“Ringing out, ringing out…”
Visit number three to this most lovely of shows for me, though I’m lagging way
behind the super-fans who are surely up to double figures by now. Original review is here, taster preview post from my first viewing here, and given their
exhaustiveness, there’s really little else to add. The Light Princess really is
the loveliest of shows and its uniqueness and complexity, the very things that
turned others of, is precisely what keeps me coming back (I’ve currently got
two revisits booked in before it ends…).
The lushness of the score, tangled as
the forest that divides Sealand and Lagobel on first hearing, but richly
rewarding repeated listens; the gobsmacking consistency of Rosalie Craig’s
immensely physical performance replete with flawless vocal, the gorgeous
romanticism of the whole production – you really should book if you haven’t done
so already.
