Tonight is Bonfire Night, when we celebrate the failure of a 17th century Catholic soldier to blow up Parliament. We mark this occasion by burning an effigy of Guy Fawkes. Never quite sure whether that means we like ol' Guido or not.
Usually I'd be out enjoying the flashes and bangs with the best of them, but tonight was the press night for the latest play at Clwyd Theatr Cymru in Mold, Copenhagen by Michael Frayn, so we were there instead. While the skies were filled with colour outside, inside the debate at the heart of Frayn's intense play was more about the brilliant white flash of atomic fission than the gunpowder plot.
The view over the mountains from the bar at Clwyd Theatr Cymru is stunning, and provided an ideal place to watch the fireworks over Mold before the play began. This image of the bar reflected in the rain-dappled windows kind of summed up how reflective the play leaves you feeling.
