Swallows and Amazons



     On the 3rd of May 2012, my friend Georgia and I went to see Swallows and Amazons at the Theatre Royal Plymouth. The show involved singing and acting and it reminded slightly of when I went to see The Witches in 2006. We went with the ANLO scheme so we didn’t have to pay anything.

     As with ‘The King and I’ I found the start a bit slow and boring. The use of props was very good although some looked a bit cheap and tacky. Also- The whole thing wasn’t really aimed at my friend and I’s age group so parts which were meant to be funny we often found ourselves not laughing at. Despite this I thought it was worth going to see, especially because we got really good seat for nothing, and did start to enjoy myself- especially at the end. I really liked how they included audience participation with the cannon balls and passing the boats back through the audience (Georgia and I got to hold the Amazon for a long time). So overall it was good but not my favourite thing to go and see and I don’t think I would be willing to pay money to go and see it.


I've been seeing that I've been getting a few views on my blog, and I was wondering if people could possibly leave some comments as I need them for my arts award. Anything: small or big, is appreciated. Thank you xx
