An American play in London

Posted by Laura Geggel at 07:20 AM

Instead of going to practice, I managed to get terrifically lost with Liz on our way to see "Gem of the Ocean," an August Wilson play. The play was amazing; about racial relations during a steel mill strike in 1906 Pittsburgh. It feels a little odd seeing an American play in London, but the audience loved it.

Every playhouse here serves little cartons of ice cream at intermission (or rather, "interval). It's a tradition that the States definitely needs to pick up.
