The play is still the thing
LIVE theatre is back—up to a point. I worked out that I had gone 24 weeks without seeing a play on stage—easily the longest period of my adult life—and so I set out for the Bridge Theatre earlier this month with a spring in my step.
I relished the chance to see Sir David Hare’s Beat The Devil, one of a number of solo plays (including a batch of Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads monologues) currently being performed at the Bridge. I found the whole occasion strangely uplifting in these peculiar times. Obviously the ritual of theatre-going has changed.
