A night at the "Opera"

Last Saturday, I was invited at the Grand Opera House of Belfast to watch a play. This is one of the fanciest place of Belfast, created in 1895 and refurbished totally some years ago. As the bizarre architecture of the place says it, it is not a place devoted to only one kind of art, but it is more a place where opera, magic, circus, theatre and musicals collides to create something monstruous and opened to everyone...  It has even been used as a cinema during 20 years. Of the play I watched at this occasion ("The Happy Medium") I won't say any word : a cheap comedy, set in Belfast, with cheap jokes, and such a strong accent that I couldn't understand most of the jokes with where not... physical. But according the roaring irish audience, it was really funny ! :)
