Proper Ballet

Maybe I’m getting old, but I was hugely, and unexpectantly entertained by Giselle at the Edinburgh Playhouse last night. Now it wouldn’t normally be my first choice to go and see ballet, but this classical piece was captivating. Reading the programme was a must though otherwise I would not have had a clue why the beardy guy did what he did, and who was the bloke with a cloak or without a cloak…

Not being an officiando meant that it could have been the worst performance of Giselle ever, but to me it was amazing. Don’t worry dear reader, I’m off to see some comedy next week – two in one night to be exact!
