At The Interval

This post is about ice cream, the enjoyment of which, everyone will agree, is probably the most important feature of theatre-going. Some complaints about theatre ice creams are obvious. They’re too small and they’re too expensive. There is, however, a further problem. They are often too cold and rock hard. They seem to have been taken out of an industrial deep freeze just seconds before being put on sale. Chipping away at this rock face in order to get a sliver of ice cream on the spoon is not the best way to enjoy this treat. So, front of house staff, please take the ice creams out of the freezer in good time so that they are smooth and lovely when the interval begins.
