so i always thought theatre was a wee bit gay. i used to hang out with
this sugar from varsity and she used to drag me to her Wits 3rd year
productions,and boy would i have rather chewed broken glass,and so
trauma set in just like gangreen would have to a wounded soldier,and i
was tainted never to step into a theatre so much as to use the hands
free flush urinals.....but then i arrived on a wee island called GREat
britain and and 'we will rock you' was showing.the band queen provided
the music,ben elton,the production. my work's exit,enter barbican tube
station,exit tottenham court road station, the search for cheap
munchies from Tesco,and a 23 quid ticket into the dominion
theatre-uber small,uber intimate,an upper tier front row seat--as a
kid one would wanna spit down to the bottom to see how fast it would
drop,strangley i wished to do it again,cigarette stompy burnt red
carpets,antiquey decor with those little side terraces for the uber
cool folk, and hands free flush urinals-only problem,i had to touch
the taps to turn them on,but thats for another day.sweet mary
jane,this show ripped my heart out,and oh what a joy it was,filled it
with vanilla custard and returned it to my limp body. as manly and
hairy a lad i am,this show brought me to shed a wee tear,it made me
sing along to 'fat bottom girls'and i enjoyed it,it made me shout out
'RockNRoll',it made me feel like a kid of the 70s,even though i am
one. im a big fan of rocknroll,of the culture the dress,and this
little show expressed it all,man alive.the sets were absolutely
glorious,from massive screens,to swivel platforms and some seriously
groovy guitar playing geeks in the background,the cast was like my
moms spaghetti bolognaise...i just wanted to munch it.
i do believe this world is a far lesser place now that the great
freddie mercury has perished,may his music live on.
so dont be gay go to the theatre,however avoid student productions
even if its for something else youre after.
by the way,apparently there are vast amounts of oestrogen in the water
here,did somebody mentioned web feet.
keep it real
