Roll Tide (London version)
On the 4th night of our London trip, we had the pleasure of watching “London Tide”, an adaptation of “Our Mutual Friend” by Charles Dickens. This has been the second show we have watched at the National Theater and we had amazing seats this time around. London Tide deals with important themes in today’s world …
Tower of London
Walking through the Tower of London, I was truly impressed by the sheer amount of history and information that was being put on display. We started the tour by seeing the Crown Jewels, which were a bit underwhelming at first, until I got a look at the whole exhibit, and was in awe of the …
DONT ARREST ME GOV’NA !!
If I am completely honest, I did not think I would care too much for the Tower of London. I know, sue me! I think it came from a place of not having fully understood the historical weight and history that it holds in the city. But I am glad to announce to everyone, that …

The Perfect Forbidden Lovechild of Charles Dickens, PJ Harvey, and Ben Power
As soon as the production ended and the lights dimmed to complete darkness, this author jumped from their seat to reward London Tide with a standing ovation and applause. Tears poured from my eyes countless times as this compelling and prolific tale captured the heart and soul of Dicken’s Our Mutual Friend with a fabulous …

The Tower of London
Today we took the tube to the Tower of London and had a great time exploring the many museums and exhibits within the grounds. I had a ton of fun going through the white tower where they held the armory with the many different weapons throughout history. I’ve always loved history and medieval things so …
My New Favorite Show
I am truly, so grateful to have been granted the privilege of seeing London Tide, a play that was adapted by Charles Dickens’ Our Mutual Friend. This play was all around so impressive and truly beautiful. The themes in this show are incredible. The themes that resonated with me the most were grief, guilt of …
