Lenny Henry

Post by J.R. »

Who watched his one man show recorded last year and shown on BBC last night, (Friday 13th. July).

Absolutey one hour of pure brilliance.

For those that didn't see it, he stayed on stage and played all the parts of an extended Jamaican family.

It wasn't until the show was about half way through, I realised he was making a massive political statement to the Government concerning the Iraq war.

I can't wait to see it again !

Sadly I missed it on the telly, although I was actually at the filming of it in the Hackney Empire a few years ago. I remember it being very good, maybe I'll get it on DVD - might spot myself in the audience!
My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We’ll see about that.

It was rather good, especially at the end with about 5 different characters. including a dog. Ive never seen anyone steal a phone out of their own hand before!
