On Tuesday my Art and Architecture class went on a field trip to tour Westminster Abbey. It was very interesting and informative. but this wasn't the best part of my Tuesday/week/month/LIFE...
While I am excited for all of the shows I am going to see with my theatre class this semester, I was mostly excited to see The Crucible. Even though it is incredibly tragic I have loved the play since I read it in high school. When I was a kid I loved to talk about the witch trials in school, especially around Halloween when Hocus Pocus came on because, lets be honest that's the greatest movie ever.
Anyway, this particular production of the Crucible was at The Old Vic and has been the talk of the town all summer. The lighting ,stage design, ad obviously acting were perfection.
Possibly the best part was that the man who played John Proctor also plays Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit movies. Yes. That's right. I was about 30 feet away from Thorin Oakenshield. He was phenomenal. Incredibly emotional.
TAKE THAT RACHEL SCHAUB. YOU MAY BE IN NEW ZEALAND BUT I AM CLOSER TO A REAL LIFE HOBBIT.
Side note: he is incredibly tall for a Hobbit (6' 2'')
But yeah, that's actually pretty much it. Not that exciting of a week.
xoxo,
Kaity
