Suspenders at the ready on this day Before The Lockdown:
What is even worse is that I remember so very little of the Rocky Horror Show when I did get to see at the Wimbledon Theatre in London! It must have been fun, how could it not be? But no, I recall nothing. 😢
For some reason, I do not have a programme for this show, and I am almost fanatical in getting programmes! so the image here is one I have found on the Internet and, as far as I can tell, is correct for this particular tour
An interesting side-note to this is that when searching for that image I discovered that at the time this show was running Wimbledon Theatre was in severe financial difficulties and did, in fact close for several months until it was rescued by the Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG) and was rebranded as the New Wimbledon Theatre.
Having seen it in London a year earlier, with Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths, having the chance to see Equus again but with Alfie Allen & Simon Callow in the lead roles at the Theatre Royal Bath was too intriguing an opportunity to miss.
Apart from the cast, very little had changed. Like Radcliffe, Alfie Allen had a couple of good film roles under his belt but this was his first major stage role. And again, in Callow, Dysart was played by a well established and popular actor.
The play itself is fascinating and in many ways challenging but these older productions are now very much in the shadow of the extraordinary 2019 production. As I recall, I thought Allen was at least the equal of Radcliffe in the role of the tortured boy and he has certainly enjoyed success beyond this show which just predates his induction into the mythology of Game of Thrones.
As for Simon Callow, as much as I love him as a character, he is often too much of an actor and that was the case here, he seemed to lack the vulnerability that is necessary for the Dysart role and was a bit too much being Simon Callow.
Conceptually there's a lot to like about Our Country's Good, which I saw at the Bristol Old Vic.
It's a play about the redemptive power of art, in particular of theatre, and the injustice and immorality of an impersonal legal system that fails to account for social context.
I am very much onboard with the message, that justice needs to be just and that anyone, everyone, can benefit from having the opportunity to enjoy and even create art. But, it's just not a very exciting play.
I have no issues with the production, the cast, the performances and I have now seen two productions of the play and neither had the fire, the emotional reach, that makes good theatre so powerful. As an intellectual examination of a dark period in our history that still has relevance today it works well enough, but it's not one to stay etched in your memory.

Oh dear, this is rather embarrassing! I loved the film, it's iconic and a standard reference point for all of us who do not believe in conformity. Yet. I've only seen the stage show, on which the film was based, once.
