Enlarge for best view, if you have time. Thank you.
For the last years it has become a habit with my family to go and see one of the pantomimes that are created and shown during the Christmas festive period. This year the MADC produced a pantomime which they called Treasure Island but which has nothing to do with the story of the famous book. Of course I took the camera along and sneaked some shots even though Ian said photography is not allowed in there – there was nothing written that this was so, however.
Here are a few of the shots I took. It was a bit difficult to get clear pictures because of the continues movement and dancing of the actors.
Joke: A man walks into a pet store and says, "I'm playing Long John Silver in the play Treasure Island, and I'm looking for a parrot. Can you sell me one?" The pet store owner says, "You don't want a real parrot, it'll squawk all the time and poop on your shoulder, and what if it falls off during the play?" The man says, "Well, I want to be as realistic as possible." The pet store owner says, "I've got a stuffed parrot you can use. Can you pick it up on Thursday?"
"Oh, I can't come on Thursday. That's when I'm getting my leg cut off."
Thank you very much for looking and for all the wonderful comments, the fav's and for putting another of my shots on pp and tp.
