Stephen Fry in Twelth Night

[gini-baggins.livejournal.com]

Hello! Stephen will be performing in the Shakespearian comedy Twelth Night as Malvolio at the Globe (I think that's already sold out) and at the Apollo Theatre in London, from the 2nd of November 2012 to the 3rd of February 2013.

Might it be an idea for those interested to go to purchase tickets on the same day (say a Saturday in November) and meet up and have a stroll through Mayfair and have a drink/meal together before going to the theatre?

Because
1. Jeeves would approve since it's Shakespeare.
2. Jooster needs love :D
3. We will see Stephen in his element, acting.

I hope some of you are interested, it would be jolly nice to meet up with some people. :D
Here's some more info: One of the (many) sites to purchase tickets

I'm pretty sure it will be sold out very soonish. So please let each other know!

EDIT: How does November 24th sound?

I'm glad the issue you were having with posting here finally got resolved!

That sounds awesome. Wish I could do it. :D

[gini-baggins.livejournal.com]

Wish you could come!! That would be grant, shame you live in the US though, as a majority of the com. :( You've got Hugh ;)

Yeah I think it is to deal with spam bots, so posts have to queue before accepted, but I had never seen one of these 'errors' so I got a little impatient *blush* :P

That sounds like fun. I could be in for a late Saturday (say 24th?)

[gini-baggins.livejournal.com]

I was thinking of exactly the same date :D I hope more people find that convenient.

Y I SO AMERICAN? *CRIES* I would want to see this so bad...

by coincidence, I'm doing a monologue from twelfth night...huh

[gini-baggins.livejournal.com]

That's quite a coincidence! I wish you could come though.. I wish tickets weren't so expensive :(

[katelynna10000.livejournal.com]

Yah, I wish I could go to the UK like, at all. Unfortunately, I live in Washington state, which is like....the farthest possible place from Brittan EVAH!

But I'm gonna be going to university soon, and hope to study abroad somewhere in Brittan, so that'll be fun. Hopefully.

You and your English type sense of humor, taunting us Americans so! It's cruel!

[gini-baggins.livejournal.com]

Awww man, if I had the bucks I would have you flown over. :3

You've got Hugh dearie, us Europeans got Stephen, it's a fair share :P

[imshi.livejournal.com]

oh my goodness i can totally go to this! i would really love to meet some of you brilliant people. :D

[gini-baggins.livejournal.com]

Yay that's great :D

[lokuro.livejournal.com]

That's really tempting ._." and though I could book (relative) cheap flights from Germany to the UK and back for a weekend, I'm afraid my studies wont allow me to plan so far in the future (master thesis, here I come).
Spontaneous it the word of the year.

Still.. I'd absolutely love to see Stephen Fry life on stage. Lucky you!
- say 'Hi!' to the green-eyed monster who is grinning at you now <D

[damigella-314.livejournal.com]

It's hard to plan for the future, but would you really have a problem with a Saturday? You can fly Saturday morning and fly back Sunday.

[gini-baggins.livejournal.com]

I second what damigella_314 says. I live in the Netherlands and I have the luck that next year I'll be doing my third Bachelor year, so I can kind of plan ahead. But is a Saturday really inconvenient for you? I'm also only staying for one or two days or else I'll probably get in trouble with my study xD

Would love to have you with us! :D Think it over!

[lokuro.livejournal.com]

Saturday in itself is perfect (outgoing at 10 a.m. and return at 20 p.m. the next day) I was more concern about my tutoring job - I need it for paying all the bills (the bally things seem to increase permanently) and wasn't sure if I can keep the side-job next year due to the thesis work .__." No time for tutoring job = no Stephen for me :(
If, by any chance, yes - I'd love to see you, girls! >D

I shall think it over the next days. Preferably, before the sold-out sign pops up...
I guess, the theater tickets will be the most expensive part of the journey x_X" Did you go to that particular theater before? How far from the stage can one seat without having to use binoculars to follow the play? XD Also, why the hell don't they accept paypal? *going to dig out the old visa card - it has to be somewhere in the flat...*

If you don't mind, I'll PN you later so as not to spam the comm any further :)

P.S.: A few years ago I totally fell in love with Amsterdam <3 (oh yes, travel is tun. If only money & time weren't always such an issue :/)

[gini-baggins.livejournal.com]

Heehee yeah Amsterdam is great, I visit it often and love to stroll her many streets.

I'm going for balony tickets which are 32 pounds. I'm pretty sure all will be smallish to see, but it won't be too bad. You'll be able to make out the different actors, though I think bringing binoculairs is a good idea :-)

For me the journey and accomodation is going to be the most expensive, but I'll travel with easyjet or Ryanair. Probably a youth hostel to stay in ;-)

I think we are with four people now. I'll email you all with some details and possible dates.
I hope you can find your visa card!!!!

Think it over :))))

I have a weak spot for cities with canals (Venice, St. Petersburg) - unsuitable for living but, oh so charming :)
(an old photo (http://lenokie.deviantart.com/art/autumnal-memories-101846397))

Don't you need some sort of card to stay in youth hostel or so? o.O
I'm a bit unsure if it would be best to buy the flight tickets now of to wait for a last-minute-offer, which is way cheaper that the regular prize. Hm. You're welcome to post about that airplane companies a bit more, I'm quite unsatisfied at the offers I'd seen so far.

Also, are they by any chance some of the Londoners to show us trough the city a bit? :)

(It's not a 'yes' so far, I just want to have it planed before finally deciding.)

[gini-baggins.livejournal.com]

Hi honey! Did you receive my PM? We want to go and book tickets for the play this weekend and I wanted to know whether you have had enough time to make up your mind :)

As far as I know you don't need a card to stay in a youth hostel. Most chambers are available from 25 pounds per night, so that's not really expensive. I was thinking of booking here http://www.yha.org.uk/find-accommodation/london/hostels/london_central/index.aspx

I think I will book as soon as available, but I think tickets to London are always available last minute. But which is cheaper? Mmh not really sure :/ You could also go by train, you can travel during the night and sometimes it's even cheaper than flying.

I've been to London before and I know my way a little across the city lol, I can show you from Parlement to Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace to Mayfair xD

But I know cool bits to hang out :)

Let me know your email adress to I can add you to the mailing list. Mine is gini.baggins@gmail.com

Oh by the way, the canals are cool :D this year we were able to ice skate on them (well not me) :P

Got the PN! You shall receive my email in a few minutes.

Sorry for not answering in time, I had two deadlines this week and got a bit distracted. March is going to be a bit stressful for me, so I was hoping to fully attend to the matter in April - I'll have plenty free time there to decide on when and how without some naughty exams and labs breathing down my neck :)

I take you at your word for showing me around >D If someday you're gonna visit my place, I can return the favour :)

re: skating - neither can I... but I admire the view, thanks for the vid :P
(and, oh my gosh, someone was suicidal enough to still ride the bicycle.. as much as I love the vehicle - not on ice o.O")
