Theatrical treats

To the theatre three times in a week which puts me in danger of becoming a luvvie.

First to the Royal Festival Hall for The Wizard of Oz. Despite some awful reviews and a half empty house, I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it wholeheartedly.

And then up to my favourite seaside town for a weekend by the sea, taking in two Alan Ayckbourne plays at the Stephen Joseph Theatre. I've blogged these two here, they were both brill.

Not sure about seeing "Wizard", as much as the film is a total classic. Glad you enjoyed it though.

I saw "Wicked" a while back, which while enjoyable, was somewhat overrated I felt.

And incidentally I did go and see Mamma Mia (the movie) after all, and actually thought it was pretty damn entertaining!

I quite fancy seeing The Wizard Of Oz, I must admit... how do they do the whirlwind on the stage?

Clippy Mat Making at Beamish

Researching for my novel Pearl of Pit Lane I spent the day at Beamish Museum on a clippy mat workshop. And if you're wondering what a clippy mat is, it's also known as a proggy mat or a rag rug. The BBC puts it like this: Proggy mats were a common sight in working-class homes in the North East of England until the mid-20th Century. Made from old sacks and recycled fabric they were an economical option to keep feet warm and toasty in an era before fitted carpets were the norm. I remember my grandma had proggy mats in her house and I also remember her making them, but I was never interested back then in learning how to make my own. As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like. And so I booked myself on to a workshop at Beamish Museum, a place I love to visit. There were six of us on the proggy mat workshop...
