Skylight

Tanner, Liz, Amy and I met at 7:30 to make our way into the city to get day seats for Skylight with Bill Nighy and Carrie Mulligan. I guess I should clarify that day seats are similar to student rush seats. They are sold on the day of performances for extremely discounted prices. Before we caught the train, we stopped at the Pickled Pantry for Cream Tea, a scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam and a cup of tea. We waited in line for over an hour in front of the theatre while we ate our scones. They were scrumptious. Unfortunately, the show only has 12 day seats and since the computers were down-we later discovered this was all around the city-they were selling standing room seats. When we made our way up to the ticket office there were only two seats left. The girls insisted that Tanner and I take them. Liz went to get tickets to 1984, Amy and Nina decided to have a dinner date, and Tanner and I went to Baker Street in search of his phone at the tube lost and found office. They have him all the information they had but said it would be a few days before they received it. With this news, we headed back to Surbiton for a quick nap before the evening show. Getting into the theatre was madness. There was a returns line a mine long and people were crowding and fighting with the box office to get in. It is definitely the most contemporary theatre piece we have seen. Mulligan and Nighy were splendid. Much of the show was just watching people be. There were a couple men around us talking through the show, which was rather frustrating but the show was lovely regardless.
