RSC! I'll miss thee!

Tomorrow is my last day of work at RSC. This week has FLOWN by and I'm sad to be leaving all of a sudden! I was just getting to know folks better and now I've got to go :( Ah, well, I'm excited about London and I'm going to meet my friend Philippa there on Monday night for a Harry Potter Pub Quiz! YESSSS.

Today I saw the dress rehearsal for "Love's Labours Lost". It is a really spectacularly beautiful show (especially the very last moment). The set is dominated by a huge, very realistic tree that can be climbed and there are shards of colored plexiglass hanging all over like willow leaves. It's very lush and the costumes are incredible. The props looked mighty good too! The show itself is a bit weird....not my favorite Shakespeare...but it was fun to see the stuff all together on stage and there were some good moments of acting and of comedy.

I worked on my dog brain a little more today (it's getting noticibly more realistic...pictures will come when it's done tomorrow afternoon! EWW) and finished up my apple and pear cores/peels. They looked mightly real for a foot or so back. Yay!

That's it, really. Saturday I'll likely pack up my stuff and wander around Stratford. I've sort of exhausted my sight-seeing options for the area (I could take the bus up to a big manor house outside town but I don't know how into that I am). Maybe I'll catch a movie or something. I'll probably end up in a coffee shop for a while or if it's nice, down by the river (I love the River Avon! I'll miss it!)

That's all.
Love,
Nat
