After our rest, we put on our nicer clothes and went back to Piccadilly Circus for Chariots of Fire. This is one of the city’s theater districts, and when you looked down the street all you saw was marquee after marquee for all of the shows. It was a great atmosphere with all of the people out, on their way to shows.

Our theater was on the small side, and in the
round for Chariots. This is the only photo I could get before the usher
descended on us with a warning about no photos. So you’ll just need to use your imagination. The round stage
was also a turntable, which was quite helpful when staging the many slo-motion
running segments. Admit it now…you’re starting to hum the Chariots of Fire
theme, aren’t you? The play was
quite good, and it was fun to watch the scenery changes since there really
wasn’t much you could go when working in the round but they were quite clever
about it.

Afterward, the street was filled with folks
coming from their plays and it was quite a festive atmosphere and a lovely
evening to boot. Of course that
meant the tube ride home was packed with the theater crowd, but it was worth
it.
Now we’re trying to figure out something neat
to do tomorrow night, on our final night in London. We’re planning on a daytime cruise on the Thames, probably
with a picnic lunch. We still need
to see the Tower Bridge, visit the Chelsea megastore at Stamford Bridge, and
Ally wants to do some shopping at her favorite London store Primark.
