On thursday we had our little trip to the theater! We went to catch the train to Bolton Town Centre and goto the Octagon theater, but the train got cancelled.... Oh dear. Hearing the anouncement we dashed of back to school got some money from the finance office, walked to the closest bus stop and waited for a Public Bus going to Bolton town centre. We waited in the cold... but we had a camera to amuse us! Liz and Charlotte spent abit of time annoying Ben Woods... trying to get a picture of his face -.-' After we cought the bus and arrived in town, we made our way to the theater and strolled upto one of the balconies. I hate to admit it, but i feel that the mornings workshop wasnt what i expected. It culd have been alot better and maybe more interactive. A major problem was that we were also on a Balcony.. a high one aswell. But we then had our lunch in our own private room (because Turtoners are just that special!) and we also listened to Lucy play the piano... she was very good and it shows how multi tallented us Turtoners really are! After eating our lunch.. and feeding ben.. and worrying were on earth gabriel is and if he has got himself lost.. we searched for some boss-people in the Octagon! We asked if they would sit us below, and they said yes.. but you will have to be seperated. Luckily enough a row of five became available for me Ben, Ben, Paddy and Gabriel. And even better... it was front row seats!!! :-D This was really fortunate and the Play of "A Midsummer Nights Dream" was AMAZING and FABULOUS!!! The director had put his on spin on the play, and had set it in the 60's using very spherical art, and taking a view on the flowers as drugs. I thought that this was clever and fit in with the play well. I really do not understand the people who were critsizing it, either they were just looking for attention or couldnt understand the language used. Either way i thought that it was a very worth while trip that has inspired me and given me a vast amount of inspiration and idea's for different scenery (Is anybody else thinking giant green sticks with paper lanterns on tops with light bulbs in the middle???) :-D
