The only way to make theatre: magic roundabouts!

Thank you Janette Froud: dancer, actor, performer, theatre-maker, lady-in-a-cardboard-box.

You can be, play, do, any of these parts, roles, animals, beings.

"But tonight, Janette, you are going to be: the roundabout."

I now understand the roundabouts: THE MAGIC ROUNDABOUT.

I now understand theatre and its making.

No BLUE PETER for me...
