Plop!

The four of us went along to a showing of 'Plop' at the Canberra Theatre today. We weren't familiar with the children's book, which we learnt is about chocolate cake loving rabbits and a big bear but it didn't really matter as the play/show was more of an interpretation rather than an accurate retelling of the story.

The small theatre was packed with toddlers who sat on the floor around the stage. Everyone (including the adults) were captivated by the three performers and the very clever device in the ceiling of the theatre which could send apples down a shoot into a pool of water - Plop!!

Audrey was so engrossed she sat agog (with a dribble trail leading from her open mouth). Being only 4.5 months old Eli was perhaps a tadge young and cried at a couple of loud bits, and didn't really get the craziness of it all like his older sister. Nevertheless is was a 35 minute show filled with fun and excitement, and we weren't a bit scared by the terrible plop!
