Cruel and unusual punishment

For an unknown crime, Donald Clark has been sentenced to attend an event on every day of the 2006 Brighton Festival. And as part of his community service, he's keeping a blog about it. So far he's been to see Irvine Welsh and Chuck Palahniuk in conversation, some art exhibitions and separate performances of Beckett's Trilogy and Milton's Paradise Lost. I'd say he's suffered enough, but it is entertaining.
