It was so great to have Howard Brenton as a guest for our class after seeing "Drawing the Line" the night before. I respected and admired this work so much. I found it incredible how he was able to write this play while being impartial. He said it was simply, "telling the truth". He was a lot funnier and more informal than I expected. I was expecting more of a distant intellectual.
The backstage tour at Drury Lane was very impressive. I had been on tours of theaters in the past, but this tour went above and beyond. I especially enjoyed how the tour guides dressed up and acted out parts. It was great having tour guides who were actually actors. It made the tour so much more interesting. I had no idea how historic that theater was.
