We'd been given tickets for Man of La Mancha at the Capital Repertory Theater, better known as Capital Rep. From the outside it's the least attractive theatre I've ever seen - it looks like a multi-storey carpark. In fact, the theatre is kind of tucked within a parking lot (which ironically you aren't allowed to park in at night when you might conceivably be going to, I dunno, the theatre?).
Anyway, once inside, Capital Rep is a wonderful theatre space. It's small, what they call "an intimate setting", so everyone in the audience is pretty close to the stage and almost in amongst the action. Tonight's sold-out performance was excellent, with a talented and versatile cast. The Man and I will no doubt be whistling To Dream the Impossible Dream for weeks to come.
THREE birds with one wotsit ! Great story, great play and great song. Play it loud and play it long and drown out F.X coming to town
