Classical guitar recital by John Williams on W L Hoffmann program

John Williams offered a lucid, sculpted recital with Bach Partita transcriptions, Praetorius dances, Dodgson piece, and a dramatic Tombeau, leading to a standout Albeniz and a nearly unknown Albeniz Sonata in D. His control, clarity, and restrained brilliance drew praise for musical satisfaction and period-appropriate tone.

Theatre review portages a lively round show

A cosy in the round performance by Preapt Theatre directed by Alms offers an evening of mixed sketches and masked acting. McMahon Whilam and others open with a weak start but after the interval the cast recovers with stronger bits led by Red Soure and Sarma. The production shines with John Curle and a striking dress replica, while some masked pieces struggle with movement and visibility. Overall the show entertains though some performances vary in impact.
