A very popular thing here is panto theatre productions - pantomime theatre which is a brittish traditional holiday christmas musical. Marc and I went to see Jack and the Beanstalk at the king's theatre, with famous comedians Grant Stott, Andy Gray, and Allan Stewart starring. It was great fun; the leads frequently improvised, giggled and broke character which made it more fun for the audience. The set was beautiful, with very fancy tech like a robotic giant. They dedicated entire numbers to making fun of Glee or the prime minister.
Marc of course enjoyed the more techinical aspects of the theatre...I guess they did some cool stuff with the scrim, and marc was doubtful of there fly system (though it seemed to pull off well). From the tech-y side of things, Marc seemed impressed to.
