We have had a fun week. On Thursday we all went to see Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders at the Drury Lane. Incredible show...very, very funny. On Friday we went to Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Sir William Churchill. The students toured the palace, took the little train to the Maze, lawn games area(checkers, chess, swings, etc), butterfly house, lake and waterfall. On Friday night Tim, Joe, Peter, Curtis and I went to the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre to see Peepolykus (people like us) an amazingly funny company that did Spyski (or The Importance of Being Honest) a spy thriller based around a production of The Importance of Being Ernest. It was wonderful! Some other students went tonight to see the final performance. Others went to see Peepolykus' productiong of The Hounds of the Baskervilles at the Richmond Theatre. Judy and I first saw this group in Edinburgh and later in London in 2001. Bern, Ali, Caitlin, and Tommy spent today in Bath and had a great time. I went to see a fantastic production of Noel Coward's A Brief Encounter that was based on the 1938 film. It was performed in a cinema on Haymarket Street. Very creative and fun. This week we will be seeing West Side Story at the New Wimbledon Theatre, Oedipus at the National with Ralph Fiennes, and No Man's Land by Harold Pinter with Michael Gambon (Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films).
