When did you last see a stage play or performance? What was it? How often do you go? (beehaw.org)

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 saw an Ibsen play recently. I'd never seen or read any of his work before and I understand now why he was so controversial back in the day! I only really knew of him from references in BoJack Horseman, which was why I almost died with laughter when the first line of the show was, "What are you doing here?"
