Something different
We went to the theatre last night, something we have not done for years. The play was the stage version of Terry Pratchett's "Lords & Ladies", his 14th book. A parody of Shakespeare's "Midsummer's Night,s Dream". I'm sorry to say that the acting did not do the story line justice, in fact, if it was on the TV, I would have switch off or over. The cast did try, but were amateurs to say the least, but all credit to them, there could not have been more the 12 in the cast, & they all played several parts. The scenery was very basic & was constantly moved or turned to suite the act. Fortunately, my own imagination did the rest...It had to.
Oh, the theatre, it is at Buxton, the Opera House. Not very big but decorated in the traditional way, lots of gold & White/Cream paint with Cherubs, pictures & musical instruments painted on the walls & ceiling.
Would I go again? Perhaps. Having said that, we are going to see "Dinner Ladies" (Victoria Wood's TV comedy) 6th June. More on that later.
