(no subject)
Last week I went to Stratford Upon Avon with my parents for a couple of nights. It was really lovely. We got there on the Sunday, which was the RSC Open Day. Because we got there in the afternoon, we missed alot of the events, but still saw somethings.
We went on the chain ferry, which crosses the river. They had RSC actors reading Sonnets as you crossed. The ferry only takes a few minutes, but it was great. Little things like that make me really happy.
There was a costume exhibition that we went to, which was quite interesting. They included all the sketches, actors' fitting sheets and fabric swatches.
The next night my mum and I went to see The Winters Tale at The Courtyard Theatre. I haven't been to the theatre for ages and really bloody loved it. The performance was excellent, though the first half was much better than the second. They used the scenery amazingly (like huge bookcases falling down scattering hundreds of books and thousands of loose pages all over the stage). We've booked tickets to see Twelfth Night in October now too.
We saw all the Shakespeare houses during the two days too. We also went to some nice pubs and a good restaurant
Anyway, other stuff has happened since obviously, but they're too boring..
