With life having been on pause for a while, the Watford Palace Theatre Palace Young Company devised a show with music, comedy, and lockdown stories, exploring themes of love & isolation, joy & celebration. If only that little buffer wheel would stop spinning round and round…
On stage at the first ever The Stage In the Park festival, this show includes the launch of “Buffergram” a brand new digital platform for young creatives.
The show’s storyline followed an arc from initial panic felt during the first lockdown and staying at home, to the repetitive media circus we were all trapped within, to the eventual spark of joy when we were all allowed to spend time together again. These feelings were reflected in the costumes throughout – at the start the clothing was comfortable but devoid of any colour or sense of purpose, other than clothing our characters, which transformed in the eventual big reveal of bright, sparkling, whirlwind of colours that represented the rejoicing in reconnection and the togetherness we could finally experience again in real life.
