So classes have officially begun...on Labor Day. My professors are quite enthusiastic about the course. Especially my World of the Play professor. We are doing alot of hands-on learning. The list of shows we are seeing are:
As You Like it - GLOBE THEATRE
The Pitman Painters - NATIONAL THEATER(Which I am going to see the backstage and scene shop of!)
Mother Courage - NATIONAL THEATER
Comedians- LYRIC THEATER
Alison's House - The ORANGE TREE THEATRE
So a wide range of topics I hope to see on the stage this semester.
Ted, Jus and I went to two pubs last night, The Black Friars and The Cockpit, both near St. Paul's Cathedral. The Black Friar's was a really cool looking place. Art Nouveau which came out of the Arts and crafts movement. We shall have to go there again. It had a great list of pub food. The other was hard to find, but came from a recommendation by a Mr. Woody Bynum, called the Cockpit. A great little pub. Very working class english. very fun.
Personally, I found that most of the best pubs were the working class ones. If the pub doesn't feel like you're sitting an old English ladies' living room, they're not doing something right!
