This week I sat through one of the very worst shows I have ever seen.

The Pied Piper, at Radlett Arts Centre, was so bad I complained to the Front of House Manager afterwards, something I have never done before in my life.

Everything about the show was terrible - the acting, the set, props, songs, costumes and script. I've complained directly to the theatre company responsible too.

But what made me cross was that this was a show for children. Many of the audience might never have been to the theatre before. To present such rubbish as an introduction to one of our country's major cultural experiences is quite disgraceful.
