COLUMN Lewes Out Loud Plenty more Henty It’s ironic really that, having spent a good part of the last eighteen months writing, rehearsing and appearing in Raymond Briggs’s Sofa – my radio play tribute to the remarkable illustrator who lives locally – I have never seen The Snowman film which was first broadcast on Boxing Day in 1982. The 26-minute masterpiece by animator, Roger Mainwood, who died earlier this year, won a Bafta and an Academy Award nomination. It has, of course, become a perennial seasonal favourite, screened on British television every Christmas with the exception of 1984. Where have I been all of this time I thought to myself as I visited the exhibition of the same name at Brighton Museum recently. Here you can see the original illustrations for Raymond’s much loved picture book and in one corner, a screen was continuously showing the film to a group of young visitors, perched on stools. I joined them and puzzled even more over having missed such a magical tale. The Snowman runs until January 6 (see pg 77) and, incidentally, my play raised over £1,700 for local charities and received praise from the man himself. Raymond penned ‘Congrats. on raising so much dosh!’. It was a great pleasure and thanks to Viva readers in both Lewes and Brighton for their support. Further irony this month, especially if you can recall my lavish praise for our local cinema in November. Friendly staff, good food and comfortable seating, I wrote, and near perfection for this occasional picture goer as I settled down for a lunchtime showing of A Star Is Born. That is until five minutes into the movie. Enter woman left, in the dark, clutching her Smartphone and clumsily seeking her seat – next to me. Then she checked her screen twice before the arrival of another woman who was carrying a small container of strong smelling food which they proceeded to share. Despite all this, I enjoyed the film, although I’m obliged to say that I preferred the 1976 version with Barbra Streisand and no gratuitous swearing. Why the need for this and indeed, why the need for reprising such film classics? Coming soon to Le Depot, Funny Girl and a revamped Mary Poppins in time for Christmas. Oh dear! I’m beginning to sound like Southover’s version of Scrooge and nothing could be further from the truth. I’ll be downtown for late night shopping as usual – checking the chestnuts and sharing some mulled wine. For Christmas I want a Yuyu hot water bottle with Liberty cover and adjustable strap. Over the festive period, the family and I may be playing an American board game I acquired in Seaford. It’s called Trump – The Game and comes complete with 60 Trump cards, a plastic money tray, game board and Trump money. Honest! There is a highly complex rule book but, in true US Presidential style, I’ll tear that up and we’ll get the battered Snakes and Ladders box out as usual! Happy Christmas! 33
