#52 Travelogue UK: Feminist theatre

Time moves so fast that nowadays movies are becoming a thing of the past – who can spend 1.5 hours away from their smartphone after all? Theatre is even older, and London has a long tradition.

Upon a friend’s recommendation I went to see the play “Paradise”. Let me share some impressions:

The Plot
The story of the play was set on some imaginary island that people couldn’t get away from. This was somehow mixed with Ancient Greek mythology in mysterious ways. Curiously, one of the roles had a Cockney accent.

The Performers
The play was written by a feminist lesbian playwright and performed exclusively by women, including the male roles.

The Audience
Most of the spectators were leftist liberal intellectuals. You could tell by the way they dress and style themselves and by their great respect for covid restrictions.

The Cost
Only £20 – that’s 300,000 soum. A real bargain!
