So Good Night Unto A Little Place Called London. Hope To See You Again
If you were to give me a year to live in London, completely on my own and with the freedom to do anything and everything I wanted to, I would come back wishing I had more time. With how quickly these days and weeks have gone by, it’s honestly hard to believe that a month …

Fringe Theatre
For my Fringe Theatre post I will be writing about “Bluets”. “Bluets” was an incredibly unique show. There were 3 actors and they played A, B, and C. The actors each had their own stand on the stage. Bluets was more like slam poetry than a theatre show. There was a story but it was …
Hampton Court Palace
When I learned that were going to Hampton Court Palace I was interested but as a person that isn’t a fan of monarchies I wasn’t incredibly excited and while that definitely did lower my opinion just because I don’t find seeing the way royalty lived very interesting that doesn’t mean I wasn’t able to admire …
Long Day’s Journey Into Night
The production of “Long Day’s Journey into Night” at the Wyndham theatre was interesting to say the least. “Long Day’s Journey into Night” was one of the three plays we read before coming to London. The script is great and was my favorite out of the three that we had read, so I was very …
Globe Theatre
It felt incredible to see a show in the Globe Theatre. It didn’t really hit me in the gift shop, but once I walked into the actual theatre it immediately hit me just how amazing it was to be in this historic theatre. I had seen pictures so nothing surprised me about the theatre itself …
Bath

Borough Market
I had been to London before, a few years ago, and one of my favorite places when I went was Borough Market. I loved all the different food there and even went back multiple times. Visiting London again excited me because I was so happy to visit Borough Market, but said it disappointed me. The …
Victoria and Albert Museum
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 …
