I went to the campus theatre again last night. Contemporary arts students certainly have strange imaginations. This time I saw ‘the McShow.com’, a comment on commercialisation and globalisation. However, the message of the piece was not as clear as it had been with ‘the art of corruption’: I found it a far more vague piece, where the actors said seemingly random things.

There were, however, a couple of very good performances: Maria portrayed her pregnant, loud scally girl to perfection (‘If we do it again I can have twins, yeah?’) and Pete played a very good wise man, who seemed lost in this collection of misfits.

Maria: I’m bleeding now! Pete: then we have a situation

Maria: what situation?

Pete: situation is, baby is coming.

Trust me, it was very funny. However, I must note that one guy was portraying a ‘junkie’, but this junkie seemed like he had CP. Many of his movements were highly reminiscent of someone with cerebral palsy, most notably the way in which he held his hands was very CP-esque. While this did not offend me per se, I have to raise an eyebrow over the confusion between junkies and people with CP; I am sure this could not have been a coincidence.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself very much last night, and have been invited to tonight’s wrap party. It promises to be one hell of a night; I just hope I can get up in the morning.
