h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have no doubt that many of my fellow researchers like me bought tickets for the Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy Radio Show Live.

However, most of you will have bought them for a venue that isn't Belfast. Sadly at 4pm on Friday before the run in Belfast was due to start today the three Belfast shows were all cancelled. The Grand Opera House in Belfast are merely saying due to circumstances outside their control and the Facebook page of the production is being rather vague.

However, Northern Ireland is a small enough place that people know people. And some of those people are saying that at the very last minute the production pulled out of transporting the show to Belfast for 'business reasons'. Which make us doubt that the promise of bringing the show here in the future is as viable. Once again the people of Northern Ireland are missing out on entertainment that they will enjoy because some Vogons in headquarters have taken it upon themselves to demolish people's hopes at the last minute...it wasn't even a Thursday!!!

So while I was looking forward to seeing the sound effects being produced live, Simon Jones et al preforming the parts that I know so well, Rula Lenska as The Book for the day I had booked, I shall sadly not be doing what I had intended to do this Wednesday evening and celebrate Beatrice's birthday with a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster at the interval.

I hadn't even heard of it, but sorry you were disappointed. I take it you moved back to NI? Haven't heard much from you for a long time, hope you are okay?

for the missing h2g2 show.
