Time Off

Lately work has been quite hectic and we both got back into the three-hours-of-sleep-a-night routine a little too early in the term for our liking. So last night we had a little treat/quiet time for ourselves and went to the theatre at the Barbican. (Which I think is one of my favorite parts of London only because of the massive scale and 'architectural urban utopian vision' feel about it- another post altogether!) The performance was set in The Pit of the Barbican which is apparently where all the 'experimental' stuff goes on. From the adverts on the website we knew that there would be nudity and was perhaps a little racy than going to see some of the big west end shows for the family, as you can see from the program here.

Little did I know! There was an 'unforgettable striptease' as promised, which was hilarious as hoots of appreciation from the crowd only fuelled her on. She came back later on for a 'post show discussion' with a completely different persona that was utterly original and fun to watch.

Managed to get the bus back to Angel and finally a yummy dinner at 10pm. Wandered on home to a mug of hot tea and the kitty purring in my lap. All the ingredients for a perfect evening so now can't wait for Korean Romeo and Juliet in November. In the meanwhile, the tickets wait patiently on my desk for our next date. xxw


woohoo!!
