Not Quite a Panto

Once the working day was done Rebecca and I rushed home to head out to the glittering streets of downtown Bristol to go and see a play at The Old Vic, specifically A Christmas Carol. This particular production had a kinda Tim Burton / steam punk vibe to it which gave it a unique identity without losing sight of the main story. I asked Rebecca if it was a panto and she assured me it wasn't, moments later they were asking the audience to get up on stage. Bless this one little girl, they picked her out to play Tiny Tim and she did a smashing job, she spent most of the second half sitting in the wings because they needed to bring her back in every now and then but she was a good sport. Really enjoyed the show though thanks to some creative staging and some visually knock out moments.

Starting to feel the Christmas spirit a bit now. First thing we did after the play ended was buy a bottle of advocaat, which as we all know, pairs beautifully with a mince pie.
