This evening I went to see "Diary of a Nobody" at the White Bear Theatre in Kennington Park Road.
The White Bear Theatre is quite small and located behind a pub. There's no proper stage, and seating is on two sides.
"Diary of a Nobody" had a young all male cast, with the use of hats and gowns to indicate the female parts, of which there were several. But on this evening, one of the principal characters had been suddenly called away, and so the others had to take his parts in addition to their own. Which they did it amazingly well, with lightning fast changes of costume, voice and position on stage. Only talented and experienced actors could have pulled it off. The result was a fascinating look at a world which no longer exists
Although this was my first visit to the White Bear Theatre, it definitely won't be my last.
