The last week has flown by since the our group arrived in London once again. This time we were much more comfortable exploring and getting around town, which made the experience so much better! I just love all the little areas, wonderful restaurants and incredible theatre. As revealed in the title, I went to see Spamalot (for those who do not know, it's a crazy musical based off of Monty Python and the Holy Grail). Also, our class spent an entire day at the Globe theatre for a tour, an acting class and a show. The acting class was awesome-- taught by one of the company actors. He asked for several volunteers to read a couple different scenes, and my friend Kelly and I got to perform the scene from Romeo and Juliet when they first meet. The teacher coached us a bit and then used us as an example of what a real rehearsal would look like... etc. In the afternoon we saw Merry Wives of Windsor, which was excellent. At the end of the day all I could think was how much I would love to be in another Shakespeare show! I also went to the Globe the next afternoon and saw Midsummer Night's Dream... once again, very good. The very last night of our Arts in Culture course, our whole class had a fancy dinner and attended 'The War Horse' at the National Theatre, then walked back to our hotel together. It was a great way to end the three-week course and say good-bye to everyone before we left for our fall break.
In a short concluding sentence: London is wonderful, and I love it.
So now, it is officially fall break, our group has parted ways for a bit and my mother is here with me!! We're spending several days in London together before heading over to the south of Ireland for the week. I'm not sure what kind of internet opportunities I will have over there, but I will do my best to keep up my blog. It will be a wonderful and relaxing week of B&B's, green hills, reading and sketching.
More to follow...
Lots of love!
