London Calling

Today was a trip to the Disneyland of Department stores - Harrods - then to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Then we dragged our selves to dinner at at North African restaurant in Soho before going to see Equus.

Daniel Radcliffe was really good in his role as the disturbed boy, but Richard Griffiths as his doctor was fantastic. Will Kemp is still a beautiful human being. I hadn't read this play since High School and I was amazed how well it stood the test of time. The entire production was really well done. It's nice to see some high quality theatre.

Afterwards, we walked out with the crowd and ended up at the stage door where the actors took turns making appearances and signing programs. I didn't get any sigs but I did get some pictures.

The best conversation I had was with an Asian trio who wonderred what all of the fuss was about. Someone said "Harry Potter is there". I showed them a pic I took and told them he had just gone back inside the theatre. They asked me "WHY is Harry Potter inside?" I tried to explain that he was in a play, but I don't think it was understood.

When Richard Griffiths came out, people thought it was Santa Claus, Obi Wan Kanobe or Dumbledore. And I think I have no pop culture knowledge!

Here's the most recent batch of pics.
