Actor in the City: First Week Finished!

Ok blog readers....I am back! I have honestly been so busy with school and sightseeing that updating has been tough. Also, let's not forget I've been exhausted. So the first week was fun. We had two days of class and then spent the other three, Wed.-Fri. in Stratford-Upon-Avon. I have so many pictures I can't include them all here. Stratford was truly magical. I count my blessings everyday that I get the chance to get my Masters there!

Here is me at Anne Hathaway's Cottage!

I walked around town on Wednesday and we had a Shakespeare Workshop as well as a chance to see the Rape of Lucrece at RSC. It was a poem of Shakespeare's that Camille O'Sullivan(sic) had turned into a one woman show essentially with music and the text. It was hauntingly beautiful. Thursday we went to Anne Hathaway's Cottage and Shakespeare's Birthplace...we also saw Henry IV Part 1 for a matinee and then Henry IV Part 2 in the evening. Needless to say it was a hell of a lot of Shakespeare, but my god was it good! I understood every word and enjoyed almost every minute of it! Friday we went to Warwick Castle...here's a photo:

Look...it's so pretty. I'll call it...the Octavia Castle!

After a lovely tour of the castle on Friday, we headed back to LAMDA. I had a really wonderful three days and wished I could have stayed for longer. I also toured his grave as well and took some cool pics and ate great gelato. That weekend I did something but honestly I've already forgotten. I'm honestly SO exhausted that I feel bad for not updating this but there are some nights I just don't go on my computer. Another blog post about this week were we met our directors, took some movement, fought some people, as well as sang and danced will be uploaded tomorrow...aka Thursday. For now, enjoy photos!
