Next to City Hall is the Scoop. A modern day open air amphitheatre. It plays host all year round to a wonderful array of activities and events, most of them free to the public. In September and October it will be the site of outdoor cinema in the evening (yes "bring you own blankets and wrap up warm" guidance has been issued). The play "The Mother" is what's on now and these two are in rehearsals for it. The play is a new translation of Brecht's classic play by Mark Ravenhill, one of the UK's most celebrated and controversial playwrights, and looks set to cause waves of its own as this year's street protests dictate the political agenda at home and abroad.
