Museum of London & One Man, Two Guvnors

Today was our excursion to the Museum of London. We were running a little bit late because the train had to take multiple unexpected stops, and we not aware that the ride into that area of London would be over an hour. We finally got there and met up with the rest of the CIS group. The museum basically displayed London throughout the ages. It was interesting to see the Black Plague and its tremendous effects on London. There was a neat activity where you could click on the main problems London faces and provide your own opinion on the issue and how London should face and deal with it. I figured the results would be shared with government and other involved organizations, which I thought was practical.

After our excursion, we went to an Italian restaurant for dinner, then we changed and headed straight to the National Gallery where we met our group and headed to the nearby theater for the showing of ‘One Man, Two Guvnors.” It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. The play was based on an Italian comedy dell’arte and possessed many Shakespearian qualities. It was about a man who needed money so he worked for two guvnors at the same time, which was an unspeakable act in Britain at the time. The audience was roaring with laughter. This is one of the few plays I would like to see again and again.
