Traces – Theatre show transfers to the London Peacock Theatre

The Edinburgh Fringe Show TRACES has transferred to London, and is already selling out its shows. For anyone who is thinking about seeing it, or infact any physical theatre shows, I have a word of advice to you once you have booked your tickets.

There's a real temptation in this day and age to Google a show before you go and see it. The show producers of course do their best to get loads of vids and pics out there to help publicize it. I have a word of advice.

You are coming to see the show now, you have a ticket, it's all good. Watching the vids on the internet is a bit like watching a film trailer, nothing wrong in that. However, you wouldn't watch the trailer to a film just before watching the actual film, would you? That could potentially ruin some of the good bits as Martin can testify to when watching cats and dogs.

My suggestion to you is to NOT Google this show, before watching it. Internet footage of any live shows will only ever be the equivalent of a bad black and white picture version of the show - because the strength in the show is that it is real and running in front of you fresh and open to the mistakes, mishaps and changes that occur during each show.

If you would like to see Traces, I can highly recommend it. Going against everything I just said, here is a video to tempt you in.... just the one mind.
