Half Marx

 


Did you see what I did there? It was literally half marks from us as we left at the interval. It was such a disappointment. Technically it was great; the singing was wonderful, the set was fun, the costumes were fine, everything was good, except the music, which was nice in places but didn't flow, and the plot was thin and silly. The production has had rave reviews and I can quite see why; it just wasn't our cup of tea. Seat prices being what they are these days I shall think twice before committing to anything so unknown to us again. It's not just the ticket prices but the travel, and of course all the general weather related worry about whether you will actually get away, and back, that makes the whole thing seem a bit of  an expensive drag. 

Not all bad though; we saw son no 2 who was well and enjoying his new job and I got to browse some real shops and buy a few bits and pieces. Mainly books, of which more anon.
