtful Guest
I've a picture of the stage before they started (and before I saw the sign saying photography forbidden, oh well) up on flikr - check the sidebar.
A. saw this and bought tickets for us. Its an adaption of the Edward Gorey book of the same name. As surreal and weird as the original book, this was some of the best theatre I've seen, and pretty much defies description. I think the show has ended now, but if it hasn't, head along to the Cambridge Arts Theatre and see it. You may even get a Q&A with the cast, as we did.

Some nifty command line stuff
So after reading in the Halloween countdown pages at the
Redecorating Middle-Earth in Early Lovecraft blog that Mary Shelley's book 'The Last Man' was available as a free audiobook, I thought I'd download it and listen to it as a series of podcasts (thanks to
podcastamatic)
but when I got to the page, the low quality mp3's were mixed in with the high quality ones. I've addressed the multiple mp3 download issue
before, but this time I thought I could come up with something that got what I wanted. One last night command line sesson, and lo;
for i in `~/perl/mp3grep.pl thelastman.html | grep -v _64k` ; do filename=`echo $i | cut -d '/' -f 6 `;curl -C - -L -o $filename $i; done
A neat script that downloads the files, and renames them to something sensible. I'm sure you could replace the initial curl of the 'thelastman.html' file with another shell script to extract the info, but that I'll leave as an exercise.The things you'll do when you realise MacOSX only has curl, not wget (indeed, I understand why now, curl being much more powerful), and you determine to proceed anyway..
