Read in the paper about a theatre adapting Bukowski's stories and poems, thought I'd share it with you all in case any of your are Scottish

Here's the newspaper review, he say's some quite unkind things about Bukowski, but liked the show:

I don't really go to the theatre but if that was a bit closer I'd probably give it a shot.
"for Barflies, Grid Iron theatre simply took over the Barony bar - not a theatre above the bar; they throw out the genuine alcoholics for an hour or so mid-afternoon and black-curtain the windows; and the audience are, suddenly, in a glinting, dark bar, with a piano playing jazz, and there's a pint waiting, and smoke."
