Trying

Back to the Neptune this evening, for our first show of the new year. Tonight's play was Trying by Joanna McClelland Glass, and very good it was, too. I wasn't at all sure what it would be like - from the advance press, it seemed like it might be a bit fluffy and sentimental - but it wasn't at all. It had a serious and touching storyline, but with lots of laughs, and great characters. Given the rather heavy plays that the Neptune staged over the autumn, it was quite refreshing and very enjoyable.

Given that Valentine's Day is looming, we decided to make a night of it and went out for dinner beforehand. We chose Chateaubriand, a new French restaurant on Granville Street, and it was very good. I'm sure we'll go there again.
