The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

So a couple of weeks ago now, I had the absolute pleasure of going to watch 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' which was touring at my local theatre not too long ago. And I have to admit to you that it was amazing! I can't describe how good it was. The play consisted of three actors who, played several different characters; which I believe they did amazingly well. And if I had another chance to go see it I would, without a doubt run there. But, I have to sadly say it has moved away from Hull and is now visiting other destinations around the country. So, if you have chance to go see it I advise that you do and fast, because the tickets will be selling out. Oh no!

This is James Weaver, the main guy of the show. He played the parts of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, this he did with sheer simplicity it was almost as though they were created for him to play. I have just realised that some of you may not know what this wonderful play is about. So here is what Hull Truck Theatre have to say about the play; originally written by Robert Louis Stevenson as a book and adapted by Nick Lane. Click here. I went to see the play for my friends birthday and one of them had a lets say 'thing' for Mr Hyde. This may be because of his passionate and leading role within the play. Although, I did find funny because he was nearly old enough to be her Dad. Overall, my advice would be read the book, see the play and just enjoy it as much as I did.

Halloween and Bonfire Night

Halloween

Sorry for it being so late. But anyways, for Halloween my Nanna decorated the house like every year. It's the norm thing at hers, with pumpkins and gouls and ghosts, she loves it! And this year was no exception, she started the week before - 25th October - getting ready for this festive occasion. This year I invited my girlies round and said get dressed up. Although, I have to admit that I only got mine together about 30 minutes before they arrived, and I don't really know what I am to be honest. Any suggestions? (I'm the one on the left, Mia on the right)

However, before this me and Derek (also known as Dezzawan my boyfriend) carved some halloweeny pumpkins. Actually, when I say we I mean; I scooped out all the mushy insides which was fun and he did and he did all the arty carving. I am not talented in that area of experties. Here are our pumpkins which we put in the front windows to 'lure kids in trick or treating' as my Nanna would say or, if you are normal to make the house look more halloweeny.

(Sorry on the fuzzy photography)

And this is my little brother as a pumpkin, cutie.

Bonfire Night

Last night is also another event where my Nanna goes all out again, but this time instead of decorations it's with the food! My favourite thing, yey. So, last night the family came round and we feasted until our bellies hurt. And with our hats and gloves stood outside in the freezing November weather to watch the fireworks, and play with sparklers. (No one is too old for sparklers)

This here is a picture of one of the fireworks we let off.

And this is the love heart I made with my sparkler.



I just love bonfire night, just looking up at the fireworks and watching them explode in the sky filling it with colour. I just wish my dog wasn't afraid of the loud noises from the fireworks, but I guess he will be fine. Hope you all had a great bonfire night too, fill me in on your events.

Multi-coloured cheesecake.

This is my beautiful multi-coloured cheesecake which, as I promised yesterday I would give you a better picture.

This is another picture just to give you an overall view of my cheesecake. Although my critics stated 'it looked weird' once they had a mouthful they then said 'but it tastes lovely...can I have more'. By the way, it's lemon flavoured if you were wondering.

My cheesecake, there is also pink and blue underneath. I will show you when cut later. It looks yummy!

Film view.

As I promised yesterday, I am going to report my thoughts and feelings of the new film 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' starring Emma Watson, Logan Lerman and Ezra Miller. I am sorry it is a little late, apologies. Well as you all know the novel was created by Stephen Chbosky and was a best-seller, although I have not had the pleasure of reading it yet. Hopeful I will soon. Well I had heard good things about the book, and was very excited to see the film. All I can say is that the film was an overwhelming experience and I loved every moment of it. As many people know, I am an amateur when it comes to movies and I am sorry if you do not share my opinion on the film. Although, at first I did not warm to Sam (Emma Watson) she soon fulfilled her part within the film. But, I believe Logan Lerman played the part of Charlie perfectly showing how that although he has a troubling life, he can make friends and have happy memories. Charlie, is the narrator throughout the film and this is done by him writing letters to his anonymous friend. I won't spoil the ending for you but, I strongly recommend that you go watch this film at your local cinema, as if you don't I assure you that you will regret it. This is the first review I have ever written, so sorry for lack of experience.

Just going to see perks of being a wallflower, supposed to be good. However, I would like to read the book first. I shall tell you my verdict in 2 hours and 20 minutes, fingers crossed.

My new albums! So excited:D
