Frankenstein

---

Last year, perhaps by twist of fate, we decided to take advantage of the theatre wonderland on our London doorstep and do more than the once a year trip that we seemed to make to go see some 'culcha'. So we saw Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellen in Waiting for Godot, Romeo and Juliet at the Globe, The Cherry Orchard at the Old Vic, Madame Butterfly at the English National Opera, Eonnagatta with Sylvie Guillem and the American Ballet Theatre doing Le Corsaire at Sadlers Wells, and for good measure The Killers and 2 Many DJ's at the O2 and Brixton Academy respectively.

Here, the only bit of culture we've come across was the recent school production of Frankenstein.

Enthusiastic kids, fake blood, cheesy Rocky Horror style numbers, hands that seem to move on their own, what's not to like?

And best of all seeing talent where before it was just scruffy kids in uniform. That's the real theatre magic.
