Pantomime - Robot In The Woods
Review by famous theatre critic Algenon Cupcake - "This year's panto based on "Babes In The Wood" was a tedious affair with the lead role of Widow Twonky being played by a mechanical elephant. Even more surprising was the villian Montegue played by an actual robot that completely ruined the second act by leaking oil all over the first two rows of the stalls. No wonder half the audience left in the interval. This farcical production was devoid of comedy, pathos and any form of intelligetnt script. I suggest it had been written by a four year old with blunt crayon! This production plumbs new depths of banality and I demand my money back!"
Algernon sounds like a difficult critic to please. I think this one could run and run...well, until the batteries run out.
ReplyDeletethe phrase "a charged performance" seems apt here. lol
Deleteyou have missed your calling as a critic.....
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteThanks all. I neglected to say this is a collage from the archives. Working on one but been away to see friends in Yorkshire so it may not get finished in time!
