This was a good day. I found a restaurant online suggested by the Ambassador's Theatre where we were to go for a production of MacBeth by the National Youth Theatre. The Noodle. Near Covent Garden. I met Ralph there. Good food and a table by the window which looked out on a poster across the street for a movie about Jimi Hendrix. I was happy. I was learning to navigate and travel.
The theatre was full of school children. Wondering what to expect. One of Ralph's students did not show up. He was and had been worried about her. The production was good. Interesting effect at one point with a large center stage teepee like area lit up by a red light from within in such a way that silhouettes of the performers were projected onto the curtain that faced the stage. If I remember correctly, this was a scene with the witches. There was a jester-like character played by a woman. She was terrific and thrilled the children. That is a personality so apart from who I am I can hardly believe it. Lady MacBeth was very good. Her costumes, too, were wonderful.
I believe this was the night we walked to the Dune shoe store in Covent Garden and bought two pair of boots for me, one of which I intended to return. Black suede ankle boots with buckles and tan nubuck ankle boots with an elevated heel. I took them both to Paris next day and could not make a decision while there.
