Capital E by double decker bus

This week we went to Wellington to the Capital E National Arts Festival, where we saw three shows. Firstly, 'Grimace' at The Downstage Theatre, was a dramatic version of mixed up fairy tales with music.
Then on to 'Passing Wind' at the Paramount- a one-man show where Linsay Pollak made and played wind instruments from all sorts of household items such as hosepipes, chairs and even a carrot!! See his carrot clarinet at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWbj7FYEi3M
The last show we saw was 'Boats' at Capital E, a story of sea tales told using simple props and recorded sounds such as a leather belt for the creaking of the boat. We loved all three shows although the first was our class favourite. What a great day, topped off by the excitement of our return trip to Wellington on a big red double decker bus!
