The other day as I wandered past the Aldwych Theatre, home to the Dirty Dancing musical, on my daily travels from Waterloo to Holborn, I encountered an unusual sight. Over a hundred people queueing outside the theatre doors holding watermelons! I had in fact heard the promotion myself on the radio the previous day, 'show up to the Aldwych before 10am with a watermelon and get a pair of free tickets to see Dirty Dancing'. Stupidly I failed to make the connection that I walked past the very spot every morning, and alas...there were no watermelon-purchasing opportunities in sight. What really impressed me was the 'watermelon man' outside the theatre, carving magnificent scultpures and pieces of art...you guessed it...from watermelons!
