The Shows Must Go On! - By Jeeves!

One of his little known shows and I can see why. Charming, but it goes on a little long. The concept of an ad hoc play provides the backdrop for some really creative staging and props.

National Theatre - Twelfth Night

Hilarious romantic comedy, with gender disguise, deception, jesters, plotting and  misdirected love. The costumes are great and the set is very clever. Presents very well as a taped performance.

The Shows Must Go On! - Love Never Dies

I heard this sequel to the Phantom did not do well at the box office and I was a little worried it would ruin my enjoyment of the original's live story. While the score was not as memorable as the Phantom, the story was engaging and the costumes and staging were awesome.

National Theatre - Treasure Island

A charming story with a wonderful cast of endearing misfits. The narrator is very charming and the set is amazing and fun to watch as it unfolds.

National Theatre - Jane Eyre

The minimalist multifunctional set allowed the character development in this play to shine. An engrossing story of hardship, grace and survival.

Nightwood Theatre - All the Animals I Have Eaten

I was disappointed to miss the show, so was looking forward to the reading. While the set and costumes would clearly have added to the ambiance of the play, it was really about the mini stories, which held up very well in this format, no doubts thanks to a great cast.

National Theatre - One Man, Two Guvnors

Available on uTube, the streaming of this live play is a real treat, featuring James Corben, who is hilarious in the lead role. Overall, a very charming show, jam packed with laughs. It's available for one week from Apr 2 - be sure to check it out.
