I saw:
"The School for Scheming" at the Orange Tree Theatre
"Titus Andronicus" at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
"The Commitments" at the Palace Theatre
"A Small Family Business" at the National Theatre (in the Olivier Theatre)
"The Silver Tassie" at the National Theatre (in the Lyttelton Theatre)
and
"Blithe Spirit" at the Gielgud Theatre - with Angela Lansbury
I also went to the Victoria and Albert Museum to see their Theatre and Performance Exhibit which was featuring a special exhibit on Shakespeare as his 450th Birthday "just passed."
And I went to the British Museum to see an exhibit on the Vikings called "Vikings: Life and Legend."
We also went to a "High Tea" ... which to me, isn't all that it's cracked up to be - even if the finger sandwiches, pastries and tea were tasty. LOL! :)
OH AND, I was able to meet up with a few of my friends ... Kaitlin, Adam and Nour!
Oh oh oh ... how could I forget this ... while taking a guided bus tour of the city (on our first day, for patrons who had never been to London) we stopped to use the loo's near Westminster Abbey, and it just so happened that THE QUEEN (yes, you read that correctly) was on her way for an Order of Bath Ceremony ... and we saw her as she drove past us!!! Who would have ever imagined???!!! :o) Tres tres cool!!!
5 years since I was last there ... too long really, but so awesome that I got to go - and didn't have to pay for it myself ... and hoping my next trip there doesn't take another 5 years.
It's a really great work perk actually!
