Back on the gravy train

I went along to do a review for the first time in a while last night. The Pegasus theatre were putting on a production of the Children of Lir a story which I loved every since my Dad bought me a copy as a short story. I'm a sucker for mythic story telling - witness my love of Lord of the Rings! When we got the programmes and discovered that this was an amateur troupe including players who've not done drama since school or have special needs my heart sank and when the introductory music cut off so abruptly that I thought the sound system had broken it sank further. My fears were groundless though as actually it was an excellent production, full of life and energy and some excellent acting.

And I swear that the positive review has nothing to do with the fact that we got free drinks during the interval :)
