Today was a bank holiday, so another day off for me, which meant another show! I had gotten a really inexpensive ticket to see David Tennant, of Doctor Who fame, in a play called Don Juan in Soho. I had no idea what the play was about, and no real knowledge of the Don Juan stories, but I was excited nonetheless. The theatre was in Soho, and was right next to Leicester Square, so I made a list of a few places I wanted to go to, mainly bookshops and cafes, and set off on my way!
My first stop was at the Wyndham Theatre to pick up my tickets from the box office, and then I went to Watkins books. It's one of the oldest and most famous occult bookstores in London, offering tarot readings and lessons, and selling a huge selection of Tarot, crystal, witchcraft, Pagan, and religious literature. It was really interesting to bop around and see all of the different things they sell and get to chat to one of the ladies who works there.
Then I headed off to the Foyles on Tottenham Court Road, which may just be the most beautiful bookshop i've ever been in?? It's crisp and clean and bright and filled with all of these beautiful books. There's also a cafe at the top, and while it was super busy when I was there, I have no doubt that I will be back to sit and read at the cafe.
And then I went for ramen at a place called Bone Daddies, and it was delicious. I can't remember what I ordered, but it was delicious. I was so excited to eat it when it came out that I forgot to take a picture of it. I need to get better at things like this.
And then time for the show! I actually had a box seat, because ooh look at me, i'm fancy now, so I was taken to my box and was just in awe of the theatre until the other person in the box joined me. And I cannot make this up, the girl next to me was from Richmond Hill! It seems that i've come to UK only to meet more Canadians!
But the show was fabulous, and David Tennant and his cast blew me away. God, that man is so charming, isn't he?? After the show, I went out to the stage door, and because it was so busy, he wasn't allowed to take selfies, but he came out to chat, and I got to say hello and he signed my program. He's so charming and lovely and god I just want to watch him act and speak and just exist for hours.

But that was my day at the theatre! Not too sure what i'm going to get up to this next week, but i'm very excited to see where my adventures take me!
Cheers!
