Tea is good

Status: Enjoying England's crazy weather

This will have nothing to do with tea. I was just looking at my tins of Whittard and I thought, "Tea is good."

The Cherry Orchard last night was quite good. I would like to read the original version sooner or later to see what Stoppard changed, but I really enjoyed it. Ethan Hawke did not ruin it for me. He was presentable. Thank you, Ethan Hawke.
Turns out the director was Sam Mendes. I thought that was worth mentioning.
There were some bone-chilling sounds and parts to this play. I woke up this morning to the construction going on across the street and there was this high-pitched drilling going on that sounded JUST like a sound from the play and I got the chills. And the way they produced the ending was gruesome. The lighting was also quite clever and sometimes chilling, as well.

I want to go on another London Walk tonight. Blood Curdling London, it's called. Sounds good and it'll take my mind off of this film stuff.

I'm going to see Arcadia on Wednesday and I am SO excited about it.

The play takes places in 1809 and 1989 and the COOLEST part about this is that all the props from 1809 are left on stage for 1989, so the past and present blur together. That's just a little part of it, so go read about it. I'm pumped!

Sorry my posts haven't been as long and picture heavy like usual. All the filming stuff and trying to get my screenplay just the way I want it is taking up a lot of my time. I'm glad that I got to do a lot of touristy stuff with my parents and have had the time to explore a little deeper into what England has to offer, but now it's time to get down to business and do what I came here to do. Filming

Pip pip, cherrio and all that rot
