Night with Shakespeare
Finally on Monday 21.8.06 I met with my amiga Esther, who´s now back from her holidays from Spain. We had an Indian around her neigborhood in Bayswater with her cousin, Maite, who now in turn is here for a weeks holiday. Lot of catching up to do :)
On Wednesday 23.8.06 I worked all day at home, it seems to be picking up finally and it´s getting busier. In the evening I continued with my cultural spree; I had a ticket to a Shakespeare play at the Globe Theatre, http://www.shakespeares-globe.org/navigation/frameset.htm. It´s been built as a replicate of the original outdoor theatre where Shakespeare´s plays were originally played with men-only cast. This time there were actresses as well, which was bit of a let-down really. I saw the Comedy of Errors and must admit that it was really funny, eventhough I understood maybe half of it. The actors were really good and there was a good interaction with the audience. At some point couple of the actors lost it as someone from the audience shouted something unexpected (or it was a Spanish shouting "Spain" when the servant was listing the countries you could find in this huge lady that was chasing her... that figures :) Here are some pics:
The stage (also audience standing on the floor, like in the old days. And yes, it was raining...)
Me on the balcony (photographed by the lovely mother and daughter sitting next to me).
