In which the Whingers leave the country…

“Fancy seeing some of the Big Five?” asked Phil.

Andrew naturally assumed Phil was referring to the Great Dames of British Theatre, Judi, Maggie, Eileen, Helen and Biggins, so of course replied in the affirmative.

It was a huge disappointment to Andrew when he found out Phil actually meant lions and tigers and bears (oh my!) by going on safari in Africa (Phil’s not big on what lives where).

Review – Othello, Donmar Warehouse. With Ewan McGregor

Well, it’s all go at the Donmar. Signs outside the door saying that bags will be searched (they weren’t) and people with headsets busying around the auditorium telling you to switch off your mobile phones (not everyone did).

Yesterday saw the last preview of Othello at the Donmar Warehouse and the Whingers – being “friends” of the Donmar Warehouse – were rewarded for their friendship by being seated once again in the side rows while luminaries such as former Home Secretary Kenneth Baker (Baron Baker of Dorking), Michael Billington, Mark Lawson and the Whingers’ über stalker Baz Bamigboye were in the seats which faced the action, so presumably they got to see Othello’s big speech and death (sorry – should have said earlier: plot spoilers in here).

Stars and their Websites

The Whingers spend many a happy hour researching their links and occasionally unearth a few treasures.

Many stars have fantastic websites unashamedly selling themselves, (and their merchandise) and who can blame them?

So in the interest of your needs, the Whingers have made it very easy for you:

Prolific Mark Wynter is a particular favourite. He’s been in just about everything and sells autographed photos for £10, reduced to £7 if you buy one of his CD’s too. This really is a fantastic site, take the phone off the hook and enjoy.
