Theatre....of the silly sort


We enjoyed seeing Duffle Bag Theatre present Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer today. This theatre company incorporates the audience, encourages interaction and participation, and as a result is flexible with improve. As a parent it is a treat to take the kids to a play that they are asked to boo or cheer louder, clap and standup. As a child I remember my parents taking us to the theatre to see pantomines. I can go back to sitting in the seat in my fancy outfit just bursting to cheer or laugh really loudly....and I could at this performance. The kids go to the theatre fairly regularily and their theatre manners are fabulous, but its a treat to take in the performance with all of your senses.
