Elizabeth - This was a interesting play being shown at Maloo Theater in
Darlington. A fairly well done play with very few characters, this play
revolves around Queen Elizabeth I. From the pissing horse, to the Ugly Dame,
and to the NAKED guy in Elizabeth's bed, this play gives you an oppertunity
to laugh. The skills of the actors are proven by the many line that where
needed to be memorised over two 1 hour act. This was further proven by the
last 5 or so minutes of the most complex sentences I have ever heard come
out of a persons mouth. Parts of this play did get a little tedious, and
some jokes where not that funny. The send-up of the matrix, which I believe
that the audience, which was mostly made up of the elderly and would not of
understood the send-up, did not fit in well into the play

Overal the play was ammusing to say the least, but would I see again if I
had an oppurtunity? Maybe not... But again, maybe I would...

Aww youse guys!

To be honest, I'm kind of surprised. All these people commenting on the nudity, but not one has mentioned the political sub-text.
