11 minutes - well, more like 15 cause I couldn’t stop. I was planning to skip tonight, but I had to get down some thoughts about The Borrowers, and this still feels like it’s not enough. The staging was so good! The costuming - Mrs. Clock’s c*nty little shuttlecock hoop skirt! Pod’s matching map shirt and short set! Arriety wearing a TK lemonade label and some copy paper! Even if it hadn’t had a beautiful message about emigration, refugees and Travellers, it would have been amazing - but it did and I still kind of can’t believe it. I just went to see it because my mom and I used to read it when I was a child, but I’m so glad I did. (The dancing! The props! The pipes on these actors!!)
