London Theatre Trip

A trip to the mountains in the first week back at school obviously wasn't enough, because I'm about to leave again. Next up in my Calendar of IB Events is a three day trip to London to see three shows and have a look around. We're going to see

• Hamlet,
• The 39 Steps (last year's school play, now we're seeing a pro production of it),
• and One Man, Two Guvnors.

Should be a really good trip, in part because we have one of the school's most awesome teachers leading it. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), my English teacher is also going, so I'm sure there'll be a conversation or two about what imagery I saw in a particular play and what choices the director made that really emphasized a certain plot point or character trait.

The students on the trip are from grades eleven and twelve (because we're the only lucky ones who the trip was open to), and there's a blend of IB and AP students, which is nice, since the two groups don't otherwise get to mingle that much.

The only downside to this trip is that there appears to be no wifi at the hotel we're booked into, so I won't be posting until Monday, at least. But once I'm back, expect a nice long entry about the trip, with lots of photos.

I have to be up at a horrendous hour tomorrow morning, so it's well time I got some sleep.
