I HAD THE SENSATION OF NOT BEING

IN A PUBLIC THEATRE AT ALL, BUT IN

AN INSANE ASYLUM. ON THE STAGE,

IN THE ORCHESTRA AND IN THE

STALLS - PLAIN MADMEN!

See? They don't like it up 'em, Mr Mainwaring. And they would go on not liking it up 'em for quite some time, in fact. Even now, although Wozzeck gets a public airing quite a lot - for modern music, at least - it is still an no-go area for a huge majority of people calling themselves music fans. Personally, I can only recommend, till I'm blue in the face, that you go to see a great production of it - it really can leave you breathless, just so long as it's done right. Give it a try. As Mrs Doyle would say: 'Go en, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on…' 'Ah, you Will, you Will, you Will, you Will, you Will, you Will…' Oh, look - I'm blue in the face.

While I recover, let me break this to you gently. I'm skipping on a year. Sorry. Maybe if I point to something behind you and shout, 'Ooh, look at that!' youwon't notice. 'Oooh, look at that!'
