Quick poll - would you take an under-11 to King Lear? Yes or no?

(beety need not reply! )

Well this is neat!

Have moved on to Bucks now, and the Wycombe Swan has Titus Andronicus ("contains scenes of a violent and sexual nature with brief moments of nudity") on March 15 and Dream ("a rare opportunity to experience Mendelssohn's magical score of incidental music in its true context") on March 19.

Hm - should I put TA in and see if anyone complains?

It gets better (or worse)!

TA is also on at "Slough?s new art space, the West Wing" and the blurb actually says - as well as "Contains scenes of a violent and sexual nature with brief moments of nudity" - "May not be suitable for children."

May not be? OMG! (Although I spose, when you think of the videos some of them apparently watch, and the games they play...but still, watching actual people doing it is a bit different, isn't it?)

I went to see the Tempest at Nottingham Playhouse when I was 9, and was glued to it - probably because Ariel wore nothing but green body paint!

I bet he/she had cunningly camouflaged knickers on really, Blu!

I was in King Lear at age 10!!

Saw lots of shakespeare as a child comedies and tragedies. Some I fidgeted through and some I was rivetedto - its down to the quality of the production I think and how its portrayed....

Not sure if that helps. Do you know anyone who's seen that production?
