Today I went to see a modern version of The Comedy of Errors by Shakespeare at the National Theatre.
Berlin and I have had these tickets booked for aaaaaages! We booked them like 2 months ago cos back then we'd just got to London and we were super excited about doing stuff! Ahahahaha it was actually good that we did that, cos now I'm actually going out rather than sitting in my room doing my essays.
We got our tickets for only £5 each, because we both had Entry Passes. The Entry Pass Scheme is for 16-25 year olds, and you get £5 tickets (they reserve a few in each show for entry pass holders) and discounts at the restaurants and cafes at the theatre. I think you do have to book quite a bit in advance, because seats are limited, but they're cheap!
The play was in Shakespearean English, as in they used the original play, but as you can see from the picture above, most of the actors were African, so they had African accents. It's so different hearing Shakespeare in a African accent!
The sets were amazing!
Twas definitely a welcome break from study.
