Breton Culture , a review

                        Victoria practising her dog act

Here in Brittany we have a lot of local theatres catering for all tastes ,except mine . So I was thrilled to get tickets to something a little unusual , a venue specialising in good old fashioned family entertainment something sadly missing in today's fast moving instant fame competitive society , so , all dressed in my best ,in fact my only suit ,circa 1980's I set off on the short journey on what I hoped would be a night to remember , I arrived promptly at 7.30 and was shown to my plush velour seat , the house was packed, standing room only , and for good reason -the first act pro-missed to be an emotional return to the stage of a much loved local midget mime artist who had sadly been badly injured in the riot that had ensued when he was spotted miming to the Marseillaise. Now a paraplegic he still had the old magic ,his attempt to mime a tall man hopping for a bus was brave and people were openly weeping , he left the stage with the audience showing solidarity by miming applause . The main act of the evening was to be a cultural extravaganza ,a genuine display of Breton throat yodelling performed by local legend madame Yvette a reformed prostitute who discovered her talent one Saturday night gagging on her eighth customer while competing in a blowathon with her sister , it is rumoured that she occasionally returns to her old profession ,for lubrication purposes only ,a slave to her art ,I must say she went down very well ! It was a truly magical evening and I managed to video the whole show and will be uploading it for your pleasure shortly .
