Free Belly Dancer Tickets for Bloggers

I confess to being chuffed that the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Helen Clark, has named Murder in Samarkand as her Book of the Year.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/print/4334781a6442.html

Meantime, Nadira's performance of The British Ambassador's Belly Dancer has its thirteenth performance at the Arcola tonight. Like all the previous twelve, it is sold out. The audiences' responses have been enthusiastic, while the critics ranged from bemused to hostile.

So who has got it right? The paying public or the critics? We may get more of a chance to decide when it transfers to the West End, at the Arts Theatre from 4 February. (Box Office 0870 060 1742 or http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/event/22004023B319A92D?camefrom=CFC_UKAFF_NEWS_LDNP&m3_data=ej0xMDc2fHA9NDEwMHxhPTkzODU&brand=uk_thelondonpaper ) In line with my (rather biased) opinion that bloggers are important, we are offering a limited number of free tickets to bloggers in the first week, on condition that they will blog about the show. That does not mean blog uncritically - we are interested in honest reactions.

If any bloggers are interested, please email me at craigjmurray@tiscali.co.uk, including the URL of your blog and the date you would like to go. I will try to organise a ticket for you.
