    Nothing makes me giggle more than a bit of lewd spanking.

    Annael


    I went into The Giant Face expecting a funny ensemble play, I came out of it  amused but confused just as much.

     

    It was a truly off the wall play. We sat there looking at one another going  “what the hell”.  The play started in complete darkness and despite my night blindness I could see. I admit I had a bit of uneasiness about how good this play was going to be. But as it progressed I found myself having a wee giggle.

     

    Today I have been trying to explain the plot of the play to some of my friends. They  look at me with puzzled faces. I shall never think of  Peter Jackson the same way again.

     

    Basically The Giant Face followed Harry McNaughton aka Gerald on Shortland Street and his journey to world-wide stardom in an Avatar-esque movie.

     

    There were a lot of pop culture references to Avatar and Heavenly Creatures that may have gone over some people’s heads but added an element of intellectual frivolity.

     

    I went with plus-two this time which was cool because it meant we had more people to laugh with, awwww.

     

    I really recommend that people get along to it, go in with few expectations and you will be thoroughly amused I think.

     

    I was surprised at how short it was but  this shows how engrossed I was in it.

     

    If you like silly voices, flight of the conchord-esque sing songs, and cross dressing then be sure to give it a crack.

     

    The lewd spanking that I refer to in the title was frequent and I loved it! Note: this was in the play, not a side activity for me whilst watching it.

     

     

     

    Ps I don’t actually know the moustached woman in the photo.
