We trod the boards looking for the best in British culture and art
Hamlet in 90 minutes. I’ve been told that’s impressive, but since I haven’t seen any other version of Hamlet on stage I don’t have much to go by. The other half of this show’s equation is the integration of Radiohead’s album Hail to the Thief, which I also hadn’t listened to going into my viewing. …

I thought about what I wanted to write about in this blog post, and in attempting to relate my experience to theatre I went on a scavenger hunt at the Victoria and Albert Museum. I did what the character from Bluets did in several scenes when strolling the museum. Walking through museums and art galleries, …
Yo listen up, here’s a blog post about a show called Bluets by Margaret Perry and all day and all night (for 80 minutes) everything they see is just blue, like them, inside and outside. Parody lyrics aside, I was captivated by this show. This wonderful amalgamation of film and theatre is a very unique …
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 …

There are some people in my life, family and friends, who could not watch this play for the difficult topics, their lived experiences, or …
Hi! It is currently 9:40am London time and my legs are sore, my back is sore, and my brain is sore. Yesterday was a very long yet information filled day. We went to the Colonizer Muse- I mean the British Museum, and it was full of so much historical artifacts! If I had to pick …
One of the things I was most excited for was getting to experience Shakespeare’s Globe here in London. The icing on the cake is the fact that I got to experience Much Ado About Nothing, my all time favorite play of Shakespeares. I have auditioned several times now with Beatrice’s monologue and can recite it …

Two theatre shows, both alike in spectacle in fair West End where we lay our scene. From fantastic acting to minimalist design where civil words make wild choices unclean. As all of you probably know, I had the absolute pleasure and fortune of seeing Tom Holland act as Romeo in Romeo and Juliet by William …
As many of my classmates are aware, I used to listen to a podcast called “History This Week” and they would release an episode about a cool historical story that happened years ago on the week of the episode’s release. One week, the episode was about Operation Mincemeat, so when I found out that we …

Focusing on Bella Maclean, who was to be wed to a man unknown to her, is forced into grieving when he drowns. The man was …
