I arrived in London yesterday to begin a research project, and have been having a marvelous time exploring this vast, culturally vibrant, architecturally stunning city.

I’ve been diving into seeing theatre: I saw Girl from the North Country at the Old Vic, Disco Pigs at Trafalgar Studios. Today, the saga of the £15 ticket for Angels in America Part 2: Perestroika at the National, courtesy of my family’s group chat. Did I get the ticket? You’ll have to read to find out.

Part 1: 5:15 in the Bitter London Summer Morning Cold

(actually, it’s 5:17).

(I know who Andrew Garfield is, but not Andre Garfield).

Part 2: The Epic Continues

Part 3: “the queue”

(that is all).

Part 4: waiting waiting waiting on the cold, hard, ground, making friends with fellow suffering Tony Kushner fans, talking about Foucault and praying it won’t rain.

(no screenshot).

Part 5: Victory. Sweet. Victory.

– shara out.

  • More soon.
