This time we actually had our tour at the National Theatre. It was interesting, and they consider themselves a factory, as well. The amount of workers that build and paint sets, make props, costumes, etc. It's an insane amount of people. They have 3 theaters and each theater switches between 2 shows every 4 day, so the crew has to swap out sets completely, once every four days.
When we got back to the apartments I worked on my Enron project. We have a 1000 word outline draft thing due on Thursday, so I did 500 and figured I could do another 500 tomorrow. When I finished, 2 hours later, Alayna was heading off to go to the gym and I couldn't be upstaged...so I went for a run. It was a great run. I knocked out a 5k, which I haven't done in a while. I'm preparing myself for my 10k in July. I'm really excited, because it finishes in the 2012 Olympic Stadium and JT is buying me a full English breakfast afterwards!
I came back for a quick shower before pizza night, I had 4 slices, before we ran out to get to our show for class. This show was called For Those Who Cry When They Hear The Foxes Scream. The "theater" held about 50 people, but there were only about 25 of us. The set was a white room, with a bed and a chair...and two actresses.
"A medical isolation unit. A girl is trapped in a bubble. No one can touch her. Her girlfriend comes to visit her every day; they listen to audiobooks, argue, dream and despair… anything to pass the time, to fill the clinical silence. But they can’t pretend for much longer. Unable to exist in the real world, they must struggle together to comprehend and survive the truth of their situation."
All I can say is, it was really weird, had a Shutter Island affect, but the acting was really good. It was rough to watch at some point because she was screaming and twitching and was basically like a mental patient with schizophrenia.
Now Alayna, Reid and I are having a nice chat about life. These have becoming more and more normal and I love it.
