When I was about 15 a friend and I got really into the theatre, for some reason. I think we felt terribly grown up, swanning round with our interval drinks, etc,but it was fun, and we saw a lot. Then in my year out before uni I worked as stage crew/electrician/carpenter in a few local theatres, and very nearly chose that as a career.
I haven't been for ages - we have now moved quite near a really good rep theatre, and really want to start going again. Have seen some cracking productions, and wondered if anyone else had favourites?
In particular I loved a production of The Crucible in the Royal Exchange, Manchester, in about 1988-9 - really compelling - great play, obv, but the theatre in the round setting made it really claustrophobic and unnerving.
Any other favourites?
