On This Day: 20th May

A day of contrasting experiences at the theatre on this day Before The Lockdown:

in 2015

I've hated musical films for as long as I can remember - all thigh-slapping gusto and ludicrously overt smiling and screwball choreography. No, I wanted realism and emotional depth.
But, since I started going to the theatre regularly, I've come to appreciate that there is a place for stories told through music and they're not all madcap song and dance fests.
However, Oklahoma! was surely a perfect example of all the things I hated about 'traditional' musicals but I thought I should at least give it a chance. It wasn't overly expensive and I really should base any opinion I have on fact, so I handed over the money and went along to the Theatre Royal Bath.
Somewhat annoyingly, I did actually rather enjoy it! The characters were believable, the story arc made sense and the whole production was very polished. Sure, the songs were cheesy, but once I settled into the rhythm of the thing I did find myself smiling along with the rest of the audience and quite enjoying it.
For sure it's still not the sort of thing I would rush out to see but as a fun and entertaining way to spend a couple of hours ... oh, why not! 😀


in 2017

They had been running for years but I had somehow not realised what the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Directors' Cuts season was about. It wasn't until 2017 that I recognised what I had been missing out on! I could, perhaps, have chosen a simpler and more explicable production than I Am The Wind at the Wardrobe Theatre in Bristol for my first experience of a Directors' Cut.
A mysterious Norwegian play with just two characters, The One and The Other, on a boat looking inside themselves and out at the sea around them trying to come to some sort of philosophical comprehension. Often talking to themselves rather than each other, we are never quite sure why they are there or what their relationship is.
I can't tell you what it was actually about, or what conclusion was reached (if any!) but I loved the way ideas were played with; as words, and silences, were used to precise effect that kept me enthralled throughout.
As much as I enjoy being uplifted by joyous shows, or simply amused and entertained for an evening, I really love watching plays about ideas, and existence, or simply the beauty of language as it expresses human emotions. This was certainly one of the latter, a rewarding, if baffling, experience.

The New Blog

Hi, while my YouTube channel is still quite small (less than 1,000 subscribers, etc.) I can't use the built-in YouTube features to actively engage with you, the lovely folk who watch, comment, and subscribe to my channel. As I am already sort of familiar with Blogger I though I would open up a new space here specifically linked to the YouTube channel but one that allows me to share stuff other than my game videos and can also be somewhere for all of us to exchange thoughts and ideas about the channel or anything else that pops into our minds. So ... if you're not into using Twitter or Instagram to communicate, or find them too limiting, or are strange enough to want to read more of my long-winded thoughts and observations then ... WELCOME! Now, if you're new to my channel or maybe just curious about who the heck I am please check out the links in the title bar which might give you some insight ... or might not. ;) You can use the Subscribe option in the title bar
