Am I doing something wrong?
 

It was 7pm London time.  Not 7pm EST.  If you goto National Theater Live's website you can watch it wouldn't having to download anything.

The show will be up for a week now. Really like the fact they upload it to YouTube, that way it is very accessible to everyone (and I can easily stream it on my fire stick!)

Next up - Jane Eyre.

Oh, I cannot wait to watch this today. When this played Broadway it was right around the time I initially dived deep into theatre and Broadway. This was a comedy and show I have always been wanting to see and now the time has come. Been a really hard few weeks on me (as I’m sure it is for everyone), so I’m going to make the most of this!!!

Getting ready as if I were seeing the matinee today of this. I am shamelessly going to dress up as if I were going to the theatre, have some wine and cheese beforehand, print out a fake playbill for this show, then pour my double of Pinot and sit back and enjoy the show! Have FUN everybody!!!

That play was a delight. I didn't expect to enjoy it so much. It took me until the second scene to adapt to show's rhythms but it's a terrific comedy and a wonderful showcase for Corden.

Watched 'Jane Eyre' last night, and it was terrific. Would say I even enjoyed it better than "One Man...". A very long production (~3 hours without intermission), but you can't take your eyes off of Nadia Clifford.

Treasure Island is on today.

Treasure Island stars Patsy Ferran who has had quite the early career. We saw her pretty much steal every scene she was in in Blithe Spirit with Angela Lansbury in London. She won the Olivier for Best Actress last year. She plays Jim Hawkins! Ferran Interview about Treasure Island

Very excited about the next set of productions coming up. I've heard great things about Barbershop Chronicles and This House, and I missed Streetcar. I've already seen Corionalus but Tom Hiddleston acting, crying and showering will bring me back.
