Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo at the Peacock Theatre, London
Got a couple of free tickets courtesy of our friend E. and went to see the 'Trocs' the other night. Classical ballet where all the female roles are performed by male dancers with refined irony and occasional slapstick. Very skilled male dancers, with perfect technique and a sense of humour to match.
Highly enjoyable even for ballet novices.
Even got to meet the stars of the show at the opening night after party. Surprisingly tiny when not 'en pointe', very friendly and sweet. And incredibly camp.
Performing at London's Peacock Theatre until Saturday 8 April 2006.
