Arcadia
One of the perks of living close to London is having the opportunity to indulge the fangirl in me *and* the theatre fan all at once. :D And thus, my interest in "Robin Hood" alerted me to the fact that Tom Stoppard's wonderful "Arcadia" was on at the Duke of York theatre, complete with Lucy Griffiths (=Marian) in a fairly minor role.
The play, in case anyone cares, was superb -- hilarious and thought-provoking and dense. Perhaps a little too dense, in fact, because there is just so much in the dialogue that it's impossible to process everything in one viewing. It'd be interesting to get the text and read it more slowly.
Unintentionally, B and I ended up outside the stage door afterwards (it turned out to be near the bathroom) and saw several of the actors leaving. B was most put out that I waited a good 10 mins before telling him that the girl who brushed past him was "Marian"! :D (B: "My brush with fame.")
