I went to see the Comedy of Errors and Swan Lake quite a while ago at the Belgrade theatre. They were the first Shakespeare and the first ballet I had seen. Comedy of Errors was kind of confusing and although I could follow the story I didn't really understand everything they were saying but then I knew Shakespeare wasn't one of my strong points anyway ;) The set and costumes were modern but they still spoke in old English which I didn't see the point of. If they wanted it to be modern then make it modern!!! (Can you tell it wasn't one of my favourite trips to the theatre?) I did enjoy Swan Lake however. I had to read the programme to understand most of the story but once I knew what was happening I was okay. I think the stage was a bit too small for ballet though and it meant that they couldn't do a lot of the jumps and leaps.
I also wanted to tell you that I have conditional places at East 15, Colchester and Mountview! MOUNTVIEW!!! I still can't quite believe it! I'm still waiting to hear from ALRA but I will most probably accept Mountview (even though it's £10,095 a year!)
That's all for now :)
