Six Degrees of Billy Elliot
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2012 11:12 am
A variation of the parlor game 'Six Degrees of Separation', where in six steps (no matter how obscure) you link a person, place or thing with Billy Elliot (character, film, or play). Best if the link starts with something in today's news:
Here is my first go:
1 The Archbishop of Canterbury
2 The Archbishop lives in Lambeth Palace
3. Lambeth Palace is in Lambeth, south of the River Thames
3. Nearby is a street named 'Lambeth Walk'
4. 'The Lambeth Walk' is a song and dance made popular in the West End play 'Me and My Girl'
5. 'Me and My Girl' premiered in the Victoria Palace Theatre, London, in 1937, and had a successful run there.
6. 'Billy Elliot the Musical' also premiered at the VPT and continues to have a successful run.
Is this game any good? No answer is 'right' or 'wrong' - just a bit of fun.
If anyone wants to try it, I suggest starting with another of today's news headliners: 'Hillary Clinton'.
