Yes, it's very good.

(The only problem was, when I saw it I recognised one of the actors and spent the first ten minutes trying to work out where I'd seen him. Then I remembered it was at the Orange Tree Theatre where he completely stripped off. And the Orange Tree is tiny. So I was a bit distracted for a while.)

Just got back from Cantina. The fuss made about 'nudity' ... you do see a man TOTALLY naked for a couple of minutes but it's not offensive in ANY way ... without spoiling anything, it's part of a comical act. The Box Office said the show is for over 18s only, but there was a young girl in there, aged about 12. Perhaps she was toooooo young, but I dont think the show warrants 18+. I asked one of the staff inside the tent and she said 16 upwards. The 'violence' that was mentioned is interpreted through dance. It's a nice way to spend an hour. Dancing, singing, acrobatics .. it's well worth going to see. There's food and drink available outside too.

The Woman in Black (Fortune Theatre) was really good.

I managed to get some special priced tickets via Kelkoo Select. (London)


It was cleverly done. [spoiler]Not a usual big production but a change from all that, a little confusing @ first.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I was on the edge of my seat in anticipation of jumpy moments, some screams from people in the audience.[/spoiler]

Just got back from Misterman at the National Theatre: Word of warning, it's about 1.5 hours too long (which, coincidentally, is also the running time for this play with no interval and stern warnings that if you leave to go to the toilet you're not allowed back in).

Not even worth it to stare at Cillian Murphy's eyes, unfortunately.
