Lisa has taken on something new and exciting this Fall. Along with her friend, Laureen, she has been participating in the Doha Players Theatre Group. This is a group of ex-pats that perform musicals and dramas a few times each year. It has been an interesting experience.
Last week they finished performing a
Pantomime. Lisa learned that a pantomime is a British word for what we would call a "spoof" -- completely different from a mime! It is a musical theatre production that involves song, dance, and lots of audience participation. The lead female character is played by a man and the lead male character is played by a woman. Very funny! Pantos are a Christmas tradition in Britain.
This Panto was called "Space Wars" and is a spoof on the Star Wars story. Lots of Star Wars puns and interesting plot changes. Max and Simon appreciated the slapstick humour and weren't
completely embarrassed by their mom and Laureen!
