War horse

Today we went to the theatre in London and saw Warhorse. The horses and some of the animals were all huge puppets. They were lifelike and amazing.

The horses name was Joey and the main character who owned joey was Albert. Ted is his father and Rose is his mother, they both love Albert and joey. They have a farm in Devon in England and are very poor.

Then suddenly a war starts between the English and the Germans and captain nickals (leader of the army battalion in Devon) decides to get all the horses that he could get for the army leaders to ride on into war.

Joey was one of them because Ted sold it to them for 100 pounds. Albert was too young to go into war. He was only 16 and you had to be 18 to go into war so Albert said he was 18 and went into war in search of Joey.

It was so amazing how they did the puppet horses.The people must be so strong. I like all the costumes. My favourite character was a goose who whenever they open the door the goose always tried to get in.

Its a 10/10 from me for that performance.

Magic flute

 Today we went to see the magic flute. It is an Opera by Mozart. It was based on a prince who was hunting and was attacked by a serpent in the forest, and some witches came to save him and told him to go rescue a princess that was in a place were there was a evil man,and gave him a photo of the princess and he fell in love with the princess and set off to find her.

When he went to get the princess he found out that the person he thought that was evil was actually nice.

Instead of people. there were marionettes. it was really well done.  the singing was all in German so it was hard to understand sometimes what was going on but we got the general idea of it.

I liked the song that the queen of the night sings. Its the highest notes song anyone can sing.

"The Tempest" at Minack Theatre

 Today we went to Minack Theatre. Minack Theatre is a play theatre that was carved into a cliff that's overlooking the sea. We went to watch a William Shakespeare play called THE TEMPEST.

It had a lot of hard words in it but I liked it becuase there were fairies in it. The fairies came into the audience and waved to us. They also danced and sang.

There was a beautiful princess who lived by herself and she fell in love.

It was a good story
