"Twelfth Night"

After our monumental epicurean adventure on Friday, Saturday was filled with more good food and some culture.  Bri, Rainey and Zach were all dying to see "Twelfth Night" since they were studying it in their theatre class and I just wanted to see the Royal Shakespeare Company in all their glory.  We grabbed some five pound tickets which, after the show, turned out to be really good value for money.  

Before the show, I had breakfast number two.  Not just any breakfast, a traditional full English breakfast complete with baked beans, toast, sausage, bacon, eggs and a grilled tomato.  When the waiter brought out the plates, the food looked almost reflective.  The ridiculous amount of grease gave every glistening bite loads of flavor.  Baked beans, toast and eggs are my new favorite!

How was the show?

I didn't get much humor out of the story (despite it being a comedy) when I studied it in high school, but seeing it live with my own two eyes was incredible.  I was laughing out loud the whole time.  There were so many subtitle mannerisms that really gave the characters some life.  The theatre was gorgeous as you could expect and it definitely turned out to be one of the most enjoyable afternoons I've had in London.

Good times.
