Stratford-Upon-Avon. What an amazing little town. It’s so incredibly rich in history as it’s obviously the home town of arguably the greatest playwright of all time, William Shakespeare. And lemme tell you, there is not a shortage of Shakespeare memorabilia here. Everywhere you look, you see that man’s face. It’s practically unavoidable. The architecture of …

король Lear
King Lear has definitely been one of the more interesting shows that we’ve experienced during our time here in Great Britain. This is the first theater show that we’ve seen that was performed by unprofessional actors and the first show that I’ve ever seen in a completely different language. This show was totally in Ukrainian …
Victoria and Albert Museum
Today we had the pleasure of visiting The Victoria and Albert Museum. My mother told it was a great Museum and of course it was free so it was a given! Unfortunately, we informed that this the second year in a row where the theatre section of the theater was blocked off. What a bummer. …
Choir of Man, an example of Fringe Theater.
I was a choir kid growing up. It was something that my mother insisted that I did and originally, I didn’t want to stick with it during high school as I wanted more free time to participate in sports. Looking back at it, sticking with the choir was one of the best decisions I’ve made …

Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court Palace is a place of beauty. Filled with rich history, there were many interesting things to see in every room that I went into. I’m a sucker for really old architecture and antiques. Luckily for me, this place was one huge antique for me to marvel over! We started by taking a train …

About a year ago, I started watching a show on HBO Max called Succession. It’s about a dysfunctional family. What d you know? And who was the main character of this show? Surprise surprise, the man, the myth, the legend, Brian Cox. So when I found out that we were going to be watching a …
East Mrs. Adam (I’m so tired)
Westminster Abbey. Arguably the most infamous church in the entire world and reasonably so. This church is a spectacle to look at. The old english architecture is nothing like I’ve ever seen in a building. I’d imagine it’s what drugs would look like if it were a building, it’s that crazy to look at. I …
Much Ado About Something
Since I did my first Shakespeare show in 2023, I’ve had a love hate relationship with the material. I mean, I appreciated it for what it was. I understood it’s importance in the history of the theater and why it’s taught in class all around the world. But, I had my issues. When we did …
I Drank the Bath Water
The trip to Bath was an incredible experience. The first that I noticed when we arrived in Bath was the incredible architecture. Everything is so old and I love that aspect of it. The Abbey of Bath was incredible to gaze at. It was built in 1611 and it was one of those things, similar …
A Foodie’s Happy Place
Borough market was a very happy place for me. I am a foodie. My metabolism is my favorite part about myself. I can just eat and eat without failure. It’s awesome. So Borough Market was right up my alley. Never have I seen so much diversity at a food market before. I would estimate that …
