Chocaholic


Headed down to The Menier Chocolate Factory this weekend to see Chris Hampton's Total Eclipse, his 1968 play about the intense, doomed relationship between Rimbaud and Verlaine. I have to admit, before the performance I knew little about Rimbaud other than Bob Dylan liked his stuff. But Paul Miller's revival succeeds in showing the opposing directions from which Rimbaud and Verlaine approached writing. Rimbaud is all teenage angst and rebellion, Verlaine a sort of wife-beating masochist. It was interesting stuff. But it was the venue that lingered in the memory. A utilitarian performance space has real atmosphere, and the bar and adjoining cafe are both excellent. Well worth checking out.
