I was just wondering if anyone saw Apocalypse Perth in Northbridge which has just started I think. I really wanted to go and see it but can't make it and wanted to know what it was like! Can someone put a review up of it? Thanks! Em

Hi Em, I did see it last night but it was actually a preview show the short man standing by the ticket counter downstairs told me so I suppose that is why they did not have any scenery ready yet or even proper costumes but nevertheless whilst I am not really a theatre goer or even aything to do with that world and not one to criticise if you do want my two cents worth I did think the girl who came out at the beginning to tell us about the play and turn our phones off was very entertaining and also the four people who were auditioning did a really good job especially considering there didn't appear to be a proper script or anything at this stage but I am not sure about the singing section and perhaps there was no need for that young actress girl who was obviously upset and crying for some reason to take her clothes off as there were young children there and if she must do that then her top and bottoms should probably match better like they do in that Burlesque show I saw recently but that's probably because there is a strict budget which is probably also why there were none of those small vegetarian pizzas or platters of sliced carrots and cucumber with avocado dip that Sally sometimes organises before shows and why there was no free cordial afterwards and why we had to pay for all that red wine as well which we drank a lot of but that's OK I suppose as it's all for a very good cause as the woman serving behind the bar so rightly said and who apparently also wants to be an actor or is it an actress and so overall when the play is finished I will be very happy to recommend it to other people as its such a brilliant idea and production by that Rice lady and her husband and should do well on the stage.
