My second son Dylan was playing the part of Riff last week in the school production of Westside Story. It's a musical he's loved for years, especially the Jets song, so it was great to see him perform in it so well. Interestingly, just as Rhodri died on stage two years ago as Bill Sykes in Oliver, so Dylan died on stage too. Furthermore, they played alongside siblings who again both died on stage (Nancy and Bernardo). Coincidences are common I guess. An interesting and appropriate touch in this production was a sequence reminding us of the problem of knife crime especially here in the capital. It was well done.

Westside Story etc
I had lunch yesterday in a restaurant with an attractive display of fifties and sixties records. The inclusion of Westside Story made me think of next week when I am looking forward to seeing my son Dylan perform as Riff. Break a leg Dylz!
