It is insane how fast one month in England has gone by. In that time, my perception of what theatre is and can be has been completely changed. Theatre in London has inspired me to think outside the box, which is extremely hard for me. Only recently have I started my journey as a set …

Something I’ve enjoyed the most about watching theatre in London, is seeing the magnificent costumes. How they tell a story, or tell the audience something about the characters. The costumes I have seen in most of the shows I’ve been to in London, are so impressive. When I watched Guys and Dolls at the Theatre, …
King Lear: So Much Heart & Pain
When I first found out we would be watching King Lear, I was somewhat excited. I wrote my scene analysis on this play, and in reading and analyzing it, I found that I quite enjoyed it. I was excited to see if Shakespeare’s longest, and one of the most tragic shows would actually be entertaining …
Bluets: Film??
Bluets One of the most interesting pieces of theatre I have ever seen. Bluets, currently being presented at the Royal Court Theatre, is an adaption on the book “Bluets”, written by Maggie Nelson. The book is made up of prose and poetry, all talking about the color blue. Or should I say, the obsession with …
Am I … Royalty ?
London is a bustling city, and there is adventure everywhere you turn. As much as I love being in the city, I’ve learned that I love going to the countryside. Where the air isn’t inherently filled with cigarette smoke everywhere you turn. Hampton Court Palace was exactly what I needed. I learned so much history …
a VERY LONGGGGG Journey into the Night
I don’t know how to feel about this show. I think reading the play before watching this interpretation of it, made it really underwhelming. I was excited to see this production because of how many well-known actors were in it. This play has very complicated characters, and it’s a really hard story to tell. Which …
IT’S A BURIAL SPOT??
West Minister Abby, an iconic burial spot. Apparently, I did not know that. Many of the sites that we have visited, I have heard of, but had no actual knowledge about. I thought Westminster Abbey was the Palace of Westminster, not just the church. So, to my surprise, Westminster Abby is not only a church …
Much Ado About.. THE BEST SHAKESPEARE IVE EVER SEEN
When I walked into the globe, I was so nervous. I had seen so many photos and illustrations of this space and now I was finally getting a taste of it. I cannot explain how beautiful it was to feel like I had been transported through time. It was such an inviting space, filled with …

Living my Bridgerton Dream…
We started the day with a 2-hour train ride, which was so much more comfortable compared to my airplane experience. I took the whole time to take a nap, and it blew by so fast. When we arrived at the Bath tube station, it was a breath of fresh air. There was so much more …
Borough Market: Ehhh?
Dear Diary, WHAT A DAY!! We started with the Sky Garden in the morning and saw a different view of London. It was kind of disappointing since there was not as much garden as I wished. But it was still a cool opportunity to see the city. They also had FREE COLD WATER, and so …
