I thought I was ready for Beckett. Turns out I wasn't. I just don't think I'm clever enough. Or too mainstream. Liking my lowest common denominator comfort blankets when I go to the cinema, like plot or action or characters. Happy Days didn't really have any of these. I tried to read reviews afterwards to help me understand what I was missing but the first review I read used the word "Aeschylean" and even with the help of Google I don't know what that means. I assumed it was to do with Aeschylus, and my Classics knowledge is limited but didn't he increase interaction between characters? If anyone can explain (either the meaning of Aeschylean or Happy Days - although I suspect that there's no meaning to the latter) that would be ace.
To add to my experimental theatre, I also saw experimental comedy this week - Alex Horne duetting with himself and Andre Agassi. This was more fun than Beckett, that's for sure, although I'm not convinced it was out and out "funny".
