You got to see Romantics Anonymous!

I just came home from a four night stay in London, and the absolute highlight of the trip was a seeing the new musical Romantics Anonymous at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, at Shakespeare's Globe. 

It was charming, romantic, funny, superbly performed and excellently directed and staged, and one of the best shows I've ever seen. 

"Angélique makes beautiful chocolates, carefully infused with all the emotion that seems to overwhelm her in daily life. Jean-René runs a chocolate factory that is running out of steam, rather like his own existence. Both seek help from the usual sources: Jean-René favours self-help tapes and Angélique joins a support group, Les Émotifs Anonymes."

If this show was a person I would have asked for at date.

Romantics Anonymous at Sam Wanamaker Playhouse ends at 4.30pm, and the next show, Ordinary Days, starts at 7.30pm, so that'll give us lots of time, which is good, since the walk takes about an hour and a half.

This trip is filled with visits to theatres I'd never been to before. Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, at the New Globe is one, and it's the one we are gonna visit on tuesday, at 2.00pm, for a matiné of Romantics Anonymous.

Walking in London

I quite like walking in London. Everything seems to be close by, because everything you pass is interesting, so the walking, in itself, never gets to be tedious. One forgets that one's walking. 

It would be a different thing if one lived there, I guess, but I have the luxury of just visiting.

But this particular day, 28th of November 2017, is going to be interesting, cause there is gonna be a lot of walking. 

First we start the day by walking from our hotel, the St. Giles on Bedford Avenue in Fitzrovia, to Sam Wannamaker Playhouse on the other side of the Thames, in Southwark, where we are going to see the new musical ROMANTICS ANONYMOUS, and then we set off to Drayton Arms Theatre, in South Kensington, to see Adam Gwons musical ORDINARY DAYS.

And then, we'll walk back to our hotel, the St. Giles. 

All in all, we are gonna be walking 9,7 miles, which is 15,6 kilometers, and will take at least - we are fast walkers but easily distracted - 3 h 20 min.
