Wow. I saw Lords and Ladies by Arena last week and I thought it was really great. I was lucky to get in as it had been booked out a few times and was glad that I waited for a cancellation. The whole thing was very well put together from the costumes to the cool makeup to the music and all the scenery. The lady playing Nanny Ogg rocks and so does the dipsy blonde who was Magrat. Loved Death. It must have taken heaps of very hard work from the director and everyone else to pull off such a big show with such style and success. Everyone I know who saw the show thought it was great too. What other stuff does Arena do? I want to see more shows from these guys. They're brilliant.

I very much hope that Arena does continue to produce Terry Pratchett productions as they do it so well. I look forward to their other work as well. This production of Dr Who sounds rather interesting. But getting back to Lords and Ladies I must congratulate everyone on the show for providing myself and my partner with such an enjoyable evening out. The style of the show kept true to Mr Pratchett's enjoyable story telling skills, the pacing was excellent, the characters all rather worked together very well and the settings were very appropriate without being dominating.My partner was particularly impressed with the look of the elves and the way they were directed as they came across as quite menancing in their glamourously charming way. Well done, everyone and do hurry up with the next one! Cheers.
