Superb Children's Theatre

Who can't love time in London? Ross and I have always loved short breaks here ever since we lived in Kuala Lumpur and found the beauty of a direct flight that wasn't the epic trip that it usually is from "down under". Sadly for us, this part of our Christmas holiday is far too short and has merely been jammed in between a trip from Belgium to the Netherlands (yes, a roundabout way, but fun nevertheless).

Following arriving into London via the Chunnel directly into a full underground strike (thank goodness we had prepared for it), we have enjoyed some full on time! The little madam has finally had her eyesight tested and confirmed that she has a moderate eyesight problem (I hadn't believed it!) so we scored a good optometrist in Oxford St but sadly due to her small head size she only had four frames to choose from! There was no way she was wearing the baby/preschooler frames. Thankfully all was sorted out so that she had optimal vision for the afternoon stage play: The Prince and the Pauper at the Unicorn Theatre.

What an absolute joy it is to be able to go to these productions as an adult. It is not easy to pop off to a specialist kids theatre without a kid in tow (hence I took the child!) and WOW! This production was superb. It was an accurate adaptation of Mark Twain's story of young Edward VI. Yes, madam Tudor specialist could identify all the key characters and it took some convincing her that it was not a true story!
