Love's Labour's Lost

I really need to get cracking with this blog...really sorry for the lack of updates. Last week was a nightmare, I had two papers due one day after the other, the longer one being 2500-3000 words, and the other at 1500. I don't know why they just don't tell you how many pages to write, maybe it's because the paper here is a different size - I might have started them earlier! ;)

The last place I left off was the performance of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. I thought it was hilarious! Much funnier than when reading it, that's for sure. One of the actors injured his foot in an accident a while back, and before the play started they announced that he would still be performing, though with crutches (which added a lot of comedic value, he used them to his advantage - and they were decorated! haha)! These crutches were the type that are actually closer to arm braces, they had supports for the forearm and above the elbow.

No cameras were allowed during the performance (understandable) so I took pictures before they started of the set. We were standing up the whole time (about 3 hours!) with a short break towards the end. I think we had a really awesome time standing, better than those stuffy people in the seats! :D heh heh

Luckily, the weather was perfect, so no rain fell through the open roof onto us. I wanted to go back and see it again, but the show (and the theater, for that matter) closed its season three days later, and there was no way I could get back to it before then.

The first few pictures are from the Millennium Bridge, a footbridge across the Thames River that leads to the Tate Modern Museum, Globe Theatre, and other goodies, while the other pics are the theater itself, the poster for Love's Labour's Lost and the interior.
