What fascinates me? Well there are many many things! But the one I am going to talk about tonight is the Theatre! Mostly because I just got home from an amazing production ("Charged" in Soho Theatre - highly recommended) and partly because it is true, the Theatre fascinates me! Why is this? Well, are so many different types of theatres, so many varieties and people in it. You can always go and see something with expectations, and most of the time you will be surprised. There is so much to enjoy about the theatre and something much more personal and touching than just sitting in front of a television or in the cinema. (Sorry about the stream of conciousness but the best way to put across a sense of fascination is to just write and not worry about what you are writing). You can enjoy the Theatre with other people, or even go alone (not that I have, this is something I have yet to do!). You don't even have to go to a theatre to see theatre, you can walk down the street and BAM, theatre can hit you right in the face. You could go down into a dungeon or even (ha!) a boathouse and create or envision theatre. Theatre talks to people; it can be used to make a change in people or make people see things in a different way. There is always new theatre and ways to make it different, and yet theatre is one of the most ancient art forms or even forms of entertainment! 
I'm not going to bore you any longer with me blabbing on about how wonderful theatre is. Go see it for yourself! Theatre is everywhere, just take a look. Read this blog and then think, to hell with it! I'm going to book and go to the theatre, because it is amazing and you will enjoy it! Okay so there is some arty farty crap out there... but take a gamble, see something different and be inspired.
:) You should start another blog which is reviews of plays you have seen. That way when you get interviewed for a job in the theatre you can say "Ooh I've got a blog..."
ReplyDeleteThats not actually a bad idea! May start that when I finish this! :)
