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 …
London Tide
For a theater major I would say I’ve seen an embarrassingly small amount of theater in my life. With that small caveat, I think London Tide was perhaps the most impressive play that I’ve ever seen. With intresting choices like using the batons to imitate the movement of waves, provide scale to rooms, and even …
4. London Tide made the stage come alive. No, literally.
I see you’re back…I suppose I should say hello. Don’t think I didn’t see you following me in the streets earlier. I’m onto you, you creeps. Anyway, jokes aside–last night we saw London Tide at the Lyttleton Theatre, which is one of the theatres in the National Theatre building. Unfortunately, the picture of the free …

Towering over my expectations
As I close out my third day in London, perhaps my favorite thing, of which there are many, is the history behind every ounce of the city. So, as one might assume, the tower of London was one of my favorite things we’ve had the pleasure of seeing so far. A location that works as …

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 …
London of Tower
Today we had the pleasure of visiting the Tower of London. This was an exhibit that I experienced back in 2016 and honestly, not a lot has changed about the place itself. How could it? It’s remained unchanged for hundreds of years so I don’t know why I expected something different. I will say that …
Tower of Terror… I mean London!
Today we went to the Tower of London. There wasn’t a line or anything, which was nice because we were able to head right in. We all went and saw the crown jewels first. There was a lot more in that exhibit than I thought there would be, I was picturing just the crown and …
