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

From today's Philadelphia Daily News (Sat., 18th Feb.):

'Thumbing a ride beyond

The Curio Theatre Company presents a new version of Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

Based on the radio script developed for the BBC, director Jared Reed presents the drama with live actors, as well as film and storyboard illustrations.

Producers promise an exciting and unique sci-fi adventure.

Calvary Church, 48th Street and Baltimore Avenue, 8 tonight. The show runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through March 4. It then moves to the Walnut Street Theatre Studio Five, running Thursdays through Sundays, March 9-26. $22, 215-525-1350.'

If any Philly researchers make it to the show, it'd be nice to get a review, either as a stand-alone article or for "The Post"

There is certainly one very well-known researcher who lives in the same State.

I know of one or two attending tonight.. I will leave this link for them..

Elektra and I are going to the matinee this afternoon.

I'll write you a review. How would you like it? As a guide entry?

Whatever works for you! I'm just jealous that it's on the wrong continent for me to see it.

An entry it shall be.

Maybe hootoo could spot them plane tickets. I'm sure the theatre group would love to go international.

Cheaper if they just sent me there...

Okay. The play was great - wonderful use of the material, great voices, really good.

I'll try to have the review asap and post the entry number here, for whatever use anybody wants to make of it.

Elektra and I enjoyed ourselves hugely - and the theatre group, who are saving an important piece of Philadelphia architecture, are delightful people.

In case anybody wants it, here's the review -

It was lots of fun.

Aye. It looks it.

Nice one.

Just to let you know, we love this review and will be running it in Thursday's edition of .

Thanks, folks. I've sent a link to the theatre people, so they know we appreciate them.

..and the post as well?

Oh Well Done, Dmitri!!

Thanks, lil.

HI There

What are the chances of this coming to the masters birthplace, or even someone in Britain putting on something similar, We can only live in hope.

Well, the theatre group *has* been to Oxford, according to their PR material - so anything could happen.
