Christmas at the Old Bull & Bush, British music hall at MetroStage ...
food ambience
Music hall is a long-standing form of popular British entertainment happily low-brow, something akin to American vaudeville and early burlesque that combines monologues, comic routines, drinking songs and silly sketches and other numbers that often get the audience to join in.
I had missed Catherine Flye’s Christmas at the Old Bull & Bush when it was a Christmas staple at the Old Vat at Arena Stage for several years.
When Tracey Stephens as Miss Florrie Ford, the proprietress of the tavern, swings around the stage with a basket fruits, slapping wrists and repeating the line, “Please don’t touch me’ plums,” you remind yourself the predators are still out there prominently in our land as well as they were in merry olde England.
The 1912-stated setting is a bit of a mash, but there is a skillful arc in devising the evening’s entertainment from the simple pleasures such as the American borrowed “Bicycle Built for Two” to the most moving part of the evening when we were literally taken into the trenches of World War I. MacDonald delivered a heartbreaking rendition about a Christmas spent in the trenches in 1914 when the British and German soldiers took a break from war and met in the no-man’s-land between where the two armies dug in.
With Peter Boyer, Albert Coia, Catherine Flye, Bob Macdonald, Brian O’Connor, Katherine Riddle, Tracey Stephens, and Joseph Walsh.
