Yet another perk of living in London? Seeing the one and only Kevin Spacey perform live at the Old Vic theatre in Richard III. The husband has just been outdoing himself lately and organised another(!) date night. We met at Jubilee Gardens in front of the London Eye for a delicious picnic (many thanks Melrose & Morgan). Then walked our bikes to the Old Vic where we watched (in the most amazing seats EVER) the 3.5hour production.
Sam Mendes (of American Beauty fame) directed and I have to say, it really was one of the best performances I've seen. Shakespeare is sometimes hard to follow on stage but this production really came to life with the set design, an interesting use of new media and incredibly dramatic live music. It was almost like being in a cinema!
If you can get tickets, I would definitely recommend seeing this. But be quick as they are almost totally sold out!
