Went to the Unity Theatre (off Hope Street in Liverpool) to see 'The Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor'. We'd won family tickets as a prize in the Liverpool Cathedral Photography Competition.
This was a simple, but really clever and effective production involving a handful of actors, a few props, light and smoke effects and a some puppetry.
We all thoroughly enjoyed it. The boys were on the edge of their seats as we watched Sinbad and his crew get swallowed by a giant whale, outwit a terrible giant, fight with the Roc (giant bird) and it's hatchling, summon the Genie of the Ring, sword fight and ride on a flying carpet. All taking place non-digitally right in front of our eyes.
When a magic word opened the door to a treasure trove Samwise caused some laughter when he exclaimed "That's not treasure, it's a smoke machine!". He still voted the play 'best thing ever' in the taxi on the way home.
