Tuesday - The Globe and Coram Boy
So. Best day ever.
I left the house sort of early because I wanted to be able to be leisurely about getting to the south bank of the Thames where the Globe is. It was, quite simply, an amazing experience. Especially when we got to go stand up on the stage, and now we get to see a production there in March. It's an extra thing and is going to cost us a few pounds, but the program is covering part of it, which is okay with me. :)
I took the tube to Blackfriars and walked across the Blackfriars bridge, which took me to one side of the Tate Modern which is right next to the Globe. This is, of course, the Thames at low tide and the supports of the old Blackfriars bridge.
This is one of many life preservers lining the bridge, telling me how to save a life. Har har.
I don't know what this little group of schoolchildren was doing, but they began reciting stuff that must have been some sort of Shakespeare and then were falling over. It was really cute. XD
I found myself thinking about what kind of columns those were, and then I practically cried because come on.
Those last two are views from the Millenium footbridge. And our tourguide was pretty hot, so we were all pretty okay withthat.
Coram Boy was... the single most amazing theatre experience I've ever had. I'm going back on Friday night at my own expense not because I want to, but I need to. This is a full on need to go see it again before it closes (National Theatre is a revolving rep, plays will be on for only a few weeks at a time.) I am very excited because it's coming to Broadway in the spring, despite the fact that I live nowhere near Broadway. It deserves it. I hope it's very well received and that many many people feel as strongly about this play as I do.
I have never just. Oh god. You guys saw what I meant. I have no idea how I'm supposed to moderate discussion on this show, because nothing I feel for it is moderate, or even rational.
I'm going to write the cast and crew a thank you note and tell them exactly what I wrote here yesterday. If it were me as them, I would love hearing it. Not that I'm egotistical enough to think anything I would do would be this amazing.
