Violet and the 10K run
Feb. 5th, 2019 08:26 pmApologies for any confusion which might have been caused by yesterday's post - it was TD (The Daughter) who ran the 10K not her long-suffering mother (me!)
TD had had a similar problem to me in finding something for us to go and see, and in the end chose Violet, which was one at the Charing Cross Theatre. By strange co-incidence, this was very close to the theatre I'd been to the previous night.
And equally strangely, this was also musical theatre, although this time there were some spoken words, along with the songs. The music was written by Jeanine Tesori the same composer who wrote the music for Caroline, or Change and the play is set in 1964 on a Greyhound bus going from North Carolina to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
It was another interesting story - Violet is travelling from her home to Tulsa, where she hopes a television preacher will heal her disfiguring facial scar. Along the way she meets various other travellers and develops a relationship with some of them.
I enjoyed it, but preferred Caroline, or Change, which had a broader plot and the music seemed to flow slightly more naturally. But both were good.
( 10K run )Before and after pics of TD on the Sunday. It was the Cancer Research 10K Winter Run - 18,500 runners through the centre of London.
