Nigel Barrett is in a sensational kid's show at the Unicorn Theatre called "The Show in Which Hopefully Nothing Happens". Yesterday afternoon Tom and I went to sit at the back. Most of the rest of the audience were school parties of, I don't know, seven- to ten-year-olds, and witnessing them get to their feet and scream at the stage was, without a doubt, one of the best experiences I've had in a theatre. Here's some of what they screamed:
"DON'T COME ON!"
"YOU ARE VERY BAD!"
"CAN'T YOU DO SOMETHING BETTER THAN THIS?!"
"WE FORGIVE YOU!"
"JUST TELL US WHAT IT IS!"
"STOP TRICKING US!"
And from another afternoon's show, which Nigel passed onto us: "YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE! YOU STAND WHERE YOU STAND!"
