40th Eden Court Blog - Review of The Broons
Last Wednesday, I saw the performance of The Broons. And I enjoyed it very much.
Based on the weekly comic strip from the The Sunday Post, the family is of working class, with the members being: Paw, Maw, Granpaw, Hen (Henry), Daphne, Joe (Joseph), Maggie (Margaret), Horace, The Twins and The Bairn.
The play began with the family trying to get ready for a family photo (perhaps a reference to the very first comic strip, where the family attempt the same thing), only to receive the news surprising news that Maggie has just got engaged just the camera goes click. After that, the play follows the family as they get ready for the wedding, with Maw worried about the possibly that the family won't being staying close by anymore, and Hen and Daphne try to arrange a date for themselves, only to end up dating each other.
The play was a fantastic play, full of laughs and music, possibly a reference to the 80 years and changing times since the family first appeared on the 8th of March 1936. There was a reference to Oor Wullie, who appeared beside the Broons on the same day. The first reference to Wullie was when the Twins bring a bucket full of random objects (including Granpaw's false teeth), and the second reference was at the end when Wullie runs on asking where his bucket is. Oh how I enjoyed the performance.
I do hope that The Broons will keep on going entertaining us with their funny stories.
A Special Thanks to those who made The Broons appear on stage and those who performed an enjoyable play and A Very Special Thanks to R. D. Lows and Dudley D. Watkins for being The Broons into our lives.

Dramalab's New Production for December
The creative drama group at Eden Court Theatre, Dramalab, is returning to the OneTouch Theatre with a performance of Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol. First published in 1843, Dicken's novella has never gone out of printed and has been adapted to both screen and stage many times over the years, and I'm looking forward to performing this wonder Christmas story on stage.
For the previous performances, Dramalab has been using the stage where the audience is on one side of the stage. This year, Dramalab will be using a traverse stage, where the audience will be on two sides of the stage. Sounds fun.
For more information from the Eden Court website, here's a link.
I hope that you will come, see and enjoy it.

The BFG film
The Steven Spielberg film The BFG is coming to Eden Court Cinema this July.
Awake at night, Sophie the orphan sees a giant cloaked figure walking through the streets outside her orphanage, who then takes her to Giant Country. There she meets the BFG (the Big Friendly Giant), who creates dreams for children, they become fast friends. But when child-eating giants threaten other children, Sophie and the BFG must figure out a plan to save them.
Director: Steven Speilberg
Starring:
Mark Rylance The BFG
Ruby Barnhill Sophie
Running Time: 115 minutes
Links to the Eden Court website for more information and the tickets to the film:
The Main film
The Subtitled film
The Autism Friendly Screening film
The Dream and Scream Screening film
There's a link to the trailer on YouTube.
The film is coming just in time for the hundred's birthday of the author, Roald Dahl, whose book the film is based upon. Roald Dahl wrote many children books like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (that was been adapted twice, first in 1971 (with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, and considered a classic) and second in 2005 (with Jonny Depp as Willy Wonka)), James and the Giant Peech, Fantastic Mr Fox and George's Marvellous Medicine. Dahl even wrote the script for two of Ian Fleming's books, You Only Live Twice in 1967 (with Sean Connery as James Bond) and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in 1968 (starring Dick Van Dyke). A dictionary has been made explaining the words Dahl made up for his books.
Roald Dahl (1916 - 1990) was a fantastic children's book writer.
I hope that you will come, see and enjoy this story of friendship, written and directed by two fantastic storytellers.
