The Short List


So, it's getting hard to blog often just because of everything, so here's the short list:

1.Saw War Horse- gorgeous production value. Not a piece for the actors, but the puppetry was masterful.
2.Went to the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey. Fantastic places. See photos!

And we got the quintessential "be in london-get close to a royal guard" photo!

The execution block for those who died within the tower walls:

3.Saw Uncle Vanya at the Camden People's Theatre. As Merchant of Venice was mediocre, this too was mediocre. I will not be returning to that theatre again.
4.Saw Macbeth today at the Globe Theatre. It was fantastic. The best was seeing the actor playing Macbeth truly in the moment. Reacting when his crown fell in a bowl of food by licking the sauce off the crown. Had to stand for all three hours, though...that was tough.
5.Saw Ingrid Michaelson in Concert tonight. She was such a beautiful and witty performer. And when she came out for an encore, I yelled out for her to play my favorite song, and then, she did!! It was glorious! Here's a video:



Future plans:
This weekend: PARIS!! Fantastic!
