Theme 122.
As I went to the Post Office, I saw a group of people in these brown shirts, but I wasn't sure what they were doing, so I went in to post my parcel and then stopped to watch them when I came out (just before I moved on and saw the "Forgotten" theme).
They then put on a short performance of their show - they are the Chickenshed theatre group from London, and the show was "As the mother of a brown boy...". It's a mix of dance, physical theatre music and multimedia, according to the leaflet they gave me. I think it was awarded the "Freedom of Expression Award" by Amnesty International, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last year. Tickets were only £10, but as I can't drive, I couldn't get home afterwards.
They seemed a cool group - and pretty diverse. Male, female, black, white, and a even guy with Down's Syndrome (who did a great job)- I loved seeing them dance, and they must have all put a lot of work into the show.
(It's now as crisp and sharp as I'd have liked, but they were moving and dancing and it was hard to keep them in view sometimes!)

Super shot, Helen.
The red sunglasses are great as is the image Helen. Very alive image with his facial expression.
I love how the red stands out against all the earth-tones. No denying the theme here!
