EATEN BY OLIVIA (10), EVIE (10), AND REBECCA (9)
The show was really funny but also really educational. It helps you think about where your food comes from and made us think a lot more about why we eat what we eat. Even though there were only two performers, I thought it was put together really well and it just kept being interesting. It’s also nice that they got people up on stage. I wish I had been picked but I couldn’t think of a good poo question to ask!
I think I was expecting a more grown-up theme but I really liked how it turned out to be fun and interesting and a bit silly too. My favourite bit was when poo was born and how the characters changed into one another all the time.
Mamuro and Lionel were fun to meet! Mamuro talked to us
before his show to explain why he made the show. We talked about what it is like to be an animal that everyone wants to eat and why we want to eat some animals more than others. Mamuro said Lionel hadn’t eaten a child yet so we created our own explorer to feed to him. We also made our own Poo- ologist expert who could help Lionel understand where his food goes in his body. It was tricky i tting Lionel into the shot as he is really tall but he was kind of l exible so we squished him in.
Thinking of the ideas and building the different sets was fun and seeing the show and meeting the actors was dei nitely the best part of the day. ■ Summerhall, until 27 Aug (not 21), 12.15pm, £8 (£6).
