"On the Shore of the Wide World" by Simon Stephens - National Theatre, London.
Life's full of the extraordinary. Full of it.
"Roy Keane, girls and the size of the galaxy: Stockport, 2004, and the boys are growing up fast. Soon they’ll be looking to escape, and it makes their parents feel old. Christopher could always rely on a kind word from his grandfather, but now he’s not so sure. And then something happens that changes family life forever."
I didn't write this copy, I copied it from the theatre's website. I am off to see the production tonight, it sounds good. Unfortunately it is raining, I wanted to squeeze a bit of skating at Southbank in before the show.

This is a really intelligent play, excellent charactors and intergration of popular culure with tradition. I laughed out loud and was moved. I really enjoyed it.

It was a wicked play, the charactor Chris was excellent. Really worth going to see. I give it the big thumbs up.
