Audio testing

A teaser for Lily through the dark (my favourite play we've seen)

Snow white and the seven dwarfs

Normally am not a pantomime fan, however this was brilliant but only because of Craig Revel Horwood, who played the evil queen. The rest of the piece lacked the life and substance he brought, especially the audience interaction which I thought pantomime was meant to have! The costume's were outrageous and loud, as expected, but other than Craig's amazing performance it didn't have anything 'special'

Merry Wives of Windsor

I am personally not a shakespeare fan, so for me this true to text and period verision of the merry wives dragged out completly. I was lost by the language barrier (therefore the humour was lost on me), and the set was uninspirational, with it merely just 'spinning'. The piece bored me

Hamlet

Turns shakespeare on it's head, and allows the audience to not only witness the true power of shakespeares story telling ability, but also brings a culture we rarely see alive. With only two actors, they manage to make the story of hamlet clear, and brings each character alive.

Urashima Taro

Unlike anything else I have seen, truely captivating and beautiful. With only one cast memeber, she manages to create a whole world with her skilled puppetry. Manages to brings two completly different worlds and cultures together.

Enron

Style over substance, with the plot dragging out, however there has not been a more relevant piece for todays economic situation. Although the story may not grip everyone the performances were strong and shined out.
