Here's the revelation for today - I once danced in a production of The Nutcracker. True - I was Drosselmeyer and Clara arrived by motorcycle, brum-brumming down the central aisle, to be met by me at the stage.I wanted to ride the bike but the owner wouldn't let me.
So it was with interest whenever I read about a production of the Nutcracker being sold out.
Especially when it is choreographed by Peter Wright [of Spycatcher fame?].
By the way, I wasn't a real ballet dancer because my equipment didn't stick out far enough beneath the cling-wrap tights. The boys showed no interest in me at all, in fact.
I could ride a motorbike though.
Peter Wright of Spycatcher fame is dead..
ReplyDeleteA sold out performance was it? And pre-YouTube days no doubt? Still we can all imagine.
ReplyDeleteNo-o-o-o-o, Mutley, tell me it isn't so!!!
ReplyDeleteJMB - it was actually. People came to see how it could be destroyed.
You become more interesting every day, Jamesie!
