Metamorphosis was the play on Tuesday at the Playhouse. Well done but weird! Basically the son of the house turned into an insect and John explained the deep significance of it on the way home. Summary below and I must admit that the insect was extremely agile!
Franz Kafka’s eerie and fantastical story sees the unremarkable life of the Samsas turned upside down when their son, Gregor, emerges one morning inexplicably transformed into a monstrous insect. As revulsion turns to resentment, strange things start to happen to the Samsa family….
This hugely acclaimed and imaginative production combines jaw-dropping aerial action, a gravity-defying split level set and a mesmerising score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.
Home by 9.30 so not good value for money but it was preview night soonly £8 each. It was also press night so the front row was reserved for them - they didn't turn up and we had to sit on row C - not amused!
Shopping last night but as it was England v Switzerland at football on the TV we went to the chippy insted of out for a meal. We went to the Ceylon Spice Box in Waterloo for J's birthday last Friday - interesting food and the only Sri Lankan restauant outside London. Thought it was pricey for what we had and not as good as Shanti in Formby. The worst part was that it was really cold and every time the door opened we were in a draft!
