ENO / Young Vic
Punch and Judy
Well I went to Punch and Judy with enormous trepidation (and a book for the expected expansive pointless and plotless sections) following ROH's Minotaur last week. But this time I was blown away.
It was FANTASTIC from beginning to end and the best thing I've seen with an ENO label in the time I've been going there. The score was fabulously delivered (despite, tonight, us having the B conductor).
The piece combines perfectly judged horror and comedy with (unlike Minotaur) real feeling.
It was designed simply and attractively with some extremely successful elements. The acting was superb, given they were all singers primarily, particularly from Andrew Shore as a variously evil, comic, mischievous and touching lead.
Go.
