For the past two Wednesdays I have been at the Kings Theatre for my cultural dose of the week. Last week I went to see 'Singing in the rain' an amateur production by the Glasgow Light Opera Club. It was a fabulous production with an amazing set. The main characters were flawless and I had a wonderful time. You couldn't help but feel good after seeing the production. There is always part of me that is a bit wary when going to see an amateur production haqving been in a few myself but I would recommend anyone to go and see the Glasgow Light Opera. I can't wait to see what they do next.
In contrast last night I was at The Guid Sisters. A re-work of a play written by French-Canadian playwright Michel Tremblay, 'Les Belles Soeurs'. This was a Glaswegian translation on the original and to be honest it was not my cup of tea. I didn't understand some of the dialect as it was very 'old school' Glasgow and some of the scenes were just not what I would consider funny but I thought the cast were really good and older members of the audience were loving it.
In all honesty I think I am more of a musical girl. People singing and dancing keeps my attention on the stage much more easily than dialogue. Wouldn't it be nice to have life be more like a musical. Bust into song to explain what you are thinking would make everyone happier...well at least that's what I think!!!
