(Caused not only by that work overload, but also by my notebook's villainous mainboard that decided to end its life in the most spectacular fashion ...) I just meant to leave a short note for the dedicated Fry archivarians, namely that I had the strange pleasure of watching a <a href="http://www.undsofort.de/peter.html">German theatre adaptation of &quot;Peter's Friends&quot;</a> last Friday night, on a teeny weeny mini stage in what seemed to be a former avantgarde cinema - that is, a tiny, narrow room with about thirty seats arranged on some sort of slope. Really nice performance, quite close to the movie actually. Which brought about the confusing effect that I felt like watching two plays simultaneously, two plays fading into and superimposing each other over and over again. For naturally I had Fry, Laurie, Staunton, Thompson &amp; Co. in mind while I was watching the German actors doing their bits. Cognitively challenging, but nevertheless rather funny.
