draft Hogfather review
Jan. 31st, 2012 03:00 pmAlert. this is a draft. I will return to it on the weekend and finess...
The Hogfather - actually, I loved it. But it really made me think about the relationship of good/evil and ugly/beautiful, or atleast, feel uneasy about. However the whole production did a very good job of naturalising skeletons to me, which have horrified me for a very long time.
The sight of Death, a skeleton in a hooded cloak, humbly eating a biscuit, and then proffering a card with calligraphy runny from the melted snow applied and crumbled and adorned with feathers from the robin that refused to adhere to the card was endearing, and something I continue to chuckle over. And this:
"Why did you wink at me? Did you actually even have a plan?"
"Yes! my plan was to see what you were going to do."
