happyTonight we went to go see Oscar Wilde's Lady Windemere's Fan at the Gate Theatre which is located at the top of O'Connell Street. The play was really great and hilarious, but one should expect that from Wilde, shouldn't they?
It's so nice to go to plays again. I haven't gone to this many since high school and I had forgotten just how much I like going. The Samuel Beckett Theatre on Trinity's campus is putting on Waiting for Godo, which I want to go see as well. It's not part of the program, but I don't care. The Gate Theatre is producing A View from the Bridge starting 2 August and seems to be starring Chris Meloni of Law & Order: SVU fame. A whole bunch of us want to go see that as well.
We finally got the schedule for the rest of our time here. We're going to be pretty busy while we're in Belfast, going to see lots of different things, the Giant's Causeway being one of them.
But what I'm really excited for is that when we return to Dublin after Belfast, our special guest lecturer for that week is Seamus Heaney!! He's a wonderful poet, at least I think so as do many others.
So lots of things to look forward to. It's hard to believe that my time here is already half over. It makes me sad. A part of me really doesn't want to leave, but I guess that we all must return to reality eventually.
