  1. One of the small cultural things that, collectively, can make a big difference.

    In the English market town of Great Malvern in Worcestershire (at the foot of the lovely Malvern Hills), a local initiative has resurrected a tiny theatre venue that had fallen into disrepair.

    The "Theatre of Small Convenience" is some 5m long and between 2-3m wide, a converted Victorian public toilet (hence the name!). It was founded by puppeteer Dennis Neale in 1997. It seats an audience of 12, or 16 standing.

    "Set to re-open its doors in October, the theatre’s first show is Sceptre, a seance-themed immersive show designed specifically for the space."

    So lovely!

    [My covid-cautious self has concerns about ventilation in such a tight space, but we can all wear FFP2 masks and I imagine windows and doors can be opened during performance.]
