superhero wrote:I was going to recommend the play, The Queen of Leanne at the Young Vic, shamed it finished last Saturday. It was oh so funny, touching and shocking and all very believable, better than anything I've seen in the cinema for a long while. If it comes back on, go grab a ticket, you won't regret it!
But the absolute best "play" I've seen recently is You me bum bum train organised in association with the Barbican. Actually it's one of the best things I've ever seen period, theatre, cinema or concert-wise. I won't spoil the experience by telling you what it's about, it's very interactive and they do bring it back regularly. It's a theatre experience for 1 person at a time.
Thank you superhero! I now know what You Me Bum Bum Train means! I kept on passing this building in Bethnal Green with the sign You Me Bum Bum Train and couldn't work out what the hell they were trying to promote. It just sounded funny, I thought someone had sabotaged the signage on the building as I think it used to be some kind of government offices that have been empty for a while.

I'd love to catch it if it is still on, I like those type of interactive experiences, I saw Helium at the Barbican and a few years ago there was another Barbican production where we had to sit with headphones in the middle of Stratford Station and watch the performance as the rush hour crowds went by. Surreal but totally awesome experience.
