Dublin, Ireland 2017: Day 8

RAIN! RAIN! RAIN!

Nonstop rain!

Because of such weather change, Jimmy and I went out to lunch and then to the theater to do the show. The following picture is from many other days before today:

And here's a collage of images that I have taken with Jimmy. Trivia Question: Do you know why I appear to the right of Jimmy all the time? Hint: It has to do with Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.


And finally, a second review of our production came out so here I share this with you:

"FESTIVAL REVIEW: Joto! Confessions of a Mexican Outcast, Outhouse 105 Capel Street, runs until Saturday 7.30pm, matinee Saturday 4pm. Joto - the Mexican term for faggot is an autobiographical play about a very interesting character. It is always striking with the similarities in the experience of lgbt people regardless of their culture or location. This is a well-paced, funny piece with innocence and intelligence. Beautifully staged on a small space by Director Jimmy A Noriega, the connection of the bilingual Carlos Manuel is consistent and entertaining. He has great energy and colour as he skims through a childhood in Catholic Mexico, school, his success and obsession in musical theatre and his journey about how being undocumented in the USA really impacts on life, love and the future. Accompanied by a vibrant soundtrack, images from Mexican soap operas and his own photo album, this funny, personal evening is fine theatre, very satisfying and hugely relevant in Trumps version of the land of the free. Runs until Saturday. Well worth a visit. GF"
