I do not like 3D animated logos. In fact, I hate them. Unfortunately, this site disagrees with me.
I do not like faux neon lights on web sites either. In fact, I hate them. Again, this site disagrees with me.
It would have been easy for me to give in at the home page but I have been to the Sonning Mill Theatre and I loved it so, although slightly deterred, I continued.
Very quickly, I was able find out where the theatre is, what is on, who is behind it all and the history of the Mill (which apparently dates back as far as the Domesday Book, although the present incarnation dates back to the late 1800s).
The virtual tour is a bit of a con. The term suggests 360 degree video so you can have a good nose around but this virtual tour is actually a gallery. On the plus side, it does give you a great idea of what to expect from an evening at the Mill which looks, and is, quite lovely.
In addition to looking lovely, the theatre is in the process of going green in a big way! And what's more they are anticipating an excess of power which they will be selling to the National Grid. Impressive.
Back to the web site and you can see a seating plan, tonnes of photos, background information and, of course, the schedule of performances albeit without online booking which I wouldn't really have expected on a web site for a small theatre.
Coming up at the theatre, we have a play called Time to Kill which, as I hail from Henley, has to be a 'must see'. According to the web site, Riverside Park Estate, which is apparently very close to Henley, reeks of affluence and the good life. Home to business executives, company directors, successful self-employed and their wives, life here is idyllic. A happy, uncomplicated existence. It would appear the only worry is where to take winter holidays. Klosters or The Bahamas? But beneath this veneer lurks a seething cauldron of resentment, jealousy and betrayal. But apparently they have too much time on their hands. Time to kill perhaps? The death of an innocent housewife rocks their world and they will not be safe in their beds until they find out who the killer is!
