Well, there is a play called Two Graves playing right now....we know that.

Overview of the play:

Paul Sellar's new play Two Graves comes to London's West End Arts Theatre for a strictly limited season following a season at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

A fast, furious, funny and action-packed modern verse drama, Two Graves is a tale of murder, revenge and retribution, set in London's East End underworld of betting-shops, back-room gambling, debt collection and working-class skulduggery. Jack Tops sets out to avenge the murder of his father, drawing him deep into London's violent underworld. It's a dark and dangerous place but Jack is a survivor...

The play has a cast of one...just one.


One review:
http://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/revie ... 69/2graves

Says something interesting:
It will not give the game away to paraphrase the closing lines of Paul Sellar’s new play, drawn from the wisdom of Confucius, to remind us that “he who seeks revenge should first dig two graves, one for himself.”

It's dark now, but I'll send you a picture tomorrow.
Yay! More pics of Clue! :P

I'm suspecting because of all the hype on what accent she has, I think Gemma isn't in London at all. I think its all a lie.

And she doesn't understand why the watchers have found her because she was hiding.

Well, it's what all the older buildings here are made from. I wasn't aware that London had trademarked the common red brick found through out the world...

Kas please don't get hostile, I'm only pointing put what I remember from being in London. When I said trademark I didn't mean trademark from a legal point of view. I meant to say characteristic.

Sorry, wasn't meaning to be taken as hostile. Just...pointing out that red brick buildings are common in a lot of places.

All of Gemma's videos are pretty tight...and this is the first one we've seen of her outside (I'm pretty sure). It's a brick wall...some iron fencing and some shrubbery. Frankly, it could be anywhere.

Here in Los Angeles, it rained yesterday morning was was quite chilly...well.....for Los Angeles anyway.


I've been saying that these locations are more than likely just "sets" - they aren't necesarrily meant to convey anything but a general feeling.

Those of us that live in the Valley can point out all kinds of landmarks being used in these videos. That "Breakfast in Bed" vid showed him driving by the Sepulveda Dam and basin....but the "feel" was supposed to be him driving through the countryside or something....before he got to the Ralph's grocery store.

It's all one big movie set here in LA, folks...I guess you have to live here to understand.
