Theatre trip 23 June 2010

This evening we returned to a favourite venue of mine - The Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester. We thoroughly enjoyed a highly entertaining performance of 'Charley's Aunt'. At some points, however, we were giggling because somebody in the audience sitting below us kept laughing very loudly and uncontrollably even when there was nothing much happening on stage. I think she must have had a personal supply of nitrous oxide!

We were rather thrown by the interval coming so soon after the start of the play, but stuck with tradition and enjoyed our overpriced ice cream nonetheless. It transpired that there were two intervals! We resisted a second ice cream though.

The upcoming events are all rather high-brow and didn't inspire much enthusiasm amongst those present tonight, so I think I'll have to look elsewhere for our next dose of theatrical entertainment.
