Stage Door – Imelda Staunton
Considering I did not go to the stage door after my previous trip to London to see Imelda in Gypsy. I made sure to make the effort this time I mean come on this is the best performance I have ever seen by anyone on stage like ever. Honestly that is how good Imelda is, and to make it even better she is absolutely incredible at the stage door!
BFI London Film Festival 2015
Pretty good timing to have a trip down to London and that it wasn’t intentionally for the BFI London Film Festival. Yes I know it totally should have been, but that was not the case. Any way a couple of weeks ago I had a little look at the films that were going to be on while I was in the capital, I must have totally missed that The Lady in the Van had Gala screenings.
But I am going to see a show tonight so not going to get to attend the full on Gala event, being able to see the red carpet they were setting up as I passed earlier. All is not lost though as I have got a ticket to go and see the film at 11:30am tomorrow morning. Fitting it in before heading to see Nicole Kidman in Photograph 51.
