Where Art Thou Gifts? There’s no business like show business, it’s like no business I know, the worlds our stage, so bring forth World Theatre Day!World Theatre Day takes centre stage on the 27th March 2009. It was first launched in 1961 by the International Theatre Institute and is celebrated throughout the world.www.findmeagift.comEven Facebook and Twitter have each got a part in promoting this day. But before we get on with this show, allow me if you will to read an excerpt from the World Theatre Day International Message, which is read out at the beginning of the fundraisers. “...Even if one is unaware of it, human relationships are structured in a theatrical way. The use of space, body language, choice of words and voice modulation, the confrontation of ideas and passions, everything we demonstrate on the stage, we live in our lives. We are theatre!....” - Augusto Boal.So now on with the show! The scene is set; the curtains go up to reveal an online gift emporium, gleaming with gifts and gadgets and experience packages all for you to choose from. Ok, this is the part where your eyes are lighting up and you take a sharp intake of breath. Look work with me ok, you are the audience, I am the narrator, visualise with me now people!The first act begins with the Queen Vic, Bianca is still screaming Ricky and, oh, hold on, sorry, got my script upside down, start again, we set off to the West End, ah, that’s better, with a West End Theatre and Dinner Experience for Two. Oh no it doesn’t, oh yes, actually it does, (ok this is a pantomime slash theatrical production, with maybe a hint of a musical thrown in, so be warned!) Yes you will go Ga- Ga over this gift experience. This entitles two people to see a selected show, including such hits as Chicago, Les Misérables and of course We Will Rock You! Plus you get to enjoy a meal and a drink from a selection of West End Pubs.www.findmeagift.comWith all that jazz, why not upgrade to the Deluxe West End Theatre and Dinner Experience for Two. Listen to the music of the night and be spoilt with top priced seats at an assortment of London shows. Check out Cabaret, or London’s greatest love story that is Phantom of the Opera, now in its staggering 23rd year! Stomp will have them reaching for their brooms and dustbin lids as soon as they get home. Whereas Wicked (which is subject to availability) tells the incredible untold story of the Witches of Oz, having already won over 20 major international awards, it is definitely a must see. If that has left you hungry and you are salivating at just the thought then it’s just as well a sumptuous 3 course meal and drinks at a London restaurant is included. Choose from 28 restaurants that are conveniently located close to the theatre, such as Bertorelli and Planet Hollywood. Wow, I think we need an interval! The final act begins....The scene is set, you are sent on an epic tale of passion and destruction against the backdrop of a nation in the grip of revolution, whoops, sorry that’s the advertisement I was reading for Les Misérables, well easy mistake to make, what with the recession and everything! Anyway back to the scene, we are now in London; you are now caught up in the bright lights and lure of the big city. Experience not only the theatre but the spectacle that is London town! It has a kind of magic, and makes you want it all, hey don’t stop me now, cause I’m having a great time! Ok, the show must go on, and what would the ultimate gift be for a theatre aficionado? Well, a spoonful of sugar would go down very well. But what would have them really singing in the rain (I did warn you), would be a London Hotel and Theatre Break Experience for Two - Silver. Treat them to top priced seats at either the razzle and dazzle that is Chicago, or sing along with Queens We Will Rock You (don’t worry I exhausted that one).How about a classic ghost story with the Woman in Black? I don’t think they would stamp their feet in disgust at Stomp. 39 Steps is a wonderfully inventive and gripping comedy thriller “Rollicking fun” - says The Times.Or finally why not tempt them with Blood Brothers. A captivating and moving tale of twins separated at birth that grow up on the opposite sides of the track, only to meet again with tragic consequences. It has been hailed as one of the best musicals of all time.The shows are available mostly Friday evenings and most Saturday matinee performances throughout the year (subject to availability). You also get to stay in a selected 3 star superior hotel in the centre of London, with a choice of either a twin or double bedroom. A continental breakfast is included too. Which is ideal, as you can combine a show with shopping and sightseeing in London, if you so wish. The perfect end to our story wouldn’t you agree.But alas, who was the hero of our tale, well the purveyor of all that is gifty of course - findmeagift.com! And with that I bid you goodbye and farewell; I hope you enjoyed the show, please exit stage left.www.findmeagift.comIf you need any further information on any of our fantastic gifts and gadget ideas then please email us info(at)findmeagift.comRegardsJessie JonesBecause giving feels good.....
