What really confused me was the laughter. Maybe it all went over my head, but I never found anything laugh out loud funny. Headache inducing, maybe, but not funny. To add to this we had 'obstructed view' seats yet again. At Les Mis the top of the stage was out of view from my seat, and here we were so far to stage left that I never saw any of the actor's faces. I think I might have enjoyed the play a bit better if I had read it or knew anything about the plotline. It was a bit hard for me to follow.
After intermission my headache that had started earlier got worse, so I decided to sit out the second half of the play. That might have been a mistake on my part because I was subsequently made to walk home alone at 11pm in a city I barely knew. I've always taken someone with me when I've gone outside the area immediately around my flat. Being all by myself so late at night was very upsetting. Luckily I could text my boyfriend so someone would know where I was in case anything happened. I found the Tube station a few blocks away and made the lonely trip back to the study center. I hope that tomorrow is a better day without incident. I'll be visiting Highclere Castle where they film Downton Abbey! (And of course I won't be alone. Buddy system with my roomie Melissa, a fellow Downton fan.)
