The Woman in Black

Went to see another play last night. The Woman in Black was amazing. Only two characters on the stage, but the entire play was magnificent. It's been going since 1998, and has had very good reviews. The best part was that it was only £12.50/ticket.

The play recalled a man's tale of his journey to a small town where an accident happened 60 years ago. I noticed myself holding my breath at moments. This was far better than any movie I have ever seen, but live theatre does have a natural advantage.

We've decided to make the theatre a Monday thing. As it is fairly inexpensive (Cinemas cost £11/ticket anyways), we choose to enjoy the culture while we're here.

Speaking of Cinemas, we happened to pass the Fantastic Four premier on the way to the theatre and decided to stay for a few minutes. Beyond the massive amounts of fire, I was disappointed by the performance, with only about 150 people attending. Someone forgot to take down the candy canes in the trees meant for the Willy Wonka premier from the weekend.
