The Old Vic

As a last-minute decision, we bought tickets to see the Shakespearean play The Winter's Tale at the Old Vic while we were in London. Tony's dissertation chair recommended that we should see a show or concert, so we jumped online and ordered tickets. It was very much worth it. The Winter's Tale was part of the Bridge Project - a group of actors from the US and the UK who team up to do two shows in New York and then in London directed by Sam Mendes (Kate Winslet's husband). One of the actors is Ethan Hawke (who's been one of my favorites since Dead Poets Society). He was kind of a rogue/pickpocket kind of character in The Winter's Tale. He was hilarious, and the whole thing was delightful.
