Our first night in Stratford wasn’t excessively
exciting. It was fun to go out to a couple bars with Kaitlyn, Lorin, and
Andrew. I have a few pictures from then that you can see. I also made a video,
but Facebook was being slow about uploading it. Probably will have to wait till
I get back to the states and transfer it over to the desktop.
Yesterday we had class outside by the Avon. It was
really nice to watch duckies and such. Swans really are mean. One was
terrorizing the other winged creatures. We visited Shakespeare’s Birthplace,
which was really interesting. Though, the start of it was kind of…Well, Kaitlyn
said it best by comparing it to a Disney attraction tour with the way the
videos were staged. After that I went out to lunch with Katie, Kaitlyn, and
Lorin. It was really good and I was kind of happy to have a salad. I’m somewhat
afraid to step on a scale once I’m back in the states. Geh… We then went to New
Place/Nash’s House, which was where Shakespeare lived with his family. That was
great too. After that we came back and waited till it was 5pm to go out to
dinner. After the dinner we then went and saw the play Titus Andronicus.
So…you want to know about the play? It was GREAT. It
was very intriguing. I was kind of worried because I’m relatively squeamish
when it comes to blood and gore and whatnot, but it was actually quite comedic.
In a dark way. It was kind of unexpected. There were liberties taken in the
play that were good. They swapped around verses and their transitions were
great. Certain scenes were REALLY something. The ending was…omg…that ending…so
dark…SO GOOD. It isn’t the kind of play I just want to write my opinion out in
words on. There is just so much I would love to tell people about, so just feel
free to ask me about it when I am back in the states and I’m not exhausted from
being almost at the end of the trip and having done a presentation today.
Right, so I did my Shakespeare presentation today.
We will be seeing As You Like It
tonight. We have had free time for quite the amount of time today. No more
official blog entries to do, which is nice. I will have to start working on a
review of either Titus or the one tonight, but we’ll see after tonight.
Sorry my blogs have gotten more and more boring over
time. I’m just so tired at this point and everything is just kind of coming to
a close. I don’t feel much time to actually write out fun and humorous posts.
Anyway, I will see if I can update tomorrow. It’ll be crazy since we go to a Heathrow
hotel tomorrow before we fly out Monday morning.
