There are threads for films and TV shows, plus individual threads about specific shows but I thought maybe we should have one thread for live theatre.
What has brought this on? Well, recently I was treated as a birthday present to go and see The Mousetrap at St Martin's in London. It is years since I last sent to watch a live show and thoroughly enjoyed it. As ever, at the end the lead actor, although really it is an ensemble cast, steps forward and asks the audience not to tell anyone "Who dunnit"! So I keep their trust and shan't tell, except to say it was the same character as it was 70 years ago!
The other show, which really got me thinking about a thread, was today I was phoned and asked if I would like to go to see HMS Pinafore as there was a spare ticket. Now, I haven't seen any Gilbert & Sullivan since I was at school, and that wasn't yesterday! but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The show was held in Holland Park by the eponymously named Holland Park Opera and had been 'modernised' to a ship in the late1930s. A really lovely crew with some real laugh out loud moments. Again, unexpected but most enjoyable- I think I am getting the bug for live shows.
