You are obviously far more part of the theatre world than me! I'm definitely just a casual observer. I really enjoyed reading your blog.<br /><br />@Anonymous - true, hadn't thought about the difficulties of lighting a black cat, but still a shame that an iconic image should be changed.Grazing Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564844831141016441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548083804110806782.post-52110443069337910362011-11-28T10:33:49.369+00:002011-11-28T10:33:49.369+00:00On a side note, it can be really difficult to ligh...On a side note, it can be really difficult to light a completely black puppet on stage - so that might explain the colouring of the cat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548083804110806782.post-64652312848708013912011-11-24T18:15:13.620+00:002011-11-24T18:15:13.620+00:00Hello,

I hadn't read it before watching the production.

The first half was a curates egg; in general I enjoyed it but the amount of prompting was annoying. Well done to A.V. for securing the production in Plymouth, but why should we pay full fare & see a rehearsal?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548083804110806782.post-29742169678297347022011-11-23T09:46:37.461+00:002011-11-23T09:46:37.461+00:00I was quite shocked to hear that it started half a...I was quite shocked to hear that it started half an hour late on Thursday night. Not good. We had travelled almost an hour to get there so we would have been pretty annoyed if that had happened. I did enjoy the first half and it really held my attention, but the second half was a bit indulgent, so you saw the 'better half'. <br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to comment. Interesting to hear that saturday was a 'better' night.Grazing Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564844831141016441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548083804110806782.post-71989052664733254312011-11-22T18:00:26.746+00:002011-11-22T18:00:26.746+00:00Interesting review.

Play started half an hour late, apparently due to a "technical problem," and we felt that the first part was definitely tedious in places, despite the often frenzied activity. Had to miss the second part, due to the lateness and a commitment the next day. Agree about the cat and the lack of programmes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
