The Boy left programme in the fish and chip place and appears to have no understanding of what the play was about - tho he said it was funny - or of who the director was or who any of the actors were. I'be pointed out to him that these basic facts are the minimum he"'ll be asked about at interview.

Theatre themed day in London
We make our way to Borough and I march him along the road talking about late medieval and early modern theatre. We arrive here:
http://www.elizabethan-era.org.uk/george-inn.htm (http://www.elizabethan-era.org.uk/george-inn.htm)
I carefully point out that canny actor managers would get inspiration from its design for the first purpose built theatres in a millennium or more.
We proceed to Park Street and gaze upon the site of the original Globe before crossing the road to the rediscovered Rose. I talk about Richard Burbage.
http://www.rosetheatre.org.uk/discover/the-history/
(http://www.rosetheatre.org.uk/discover/the-history/)
A short film is followed by a passionate account of the theatre by a hyper enthusiasitc Canadian woman of around 30. We discuss the theatre and Shakespeare's involvement, the Henslowe papers and the brief life of Marlowe
Verdict: "She was quite fit. If she was a bit younger, I would!"
We go for coffee. "I want to move to London. It's full of fit girls."
We attend the Globe for the 2.00 performance of Measure for Measure where we are surrounded by a large group of young, slim blonde American girls. noooo:
After 3 hours standing we proceed to Shaftesbury Avenue for some information about post Restoration theatrical revival and Victorian thatrical blossoming.
We head for Soho for a pizza
"Chinese girls are quite fit."
The pizza place has many viewing mirrors which permit the Boy to keep a careful eye on fellow diners. Especially the redheads.
I talk about his UCAS personal statement. He checks out the waitress.
We stagger to Covent Garden for some modern street entertainers. The Boy admires her legs.
Finally, EUston. I have bought him a cheapo first class ticket for the trip to Scallypool. "Will I get my own serving girl?"
Isn't education wonderful?
