We went to see the new play, Skylight, this past week. It was only after we arrived that we realized it was Reporters' Night. Naturally, the scene was abuzz and there was not an empty seat in the house nor an open space in the reception area of this small theatre.
Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy, the two leads, were superb. Although their age split was probably far wider than originally designed, the two pulled off a very convincing and heartfelt relationship while actually making a spaghetti dinner on stage!
In retrospect, there is a good chance we have overdosed on theatre while we have been here. We have already seen 11 plays and have 2 more planned. But the opportunity to see so many acting greats like Angela Lansbury, Kathleen Turner and the cast of Skylight perform in person has been just too tempting. If only we could be so passionate about going to the gym....
Our favourites:
Beth - Miss Saigon (as powerful now as it was 25 years ago!) and Bakersfield Mist
Geoff - Wicked (5th time and still loving it...)
