London recap

[anarion]

I went to visit some friends in London last weekend and awesomeness ensued!



I arrived on Thursday night and met for tea with verityburns and arianedevere on Friday. It was awesome to finally meet them both! :)

We went on to see 'Much Ado About Nothing' with David Tennant and Catherine Tate, which was hilarious! I laughed so hard things started to hurt.
We were in the front row, meaning we were so close that DT actually spat on me. *lol*
And he looked fabulous! Can I just say: his SHOES!?!






On Saturday we tried to meet with santheum for brunch which proved to be a little difficult. ;-)
But we managed in the end. It was too short, we definitely have to do that again! Maybe this time we will actually get into the Breakfast Club?

Verity, Ari and I went on to
and then to Regent's Park where we checked out the bridges she used in her stories.







We met with more friendly people and re-enacted 'A Study in Pink'. *har*






On Sunday I went to see an exhibition in the British Library about SciFi books. Frankenstein was mentioned a lot, whiche amused me to no end.











I went to the

to see 'Emperor and Galilean'. Not sure this is my kind of play, I mean the actors were all fabulous and the coat was pretty amazing, but the story and the characters were a little too crazy for my taste. Me don't know...

Funny thing: Benedict Cumberbatch and Mark Gatiss were in the audience as well. Apparently more of the Sherlock cast were there, but I did not see them. I would have loved to see Martin Freeman. :)

Ah, now that you mention it...

I think I will have to go back in October, because Ralph Fiennes AND Jude Law are in a play then! *flails*

Ari told me you are thinking of going to London in Dec/January. I will definitely try to come when you are there, I sooo want to meet you! January is better though I think, December in London is crazy.
But If you could work out October that would be even better. :)

Oh, yes. I think she was sitting behind me...

[siduri1959]

Oh, how attractive...

[ledasdaughter.livejournal.com]

lol, did you hear humming and affirmative noises? then yes, it was probably her :D

[ledasdaughter.livejournal.com]

[siduri1959]

OMG, I was just thinking about the humming emanations. You read my mind.

It might have been the day Louise Brealey was also there! Damn, you're so lucky!

[anarion.livejournal.com]

They probably all were there together. Don't know about Martin Freeman though...

[psychedk.livejournal.com]

No, it doesn't seem like he was there. But still. God I wish I had met Mark Gatiss, I so want to meet that man ;_;
