Countries apart
Friday, November 25, 2011 at 12:12PM Totally wonderful night last night with fifty of our young people at the Unicorn to see Blackberry Troutface by Laurence Wilson and 20 Stories High, a company which in lots of ways are quite similar to ours. They have a great website too.
20 Stories were kind enough after the show to do a talkback and our young people were full of questions about the work, how it was made and, in particular, how the actors in the play got to where they are. A lot of attention was on their Liverpool accents and my absolute favourite question, asked in all innocence, was "Can you do English accents as well?"
I think it says something about the trust and kindness we have in this company that getting 50 young people from Angel to London Bridge on the tube at rush hour was the easiest thing in the world. Even for one of our 12 year olds, for whom it was their first ever trip on the underground.
