Observations
-
The production featured a lot of busy creative detail and business – for example carrots descending on parachutes from the flies, and a prop ham labelled “The Royal Bacon Company”.
On the night that we attended, a lady in the third row of the stalls stood up midway through a scene and started shouting “This is a terrible production. You should all be ashamed of yourselves!”
In the hiatus which followed, Alan Bates, who was playing Petruchio, walked to the front of the stage, beckoned the woman to him, and then in a loud stage whisper told her to f**k off, to a standing ovation from the audience.
