Stratford-upon-Avon!!!!!! For those who don’t know, is the birthplace of the one and ONLY William Shakespeare! It was so cool to walk through a town with so much history. I made a lot of comments about how I have never been in a building this old in my life. Because, well, America is not that …

Fringe with a twinge of Fringe
We were tasked with going to see a Fringe show. This means that it is not a part of the West End Theatre scene. I went to see An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde. This was a modern adaptation production. I had bought tickets to be in the upper circle, kind of far back. They …
I’m in love with blueberries
We have been to so many markets. The very first one we went to was Seven Dials Market. There were a crazy amount of options. I had a hard time choosing what I wanted to eat. There were some places that I thought would be one thing, but it ended up being another. There was …
Am I a famous actress now?
We got to go to Shakespeare’s Globe theatre. It is an exact replica of the Globe theatre that Shakespeare’s plays were performed in in the 16th and 17th century. We saw Mother Courage and Her Children and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Both times, I was able to stand directly at the bottom of the stage. …
How do I get my portrait into the National Portrait Gallery?
There are a million different personalities within the National Portrait Gallery. I found it hard to pick just one portrait to write about. I kept finding so many. What I found really interesting was that the portraits that stood out to me for possibly writing about, turned out to be actors. Crazy! Anyways. I finally …

Maria’s not an asset to this abbey.
We had the incredible opportunity of visiting Westminster Abbey! I was in complete awe as we walked up and as I walked around the Abbey. The architecture was absolutely incredible! So much detail. And the graves were so extravagant. I need to commission someone immediately to make my grave. It’s going to take them awhile. …
Scrubby dub dub, I did not get in the tub.
We went to Bath! It has been one of my most favorite parts of my time here. I got a fun new pair of pants that I am very excited to wear! I found a pair of sunshine earrings that I have been searching for for quite some time now. But…I did not get them. …

I would argue with Brecht if he was here in front of me. Right here. Right now.
First things first…we watched a production at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre!!!! How cool is that?!?!?!?!? As we walked in, I imagined how it was to be there long long ago. Of course it’s not the original because the original burned down, but it’s severely close! And not to mention, the tickets were only £5, or $7. …

Did not feel very royal. I’d like to speak to the King.
My personal review of the Royal Haymarket’s production of Grace Pervades. As a whole, I was not very entertained. I found the show to be droning. It felt like it remained at a constant. There weren’t really any ups and downs. Nothing in the show excited me. I wasn’t impressed with the stage design. I …

Aren’t we all jesters in a way?
Within the halls of the Victoria and Albert Museum, there was a wonderful exhibit about theatre. And within this exhibit that I found absolutely interesting, there was a corner of certain fabrics hung on hooks. I crept forward with curiosity. What could all this colorful fabrics be? As I moved closer, I noticed something. They …
