The Odyssey

I don't know how many of you actually got round to joining London Bubble's Fan Made Theatre scheme. If you haven't, it's not too late - for twenty quid you get to sit-in on rehearsals, have priority booking on shows and go to the cast party, but you don't get to have a say in this year's promenade performance any more, because it's just been decided.

It's going to be The Odyssey, which I'm delighted about, because I'd suggested something ancient and Greek, but I'd been thinking more along the lines of classical plays. The Odyssey is a much better idea - and absolutely perfect for promenade performances as it's the ultimate Journey story.

I can't wait to see it. Bubble productions are always full of exciting things to see and hear, both near to and far away from the audience (there's always mad stuff going on in the distance, which makes you feel like the play's 'world' is happening all around you.) I'm particularly loking forward to how they deal with the "meanwhile, back at home" part of the story. Perhaps Penelope can sit and knit on a truck or something...

The closest it gets to us (they don't get to be in Greenwich Park, a real shame...) is Oxleas Wood.
