Having seen now "Unearthy Child" and "The Daleks", I know what you mean. I'll post my thoughts in a while.

Patrick Stewart & Stratford: unfortunately, due to my schedule (http://www.tanja-kinkel.de/index_ter.html), I wouldn't be able to it in autumm anymore than in spring, but I will be in England for several weeks in August, which is when I'll see him. BUT I also want to see Ian McKellan, and he's not on until November, so if the three of us could go together then, that would be great (and I can do two days or so in November).
