The Christmas season is upon us at school, starting with the annual Christmas Craft Fair this week. I was in charge of the craft club stall and sold nearly all of my wares.
Then today all of the 1st to 3rd Years went to see the Pantomime "Cinderella" at the Citz, and I was one of the staff that escorted them. It was great fun. It was only twenty minutes walk to the theatre and the weather was cold but sunny, so it was a pleasant journey. I have so many good memories of productions at the Citizens Theatre; it's always a bit edgy and interesting. Their take on Cinderella was excellent. It had all the traditional elements of a pantomime (Oh yes it did!) and was very amusing. When the Prince was looking for someone to dance with, the King pointed out various teachers in the audience, who the Prince then insulted e.g. "She looks as if she lives under a bridge!", which I thought was very funny. However Cinderella herself was very feisty and in the end she didn't choose the Prince, but instead followed her heart. Although I noticed that the kitchen boy that she fell in love with also turned out to be a prince (from a neighbouring country) so she was both politically correct and lucky! We all absolutely loved it.
