Our fringe show was about 10 pounds which is about 15 in U.S. dollars. When we walked into the theatre it couldn’t have been more than 120 people in there, if not less. The theater was at the back of a church and smelled sooo much like a church. We were definitely the youngest people …

Definitely Not West End…
For my fringe play show, I chose to see The Lady in the Van at the Bear Pit Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon. I went to this show with Cate, Cailyn, Belle, and Lauren, and it was super close to our little bed-and-breakfast. It was about a 5-minute walk and cost about $15 USD. Not bad, right? …
Stratford-upon-Avon: Bye London bathrooms.
We only spent about two days in Stratford-upon-Avon, but I think it was a necessary change. I think that a lot of people ended up feeling really tired and homesick towards the end of the time in London, so a change of scenery probably helped out a lot of people, me included. The biggest difference …

They Have More Willpower Than Me…
Standing in Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre replica was such an experience. I did not realize how much I hate standing up. I hate it. A lot. Despite my being lazy and not wanting to stand for two hours, both plays were incredible. Though when you go next year, I highly recommend you stay away from a …
Kanye West(minster Abbey)
I have no clue what the title means. I just kind of wrote it down. Anyway, I loved Westminster Abbey. When I went to London two years ago, I did not get the chance to see it, so I am so happy this was on our travel plan! When I initially walked in, I just …
I Sat With Kailee….
Mother Courage seems to be a crowd favorite on this trip. I agree, I think it was beautifully put together and a great show, at least the part I watched. After the intermission fiasco, poor Kailee, I volunteered to sit with her in the seats. I do not know what happened, but I did start …
Sorry for dissing, Mother!
I think the fact that we saw Mother Courage and Her Children being performed at Shakespeare’s Globe Theater helped me, as an audience member, become more immersed and engaged in the performance and its characters. After watching Mother Courage and Her Children, I honestly would have never known that Bertolt Brecht had tactics to try …
Fringe More Like Fall Asleep (Shawn, this is not a joke)
My fringe play was The Lady in the Van. Oh boy. It was something. I think this was probably the worst play I have seen on this trip. I am not usually one to hate on any form of theatre, but I genuinely could not stay awake for this show, and I drank a RedBull …

Two Plays About Being Gay
This trip has been full of theatre. Some shows I loved and some not so much, but I’ve enjoyed getting to experience all of it. A lot of the shows that I have seen on this trip have been heavily commercialized and would be considered either West End or Off West End. There is another …
THEATRE IN LON-DONE
I loved Stratford-upon-Avon! Going from the busy streets of London with having to constantly dodge crowds of people and getting airported every ten seconds by someone who’s never walked before to the calmer, open streets of Straford was a large change, but an enjoyable one. I love the small-ness of Straford, even with some local …
