We went to see the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre
last night; it’s an adult comedy using sock puppets to deliver the lines. They
gave us their versions of Hamlet, Titus Andronicus, Othello and Romeo and
Juliet. The groanworthy
gags are studiously silly, and non-stop and the constantly bickering socks
digress at any opportunity they are given rather than actually do Shakespeare.
There’s some great audience interaction and they also took on the likes of Michael
Jackson . . . which I personally found
hilarious . . . and which are probably staples of the act. Too long by twenty
minutes I don’t think I would go again: you only have to get the joke once.
