Bloggers - Real Internet Diaries

****

Blogging is no longer a new concept however Oliver Mann breaths new life into the blogosphere by adapting 10 british blogs for the stage. There were some real laugh out loud moments from the cast of five who bring to life the personal diaries of a verity of interesting characters. Although it is scary at times to think these are real people the play has a quick pace and your interest is held by character such as the agoraphobic sex line operator. The show has some amusingly explicit moments, including detailed descriptions of a bisexual business man's conquests, making the show not one for the kids.

Such passages gave the audience a good giggle however it is at the same time worrying to think this was at some time shared with the world on his blog. Surprisingly enough all the bloggers Mann requested to use material from agreed, sometimes really enthusiastically. Did they see themselves on stage when they came to see the performance? I don't know, but the characters the audience saw were definitely amusing.
