Where are you David Meadows???
I have been turning first to this page every day in eager anticipation of your review of Camino Real at WAAPA - a week has gone by & not a sign - did you like it? hate it?
Did your Mum like it?
I didn't get a chance to see it, so would really like to know what you thought.
Yrs in anticipation, BarbZ

"Camino Real"? It woz reellee gud.

But seriously folks, mum couldn't make it, and I went on my own, and all I can really say is that I flatter myself into thinking I actually "got" the play.

I didn't like the set design... it added absolutely nothing to the mood or themes (as I percieved them, anyway) of the play.

Performances ranged fom irritating (Kilroy the patsy), through adequate (the German with the counting fetish), to decent (Casanova, Byron).

And I might be alone in thinking it would have worked to much greater advantage in the studio space, rather than the main theatre.
