Well i've waited ages for today. The year 9ers at my school, some year 10 and some year 11 went to watch Romeo and Juliet at Sydney Theatre today. ^^
We went to school as normal, but right after roll call we went to the outdoor shelter to get our names marked off and on to the bus. I HAD to sit next to AB because he told me to and i didn't really have any other choice. ><" Oh well it was fun. I got to insult and joke around with him and he did the same to me so it was all cool. ^^ We took lots of photos for out french friend MH. I really haven't talked to her in ages. But she sent me a birthday present.
Anyways back to the excursion. We got off at Circular Quay across the bay where you can see the Harbour Bridge and catch a ferry. We had recess and lunch there together. It was awful that whole one hour!! I counted how many times me and AB were called a couple and the count came out to be at least 10!! GAHH!! I AM NOT DATING HIM FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!
Anywho. We took a lot of photos for MH. Hopefully she doesn't hate me because MH and AB are practically going out and I am very close with AB. I also took some photos with friends. Hopefully JB will send me the picture of me and her. It came out really good.
Well after the lunch/recess break we started walking towards the theatre. [I still have the ticket xDD] While walking we had some pretty good shots of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. So we tried to take pictures for MH in front of them. It seems that if AB and i are even seen together we seem like a couple even if we're just walking and talking as friends. ~sigh~
When we got to the theatre we had to wait a while for the show because some other show was taking place. We were sitting on a dock sort of thing near the Harbour Bridge. I sat down and i couldn't believe how calm i was. The sea looked so beautiful. Well that was kind of ruined by the rants of AB about his paganism. Lol.
When we got into the theatre it wasn't as big as i expected it. And the set wasn't what i though it would. When I walked in i was like "What the hell? Why is there a car?" But when the story started I realised that they had tried to make it a bit modern (even though they spoke in Shakespearean text) and it was contemporary.
The actress who played Juliet was an excellent actress! When she got close to the audience you could actually see tears in her eyes. I also liked Mercutio's character. Though the character is supposed to be a guy it was played by a woman. And i believe she did a wonderful job!
Well after the play we obviously head back to school. From there my dad picked me up.
All in all it was a pretty good day and the play was pretty good. Though i really wanted to see the classical version. I really was expecting it. Oh well. Maybe next time. =)
