Default Guards! Guards! in Edinburgh - 11-07-2007, 20:00
Hurrah!
At long last I have managed to get off my backside and am going to see a Discworld play on Thursday night at the Bedlam theater.
Mrs R wasn't too impressed though as she grunted a grumpy 'Aye. Ah suppose so." When asked if she wanted a ticket...poor dear though, she did just give up smoking yesterday.

Apologies if this post is in the wrong place, just want to vent a Hurrah or two*.

Hurrah (again).

Cheers

R.

* This sort of excitement is a bit sad considering I'm 37, 6'2'' and weigh in at over 19 stones.

Yay! I hope you enjoy it.

I was almost in it, but didn't see where they put the recall list until it was too late. *ooops* But I'm planning on going to see it one of these nights.

That's a good one. My brother and sister-in-law who have never read any Pratchett saw a production and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The play was excellent.

The acting was enthusiastic and all of the lines were delivered with aplomb - the actors came across as though they were having a really good time.

Got to have a special mention to Ed Sheridan who played Nobby(his ground-in grubbiness and the wonderful way in which he skulked and sidled around the stage totally made the character for me) and also to Felix Trench who played the Librarian - he was just great!

One one thing was a bit off for me and that was when Lord Vetinari gave a 'mmwwaaahahahah' type laugh a couple of times which I felt was a bit out of character - but hey it was all good.

Mrs R. and myself had thoroughly good time.

R.

Sorry - no pics.

Glad you both enjoyed it.

I'll need to check when there's a DW play near me. Edinburgh's not too far, but once you add up all the pennies - ouch. I'm saving up (meant to be for a plumber) but the DW Con is my priority.
