The Others

I thought this performance was incredible. They managed to create a mixture of comedy and serious drama really well that I just sat there stunned. The choreography and the movement was amazing, especially the part when one of the actresses was reading a letter that looked like it was from a bird's eye view. The actor's performances were brilliant and overall i thought it was an exciting and original piece of theatre.

Under Milk Wood: Live on Air

Before I saw the show I didn't know what to expect as I had never heard of this play and had a sense that I would not enjoy the performance. However I was pleasantly surprised as I really enjoyed it. The first half was hilarious as I was constantly anticipating what the drunken sound woman would do next. Even though I found it hard to follow all the stories, I was still able to enjoy the performance as the actors were so captivating with thier use of voice that I did not care for the stories that much.

Masquerade

The choreography of thhis show was absolutlely amazing and I was extremely impressed with the skill of the performers. All of the routines seemed so perfect and fluid, my attention was constantly kept. However, I did not like the style of the masks they used for this performance as they made me feel uncomfortable, and I could see them using another style of masks that would have been more effective. My favourite part of this performance was when 2 female and 2 male perfomers did a synchronised sequence where their trust in eachother and expression was incredible.

The Nutcracker

Even though the I felt I shouldn't have been a member of that audience, I had so much fun I felt the biggest kid in that audience. The performers certainly made me laugh and when the toy war started, I was smiling and squealing like a little girl. The set was adorable, especially the set of the house which I thought was cleverly done. In general, a fantastic show that I could easily watch again!
