点评:As regular visitors to shows at the Theatre by the Lake we came to the Saturday matinee performance of Jungle Book between Christmas and New Year. As expected, the performance was superb and thoroughly enjoyable.
One little wrinkle which I only mention here to help TBTL in their organisation was the pre-booking of interval ice creams which we did for the first time expecting this to speed up our service. In reality we queued at the main desk by the 'prebooked' sign along with a number of other people for around 10 mins with little sign of service. The lady behind the desk didn't appear to have sufficient stock of ice creams so had to pop out to the fridge in the foyer as well as trying to serve a second queue of people at the other side of the desk so this really didn't work as envisaged. In the end we went to the foyer sales fridge (at which the queue had gone) and swapped our pre-booked vouchers for ice-creams there - we may as well have not bothered with the pre-booking. No criticism of the lady manning the desk is intended as she was put in an impossible situation but this aspect needs some thought if it is to work effectively.

我在这里提到的一个小问题只是为了帮助 TBTL 组织他们的活动,那就是中场休息冰淇淋需要提前预订,这是我们第一次这样做,希望这样可以加快我们的服务速度。实际上,我们和其他一些人一起在“已预订”标志旁的主服务台排队约 10 分钟,却几乎没有服务迹象。服务台后面的女士似乎没有足够的冰淇淋存货,所以不得不去门厅的冰箱,同时试图为服务台另一边的第二队人提供服务,所以这真的没有像预想的那样奏效。最后,我们去了门厅销售冰箱(那里的队伍已经走了),在那里用我们预订的代金券换取了冰淇淋——我们可能也懒得提前预订了。我无意批评那位值班前台的女士,因为她处境困难,但如果要有效地开展工作,就需要对这一方面进行一些考虑。
