On Thursday night i was lucky enough to catch the play Frankenstein at The National Theatre. I've alway's loved the theatre, and when choosing what i wanted to study at university, a degree in Theatre was a pretty high contender. Alas i decided that my heart really wasn't in it, and i always got type casted as the evil characters - food for thought there. Never the less, my friend Sarah and Elizabeth both study the arts, so every now and then we all like to put on our posh frocks and not forgetting, our very posh Surrey accents, as you do.
I couldn't for the life of me decide what dress to wear, so i settled on a pair of chinos - what have i become? Looking back on them, they really aren't flattering. Shame really. I'm starting to think i really am a dress girl through and through.
Trench - Topshop
Blouse - Topshop
Chinos - New Look
Bag - Mulberry
Ballet pumps - New Look
Un-photogenic face - priceless ;)
With my lovely friend Elizabeth, in her amazing Ray Bans, lust much!
In-keeping with the horror theme, it would be rude not to treat oneself to a Frankenstein cocktail! Melon liqueur and lime, with a dash of some mysterious smoke, eerie.
The play was utterly amazing, based on Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, director Danny Boyle bought the horror to life with a slight modern twists, in a gripping and thrilling way. The thought of Marry Shelley itself brings back horrific tale of English Literature exams, shudder, never the less with Benedict Cumberbatch playing the (naked) monster was very appealing. Cumberbatch, mostly notably seen in the television drama Sherlock, shared the role with Jonny Lee Miller (aka Ang Jolies's ex) whereby each night they swapped the roles of Victor Frankenstein and the monster, crazy acting skills there.
I'm off to see Billy Elliot tomorrow, despite the fact i'm not the biggest fan of musicals, with the family. Then off to see Dr. Faustus at The Globe in July, how cultured! Are you planning a trip to the theatre soon? Any recommendations?
Just a quick note to say, i'm so glad you enjoyed the Royal Blogger's take-over. I do hope you had a good lust over some beautiful dresses and found some lovely ladies blogs to follow. Whats next? ;)
