It appears that I like to spend the 5th of May in Bath, for example on this day Before The Lockdown:
At the Theatre Royal Bath to see Rent for the third, and so far final, time.
This was mostly a new cast and the key character was played by, then hot TV property, Adam Rickitt coming straight from the famous cobbles of Coronation Street.
There are good songs throughout and some powerful and affecting scenes but these don't necessarily feature the lead character. Having a popularly recognisable name on the poster is great for getting people into the theatre, they're not always the best actors in the cast. So, as with Joe McFadden in the earlier London production,Adam was fine and did a perfectly respectable job but it was scenes with the other characters that you remember.
Interesting side note; one of the swings on this production was Daniel Boys in, I believe, his first professional role. I've seen him again perhaps only twice but he is now one of our busiest and most reliable musical stage actors.
The imbalance of power and, more importantly, the presumption of having it, was at the heart of In A Garden, which I saw at the Ustinov Studio.
An up-and-coming American architect is contracted to create a dream garden space for a minister in a middle east dictatorship.
The balance of power between the two men mirrored the power balance between their respective countries and although, to be honest, I don't recall how it ended, I don't believe the mighty all-conquering dollar came out of it very well.
Once again at the Theatre Royal Bath for Brideshead Revisited.
Watching aristocratic soul-searching can be entertaining and sometimes even help us understand what was (still is?) wrong with our country but it is, at the end of the day little more than a trifling diversion.
As entertaining and capable production as this was, beautiful young men endure the slings and arrows of outrageous privilege and familial expectation, it didn't tell me anything new or useful.
