Victorian Wild Man

Miranda with victorian wildman
Here I am last night with a wild man from the Victorian era. As you can see I am wearing a lovely satin frilly blouse and a nice button bag. The Wild Man wears a loin cloth, a furry face and a tusk through his nose - He wins my indie dresser of the week award.

Promenade production

Last night we saw Soutterrain at Stanmer Park as part of the Brighton festival. It was the story of Orpheus and Euridice done as a promenade production, which means you wander round following the performers. We took our sons (10 and 8) and it was a wonderful spring evening. The set, the weather and a horse stole the show and a great little band, that we all followed, like music out of The Wicker Man. All the way around my youngest son kept asking loudly what was happening, and as we left the underworld  (a big barn) I said "look at the moon" which was enormous with a rainbow coloured aura and he asked "Is it real?" If not it was the best prop I'd ever seen!
