The Asylum

There has been a lot happening in the last few days. Indian Queens Band Week has just finished with the carnival taking place yesterday. I was at Thursday’s Fete at the Blue Anchor, but missed the carnival as I was opening an exhibition at the Wheal Martyn China Clay Country Park (more about that in a future blog).

But later yesterday, I attended Kneehigh’s performance of “Midnight’s Pumpkin” at The Asylum, near Blackwater. It was a fantastic evening.

The play is a distinctive retelling of Cinderella and the players even invite the audience to take part in parts of the Ball. Most joined in - cue lots of enjoyable but dodgy boogieing and, at the end, playing with balloons.

If you get the chance to go – do take the opportunity and enjoy. You won’t regret it!
