Priscilla, Queen of the stage in Madrid
- Detalles
What is the buzz about that bus?
Priscilla, the Queen of the Desert laden with glitz and glamour, has taken Madrid by storm for the second time around. Kudos to Som Produce who have given credence to the fact that this multi cast show can still draw huge crowds.
It may be a simple tale at the outset of odd individuals whose only prized possession is a tour bus christened Priscilla. However, the story gains momentum as the other characters join in and the hilarious situations keep the audience laughing in stitches.
Women of Rome at CaixaForum Madrid
- Detalles
Servilia Caepionis, Julius Caesar´s paramour, may not have figured prominently in the annals of history, but we know that she was loyal to him until he was brutally slain by her son Brutus, together with her son-in-law Cassius, in 44 B.C. Servilia´s turbulent love life and her political involvement make us ponder on the private and public roles played by women in ancient Rome.
The history of Rome is replete with power, passion, greatness and glory, but very limited reference is made to the gifted and attractive women lingering in the background. But finally, the voice of Roman females from the past can be heard (and rather loudly, too) thanks to the Caixa Banking Foundation. All roads will truly lead to Rome in this temporary exhibition, held at Caixa Forum until February 14th. This fantastic selection of pieces will bring us right into the heart of women and their daily lives in the midst of the Roman Empire.

Let´s look at the history of this great Association in the article written by our guest contributor Christopher Miller:
The origins of the British Ladies – how a trifle gesture started it all
Akin to most charitable organizations, The British Ladies Association startedon a modest scale. When the Second World War broke out in 1939 Lady Paterson - the then British Ambassador´s Wife - incepted The Ambassadress´ Knitting Party. Groups of British Ladies teamed up to knit comforts for the troops, namely the Army, the Navy and the Marines under the Patronage of Lady Maud Hoare, later to become Viscontess Templewood.

Las brillantes luces de neón van a iluminarte de lleno en la Gran Vía con la triunfal llegada del exitoso musical Cabaret en el renovado Teatro Rialto.
La decisión del director Jaime Azpilicueta de representar una nueva versión de Cabaret en la capila española es digna de elogio. Los aficionados al teatro recordarán su brillante Cabaret de 2003 con la prodigiosa Natalia Millán liderando el reparto. El mundo entero ha sido un escenario para Azpilicueta, quien ha sabido llevar con maestría a diferentes teatros las obras griegas clásicas, así como los trabajos de Lope de Vega, Arthur Miller. Samuel Becket, Tennessee Williams, Shakespeare, Harold Pinter, John Osborne y George Bernard Shaw entre otros. El destacado director, cuya brillante carrera comenzó en los últimos años de su adolescencia, ha presentado sus obras con éxito en numerosos países en Sudamérica así como en Nueva York.
