The Mill experience

Hmm, well, it was an interesting experience..... not quite what I was expecting. I don't know why but I kind of had this vision in my head it was going to be an amazing 3 course meal in beautiful surroundings followed by an amazing theatre experience....we had got our tickets through our neighbours and hadn't quite realised this meant we would be part of a rather large group of shall we say slightly senior people. The meal turned out to be standing in the queue and a choice of three main courses. A little bit like a cross between a toby carvery and a school canteen. We were then packed like sardines onto a long skinny table with barely enough room for our legs or elbow space. Not exactly the romantic evening I had envisaged.... and you can imagine Boyfs. reaction... well, we had to laugh! The theatre itself is lovely, it's small, intimate and professional. However the play we saw, was supposed to be a thriller and to be honest it wasn't really thrilling. The first half was played by two actors it was a just too drawn out, it didn't really have the momentum of a thriller. Also, the plot was rather obvious and we pretty much guessed what the outcome was going to be. Doh! We did enjoy ourselves really but it just wasn't what we had expected!
