London Fields
I am in England. For leisure purposes! My sister and I saw David Tennant perform in Richard II, which is a Shakespeare play I have never read.
Mr. Tennant grew his hair out to an admirable length for the role, and his performance was entertaining, to say the least. Unfortunately, I was so tired during the first half of the play that I kept nodding off, but the intermission woke me up enough to fully appreciate the final few acts. My sister Christa Grammer (https://soundcloud.com/kamaradband, @GrammerChrista) was fortunate enough to give him a CD of Dr. Who songs she made and get a picture with the guy. I stood awkwardly nearby admiring his long, braided Tennantine hair. It seems like a writerly thing to observe rather than participate, but I definitely wanted to shake his hand. However, this was my sister's moment and I was content with watching her flip out with happiness.
Cool quote from the play:
Nor I nor any man that but man is
With nothing shall be pleased, till he be eased
With being nothing.
