Warhorse

It is worth going to see Warhorse just to see the horses. The way they move is so natural - it really is captivating. The horses really convey emotions thanks to the actors controlling them.


Michele and Russell at The Warhorse show

The theater is really small and intimate which is very nice. You are really not far from the stage where ever you sit and the cast come in to the audience.

We also visited the British Museum while we were in London - it is not far from the Warhorse theater. The museum is vast and you really can't see much of in one visit!

The Rosetta Stone

This is fascinating - the carving alone is worth a look (so tiny and so neat) but the story to go with it makes it even more worth the trip...  http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/aes/t/the_rosetta_stone.aspx
