Empire boss accuses Boff of "great naivety"

The Stage covers Andrew Boff's proposals for the Hackney Empire: "Interim chief executive of Hackney Empire, Clarie Middleton, said that she thought the proposals showed “great naivety”, adding that the council grant would have to increase ten-fold in order to sustain the theatre as a producing venue."

And in case this wasn't clear, she didn't just criticise his proposals, she told The Stage: "This man is Naive."

Empire to close - aircraft noise pollution

The guardian reports that the Hackney Empire will be out of action for 9 months due to financial difficulties.

Aeroplane noise... I've only noticed how bad it is since being made redundant... as if pilots change down a gear and make a screeching turn in the skies over Chatsworth Road. This research shows it is a problem with East London topping aircraft noise list. Hackney is the eighth worst affected borough.

MP Meg Hillier is on maternity leave but she makes the odd appearance every now again. A Google News search also threw up this mysterious item: "Mục tiêu của hội An Việt là giúp người Việt Nam sống tại Anh Quốc có thể hội nhập vào xã hội mới, tạo cơ hội thăng tiến cho các thế hệ sau này. Phỏng vấn ông Vũ Khánh Thành, nguyên nghị viên hội đồng thành phố Hackney, người sáng lập hội An Việt"

Does any one know what, where or when this event was?
