I went to see the National Theatre’s
Christmas show on the preview night a couple of weeks ago. It was good fun but
I regretted not having any children with me. I don’t know, it wasn’t my cup of
tea, and maybe it’s cruel to say so but I didn’t enjoy it because I just didn’t
think the kids were good enough! Maybe they’ll get better (or are better
already!) with practicing the show but the majority of them were just not very
good at projecting their lines. I was not that far away from the stage and I
had trouble understanding what they were saying. Also, and yeah, I guess this
is cruel, I just thought all of them lacked charm. There were only two of the
child actors who I thought were charming and that I’d want to be friends with
if I was a kid.
Still though, the children in the audience
loved it and I could see how special it would feel to go there as a family for
your Christmas show.
