This should possibly go in the 'Theatre Reviews' section, but I can't actually bring myself to write a review about what I saw tonight. It was, in all probability, the single worst piece of theatre I've ever seen. The writing, characters, production, directing, and acting were all atrocious. I actually enjoyed myself immensely, but for all the wrong reasons. Also it helped a fair bit that I was fairly well inebriated.

I don't have the heart to mention any details. But it's certainly made me feel more tolerant to a lot of other shows with only half the talent.

A tale is told of an amateur bearded cove,
Who fled in horror from HarbourÂ’s Ackbourne episode.
Rumour has it the actorÂ’s now been told
HeÂ’s no longer welcome in that theatreÂ’s fold.

Of course, heÂ’s far too busy fending off Mr Plod
And achieving fame and notoriety as a marketing sod
He swears heÂ’s still welcome at Stirling Players and the Old Mill
And says that Black Yak and Vagabond bear no sign of ill will

Although he was shaken and toyed with leaving the stage
His nerves have now steadied, heÂ’s forgotten the divaÂ’s rage
So although heÂ’s been cast as unreliable and unfit
HeÂ’ll shortly start auditioning wherever heÂ’s welcome to sit.
