Premiere ,Preview or Out and About.
Last night I went to see a preview of She Stoops to Conquer at the National Theatre London. She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith was first performed at the Theatre Royal Covent Garden in 1773. I love this play and have seen it performed quite a few times and i did enjoyed this performance. One of the cast was Katherine Kelly playing Miss Hardcastle a big change from playing Becky in Coronation Street.
So that was the preview, what about the premiere I hear you ask? Well on my way to the National I heard all this commotion and then saw the red carpet outside The Royal Festival Hall. On the red carpet was Daniel Radcliffe ( of Harry Potter fame) star of the film Woman in Black. I lingered for a while watching limos draw up ,cameras flashing ,and hearing screaming fans, camera crews and photographers. I thought what a strange life these 'stars' have and then glad I could move away from all this razzmatazz.

That is amazing! When I was last in London at Fornum and Masons, Bill Nighey (spelling?) opened the door for me! Glad you enjoyed the performance, one of my favourite plays!
