Spirited applause

And here's the curtain call for the new West End production of Blithe Spirit, with Dame Angela Lansbury in her first London stage role in 40 decades. She was superb, leading a top cast that included Jemima Rooper, Janie Dee, Charles Edwards and Simon Jones. Afterwards EdiSteve and I played the part of stage door Johnnies and hung around in a crowd of about 150 fans for more than an hour - but she left by taxi from the front. Oh well.
