  • Theatre 2017
    THEATRE 2017 February 2017: TOUCHED This play from the Nottingham Playhouse is set in 1945 which supposedly was a time of peace, albeit a shaky one. It covers the hundred days from Victory-in-Europe (8th May) to Victory-in-Japan Day (15th Aug). Touched focuses on the working class lives of three sisters, two played by well-known actors from our TV screens, Vicky McClure and Aisling Loftus, who also come from Nottingham. As always the Playhouse manages to produce a creative set and some clever scene changes. The play has a slow start and not until the interval does the story gain momentum and starts to retain our interest. Talking to some of our U3A play goers, people were frustrated by the problem with projection - no sound bar to help us out ! The background sound - songs of the period, Churchill's announcements, Richard Dimbleby's Liberation of Belsen report etc. is full of interest and pulls events together. Luckily for us the second half improves and we gain an insight into the lives of these women and the problems they had to deal with when men were away at war. The final scene sends a poignant message. The women with their families and neighbours are at a picnic on the hillside, with a single tree in full bloom. Then an explosion symbolises a bomb being dropped on Hiroshima, the petals disappear leaving a bleak landscape, but for these women, their lives continue. Basia Arch March 2017: MADAME BUTTERFLY Twenty four members went along to the cinema on the evening of 30 March to watch a live performance of the well-known Puccini opera Madame Butterfly.
