(Note: I’ve been thinking for a while about blogging more. Especially having worked out it’s just over three years since my first and only post! I’m now writing elsewhere this year, so it’s not for lack of wanting to write. I just keep thinking ‘I could write x or y’ and then having the fear it won’t be long enough, good enough, detailed enough. Solution: just write something and press ‘publish’ whatever the hell it is.)
So. I went to see Aknaten, an opera, at the English National Opera in London last month with my friend Dan. ‘Aknaten’ or ‘Akenaten’ (I use them interchangeably because I can) was an Egyptian pharoah in the 1300s BC and it’s about his story (more on that later). ‘Opera’ is a loose term for the hynoptic, religious, sometimes absurd spectacle that we watched, which either made me lose track of time entirely or had me watching my watch in slight frustration at times.
Also, how it connects to Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Serious Sam (ish).
