We've all just been to see a most odd production of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea at the Princess Theatre in Falmouth. It was performed by The Miracle Theatre Company who are a professional touring group. It wasn't a panto or a play or any sort of coherent set of scenes or themes.
They threw sweets to the audience and did a fair bit of slapstick so there was something for the children. But they also threw in some adult jokes including one about gonorrhea and one about pornography. Then they added some "Capitalism is Bad" and "Green is Good" and some anti-EU fishing policy messages.
But the highlight was the inflatable sex-toy doll dressed in a mini-skirt with her back to the audience. Mixed messages?
