Super Ted

What was wrong with Super Ted? This was one of the great mysteries of my youth. The story goes that when he was made, "they" found "something wrong" with him, and threw him away like a piece of old rubbish. Then Spotty Man found him, took him to Mother Nature, brought him to life, super powers, fought evil in the form of a man rejected from Lucky Luke.

Thing is, when you watch the sequence where this is all explained, the proto-Super Ted looks just like all the other teddy bears; there's nothing wrong with him. Not on the outside. But today, the answer came to me in a blinding flash of light and pain, brought on by a conversation I had over the weekend.

Super Ted is full of razor blades.

Mystery solved!

Kaidan - it's Japanese for ghost tales (or so I understand - Nicole, fancy enlightening me further?). This short works project features theatre from over thirty young and talented directors, actors and writers. It's eerie, funny, disturbing, heart-rending and passionate... And it's going to sell out, so book in advance if you're going to come.
