Losing Marbles – Or what could happen on the return journey of the Parthenon Marbles to Greece
I went yesterday evening to East 15 acting school’s play: Losing Marbles.
I’m not sure what I expected the play to be like – but it definitely wasn’t like any of the ideas I had in my mind. It was at the same time different & far better than what I had expected. As it still has one more night to show (at a different theatre) I won’t reveal the plot – but I can say that it is hilariously funny, ingeniously performed & well worth watching – whether or not you are interested in the story of the Parthenon Marbles.
As I mentioned before, there is one last chance to see it – in Colchester, Essex this Friday Night.
