When reading that we were required to see a fringe show, I felt like a bad theatre lover. I did not know what in the world fringe was but a quick google search explained it. Fringe theatre is theatre that is not on the West End and is smaller in scale, not in one of …

I wasn’t Westminster Crabbey
I really enjoyed my visit to Hampton Court Palace, a magnificent royal palace in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. This palace was home to many English kings and queens. I don’t know much at all about the kings and queens of England but I have seen Six so I knew a lot more …
Hampton Court Palace
Traveling to Hampton court Palace ew got to experience the vast historical site full of museums, artifacts, and beautiful works of art. Hampton court palace was a beautiful area full of intricate gardens and what would feel like unlimited rooms for every purpose. Unfortunately there were several school groups also touring the grounds so many …
Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court Place was such a beautiful place and such a nice experience. It was a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of London. Even just walking into the grounds, where there was a beautiful field of flowers was so enjoyable. That flower garden was one of the most beautiful to me—I think the …
What a Lovely Palace You’ve Got, Hampton!
When it comes to Hampton Court Palace, I was not expecting much. I had heard of Westminster Abbey before and while that was neat, it was not at all what I thought it was. I had never even heard of Hampton Court Palace, so I had no idea what to expect. Little did I know, …

Life at the Hamptons
I think to live there at the time would be awesome, because who wouldn’t love to live in a palace, but it felt cold and lonely to me. I just wonder how much liberty even the monarchs had at the time to decorate and make these spaces their own. If I had my own apartment …
Long Day’s Long Play
Today we went to see Long Day’s Journey into Night. It was a beautiful play that shows the horror of addiction and strife it can bring to a family, along with other societal issues. This play was hard to watch. The Mother portrayed addiction and the mental state of self hatred and deflection amazingly well. …
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 …
11. I almost had to become a duck in the Hampton Court Gardens
Three blog posts in two days?? Don’t mind if I do… I know you certainly won’t. Creeps. We set off bright and early this morning for Hampton Court Palace on our second train ride of the trip! I did a crossword the entire way there and still never finished it and probably never will (because …

Living Up To The Name (Not In A Good Way)
Long Day’s Journey Into Night is a very interesting play. Written by Eugene O’Neill and loosely based on his own life, it follows a day in the life of the Tyrone family, and all the arguments and misfortune that befall them. The play lends itself to a more serious and dramatic tone than the kind …
