Lucky
Yes, it's been months since I last posted in here, and I sincerely doubt anybody will be interested or even notice I'm taking a moment to write ... tons has been going on in the last few months that I should really have taken the time to post about, though vast amounts of it are things I'd rather forget (work and family stresses aren't fun for anybody to read and all I'd have been doing would have been de-stressing, anyway) - but what happened yesterday is something I don't want to forget for a very long time.
I'm very sorry I never got to meet chicklet73, but I was there for the Saturday matinee of Hamlet, with friends and family - and I am utterly blown away by how fab it was. I had seats on the back row of the circle with somebody's head in the way, but I couldn't have cared less because the show was freaking amazing.
I am so very much in love with David Tennant. Guh. And Patrick Stewart, good lord, I salute you. You had shivers running down my spine.
But David. Oh, David. You made my Shakespeare-hating mum jump to her feet to give you a standing ovation. She understood everything (having been petrified she wouldn't get a single word) and is now very much interested in the extra ticket I had to Love's Labour's Lost later in the year. Ha.
Yes, I am an unashamed fangirl. And I know I'm totally and completely biased. But I've seen Shakespeare plays before (albeit never by the RSC) and good grief, that company was freaking incredible. The production was atmospheric and spooky - funny where I hadn't expected it to be - and had me completely engrossed the whole way through, even when David wasn't on the stage.
I felt totally privileged to be there and I just had to mark it while I still remembered. I now have to find a spot on the wall for my poster!
I might come back and fill in a few details if I remember, but right now it's a bit late and I'm getting up early for work tomorrow :) ... just had to eeeeeeeee on here or burst!
