The Seasons by Val Caniparoli

Music: Alexander Glazunov

This was an odd neo-classical ballet. Dryads and Satyr dance around in a loose story about the transition of the seasons. The definition component were the wavy arm motions throughout. While it's good to see new kinds of choreography, and it did work a few times, the wavy arms were overused to the point that they turned comical and we were laughing to ourselves when they reappeared.

The 39 Steps adapted by Patrick Barlow

A zany spy thriller with Pythonesque humour. Lots of fun stagecraft with a train chase, shadow play and two actors playing about a dozen characters, some in the same scene.

Doesn't amount to much, though.
