I’m horribly transparent…

Fool for Love. by sam shepard. I saw it…. starring Juliette Lewis (Cape Fear, the Other Sister) and Martin Henderson. it was gritty and trashy as always. you know what to expect with sam. i thought there was some excellent scene work done, especially on the side of martin henderson but juliette lewis tried too hard at times. and she sort of acted like she was missing a chromosome (hence, i recalled she was in the other sister). but all in all, that night was a blast.

Natalie’s father took us out to see the production and then we ate and drank at this little italian bistro called Little Italy. Contrived named, I know it…  but…. let’s just say, you might just find me at Little Italy every weekend. After 11, the bar is incredible. The bartenders are great, the music is ECLECTIC and great, and there’s dancing. but not too much dancing, fortunately. the only drawback is the pricey drinks. but it’s really worth a weekly visit or so.

The next night the program took us to see Guys and Dolls with Patrick Swayze. hahaha. I’m laughing with you. It acted sort of like a start of semester pre-paid event through the school so it was all the academic kids too. They loved it, naturally but you could definitely pick out us actors in the audience. It was dreadful. Swayze, what a washup lol.

I started classes today. SO incredible. so so so so incredible. London Theatre Analysis is incredible. what phenomenal professors and after that and playwriting we finished off the day with a good and long Linklater Voice class. Nothing like getting back in the swing of things. I really like our Linklater prof, Joanna Weir-Ousten. She’s the only certified linklater teacher in the UK and apparently helped write the new book with Kristin Linklater coming out this month. Very exciting.

I think that’s basically it. well, keep in mind, in between all those events has been lots of walking, wandering, drinking, eating, drinking, eating, and wandering. This place is incredible. I don’t think I’ll leave. no….. I won’t.
