Back to the National Theatre for a wonderful production of Cherry Orchard starring Zoe Wanamaker! It was a lovely production, but no matter who produces it, it still jerks tears in the end. I was just so thrilled to be in the Olivier theatre once more. The show was pretty lengthy, so we didn’t have much time in between Cherry Orchard and War Horse. I can honestly say that I have never seen a better show than War Horse. I was completely taken away into the story. The horses are life size puppets that are worked by 3 puppeteers each. I had to constantly remind myself that the horses weren’t real. But they were definitely alive. They each had so much personality, which left not only me, but I’m sure the entire audience in tears by the end. If I had my choice, I would go back again and see it. After a long day of nothing but theatre, it was time for bed. Our trip is coming quickly to an end, and it’s bitter sweet.
