![]() ![]() ![]() But neither city is the capital: that’s Washington DC, which is something like the eighth biggest urban area by population. In the same way, Chicago is sometimes referred to as the United States’ second city, apparently on the grounds that in the 19th century it was second in size to New York (it’s since been overtaken by Los Angeles, but the name persists in that of a well-known comedy club). It would thus be absurd to refer to Edinburgh as the second city of Scotland, but absurd, too, to hand that crown to Glasgow. ![]() The second largest city in Scotland is Edinburgh, which is also its capital. Instantly, though, we have a problem, which is that those two definitions sometimes clash. Ask our friends/overlords at Google, and you’ll find that second city generally means either a country’s second largest city, or possibly the second most important city after its capital. Let’s begin, as lazy content since the dawn of time has begun, with definitions. ![]()

![]() ![]() Now owned by Stalin, the wine was discreetly removed to a remote Georgian winery when Stalin was concerned the advancing Nazi army might overrun Russia, and inevitably loot artefacts and treasures. The wine had become the property of the state after the Russian Revolution of 1918, during which Nicholas and his entire family were executed. The list was discovered to be a comprehensive catalogue of the wine collection of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Russia. ![]() Always entrepreneurial and up for adventure, he was the perfect person for an occasional business partner to approach with a mysterious wine list that was foreign to anything John, or his second-in-command, Kevin Hopko, had ever come across. In the late 1990s, John Baker was known as a purveyor of quality rare and old wines. The adventure of a lifetime to buy Stalin’s secret multimillion dollar wine cellar located in Georgia it is the Raiders of the Lost Ark of wine. ![]() ![]() I binged watched it for 2 nights straight.

The narrative was communicated through a series of overlapping scenes blending the mediums of interpretive dance, contemporary dance and traditional acting. The audience members, who were free to roam around the sets at will, wore white masks to distinguish themselves from the cast who were maskless and the stewards/staff who wore discreet black masks. The production fell within several genres of theatre, including site-specific theatre, promenade theatre, interactive theatre and immersive theatre. The narrative was based on the short stories of Edgar Allan Poe, including but not limited to " The Masque of the Red Death" (1842). It played for a 7-month sold-out run, and was seen by more than 40,000 people, involving a cast of around 35 and utilising almost all of the space within the Battersea Arts Centre building. ![]() The Masque of the Red Death was a major theatre production by British company Punchdrunk, following their production of Faust in 2006 and echoing the format of that show.
