In my case it was very nearly a year ago. A contemporary opera, which I had my doubts about - having only seen one about 30 years back and finding it immensely dull (I should have twigged since they were handing out free tickets: the only reason I went. However this one was actually pretty good: Violet by Tom Could and Alice Birch - a metaphor on climate change with a great concept and some memorable performances.
It was part of a festival, and I also saw a couple of comedy shows in the fringe, both needing a deal of work before they would be going much further.
I was surprised to realise how long back these were. There was a time when I would expect to get to some type of stage performance at least every few months or so. However, I live in a fairly rural situation now, and it doesn’t happen so often.
How about you?
I don’t go very often, but I should see more! Usually I see musicals, but the last thing I saw on a stage was actually a Shakespeare play a few years ago. I was visiting London for the first time and saw As You Like It at Shakespeare’s Globe. (That performance was also really cool because the actress who played Celia was Deaf and signed her lines, and the actress who played Rosalind acted as her interpreter, and both spoke and signed her own lines.)
