Stratford was an excellent way to end this trip. While I do wish that Back to the Future was the last show I saw on this trip I did like seeing the production of As You Like It at the Royal Shakespeare Company. The show was really interesting because it was the 1970s cast coming …

The Victoria and Albert Museum (which is named after Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert,) is located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London, United Kingdom, and it is the world’s largest museum of …
Seeing Fringe Theatre
A few days ago, I went to go see the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying with the study abroad group. It was my favorite show I’ve seen so far in London! How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is a 1961 award winning Broadway musical created by Frank Loesser, and …
It Was Still the Brotherhood of Man
I think that fringe theatre is a bit ill-defined. Is a show fringe because of the intimacy of the space? How close the viewer is to the actor? Then is Punch Drunk: Sleep No More fringe? They literally touched the audience. Is a show fringe because of the budget? Is it fringe if it is …

Moshing at the Globe
I started off the day by going to the World’s End to have my first drink of beer as a 21-year-old. I turned 21 two days before we left for the trip and I haven’t really had any interest in drinking yet so I never did. The World’s End was incredible, I did not expect …

Paddington Photo Dump
The gates of Hampton court palace are very impressive. The gates are lined with statues, most notably a unicorn and a lion–two animals that do not exist. The building itself was quite impressive (as one would hope a palace would be). It had many small towers/chimneys coming out of the top of the building making …
Ryan Talks About Comics Instead of Any Paintings He Saw.
I had a very good time at the National Gallery the other day. It felt far more reasonable to enjoy the paintings at this museum than at the Tate Modern because it was clear that effort was put into every single one of them. I think that the names of each painting at the National …
