Theatre

[DaveC]

Just realised that this forum is called TV, film, theatre.

What theatre have people seen?

My bio:

I was in Pirates of Penzance when I was 11 at school, playing a cowardly policemen. Also got taken to a lot of Gilbert and Sullivan by my parents when me and my brother were young.

Then there is a very long gap and the last things thatI saw were Jude Law as Doctor Faustus in 2002, then a university adaptation of The Princess Bride in 2004.

Nada since then.

Any takers?

I haven't been to the theatre in years. Last time I went was to see Maskerade - I mean Phantom of the Opera with my Dutch friend when she was visiting.

The time before that was (I think) Sondheim's 'A Little Night Music' - I got in free to that one as they were trying to fill the theatre.

I've seen one production of a Discworld play - Wyrd Sisters. It was quite well done and the woman playing Nanny Ogg was particularly good and had a Welsh Valleys accent.

Seen Salome with Steven Berkoff, Rocky Horror, Midsummers Night Dream, Bouncers, Miss Saigon and a few pantos when I was a kid.

Saw the Woman in Black over Christmas.
Saw Wyrd Sisters late last year.
Went Les Mis last summer.

I do go the odd time to University productions, expecially shakespeare.
My fave play though has to be The Plough and The Stars , by Sean O' Casey.

I once heard of a theatre performance of The Diary of Anne Frank that was so bad, that when the Germans broke into the house, someone from the audience shouted "She's in the attic!"

I went to see Lipservice at the Theatre Royal recently
Also saw Joseph and his Technicolor Dreamcoat, cos my sister was drafted in to go ahhh at the back

Was the Wizard played by Sam Kelly, by any chance?

 

[Bickaxe]

Saw Wicked! last June, it was a lot better than i was expecting as musicals are really not my thing.,
Have seen quite a few of Mr Briggs's DW plays performed by his lot and others

Tomorrow....

I am going to the theatre tomorrow ...... But its only a one act play
But there is free nibblies ... but Mad says they are poisonous
All my daughters are taking me .... but I have to drive to and from
They are serving drinks ... but I can't drink because I have to drive

 

[The Mad Collector]

I don't say they're poisonous, Tina Hannan just gave a not specific humorous warning

Actually from the ones I have done they are very nice, just don't try making the humbugs

 

[deldaisy]

Too much water huh.

Did they correct that in subsequent printings?

Personally I have never read it. Can't find it.

 

[The Mad Collector]

No it's never been fixed
