Suitably Impressed

The uni Christmas panto last night was incredible, a series of miniature satires sending up everything - Big Brother, “emo” culture, celebrities, the student who bought a bag of sand thinking it was a laptop computer - set to a twisted version of Jack and the Beanstalk.
I’m astonished that something so professional could be produced by so few people and in so little time - particularly considering the dross that passes for comedy on TV. Even the gaps when they had to rearrange thing on stage were well-filled with pre-recorded material (on TV screens) to carry on the story.
I hope the writers have the ambition (and the “illness should attend it”) to pursue writing.
