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.

hey was I the only one to notice how many strong female characters were in this show? i'm studying women's issues and its sure refreshing to see a theatre production with some great female characters in it played by some really talented female actors. granny,nanny,magrat and even the elf queen were all great and a lot of the supporting cast of women were really good too. that's not to say the guys weren't but shows like this and the arena company should be congratulated on what they do and encouraged to do more
