We've been branching out a bit with our theatre going lately. Seeing plays at places other than just the National Theatre and the Barbican. We went to the Arcola theatre to see the Witch of Walken. It's a really cool theatre, quite small, and the stage is surrounded on three sides by the audience. So you are really amongst the action when you are there. We had great seats on the balcony, almost on top of the stage, so we could look down and see everything.
The play was based on a true story, which was a bit disturbing, it was one of the last cases of witchcraft in England. And the true story seemed to be all about some farmer getting annoyed at this woman so kept accusing her of witchcraft until she was eventually found guilty, and was forced to leave the town.
It's kind of cool that it's so easy to get to this theatre, I am loving the London Overground at the moment. East London is a happening place at the moment, and that's all on the right side of town for me.
