Hi Bedlamites,

You've received this email because you are a patron of Friends
of Bedlam at www.bedlamites.co.uk


The Edinburgh FoB committee is meeting for a beer
tomorrow night, Tues 7th February in Cloisters, Tolcross, Edinburgh
at 8pm.  All welcome.  Great beer.
Map and details available at www.bedlamites.co.uk

The London FoB mob is meeting for Sunday lunch later this month.
More details closer the time.



Big Gathering Reminder:
The annual large London FoB gathering is on Saturday 20th May 2006.



Bedlamite Andrew Kitchen got in touch with us about DramSoc
in the early 1960's.  He writes about a production of
Julius Caesar (1961): "We got ox blood from the local abattoir for
the murder scene, because we weren't satisfied with the appearance
of the fake stuff. After the first night, my bloody toga was reused
as my shroud - lying under days-old ox blood for the duration of
Mark Anthony's speech is not something I'd recommend to the squeamish"

More info about 1960s DramSoc is on the bedlamites website at
www.bedlamites.co.uk under "Bedlam Past - viewpoints".
If you'd like to submit any viewpoints or essays relating to your
time at DramSoc/EUTC/Bedlam, please email us at info@bedlamites.co.uk
