Two Gents Act 2, Scene 1 – Houses of Parliament, UK

  A very interesting scene in three parts.  Sadly what’s not interesting is this video – me screaming over traffic – is about all you’ll see in the above.  Except, of course, Big Bad Oliver Cromwell perched above our proceedings – with the imposing and impressive Houses of Parliament as a backdrop.  This is the [...]

Two Gents Act 2, Scene 2 – Westminster Abbey

A short 20 line scene in a lovely place.  I was just here for the Royal Wedding and it’s much quieter here than it was a few weeks ago.  The Abbey has a gorgeous exterior – intimate and ornate.  I’ve never been inside – should have some good reason for coming back to London anyway. [...]

Two Gents Act 2, Scene 3 – Buckingham Palace

Funny thing about reading Shakespeare outside Buckingham Palace – the BBC may be watching you.  So it happened today – after reading my scene, a reporter clearly out with his headphones and microphone to do some audio interviews, couldn’t resist asking me what in the world I was doing.  We chatted for a bit about [...]

Two Gents Act 2, Scene 5 – outside Notre Dame Cathedral

Well this certainly felt odd.  There are hundreds of people all throughout the square outside the Notre Dame Cathedral here in Paris.  Many of them are lined up almost 50 yards back – about half of them are just standing there with nothing better to do than watch me, obviously an American tourist, spout this [...]

Two Gents Act 2, Scene 6 – inside Notre Dame!

Ok so this was the coolest moment in the whole thing so far, by far. Talk about serendipity. I’m traveling with my family and am not especially choosing great places to read – we are seeing the big sights and I am trying to do at least once scene everywhere we go along the way. [...]

Two Gents Act 2, Scene 7 – on the River Seine

Ah the Seine.  What a gorgeous day to be doing all this.  These boats that stop at the various touristy places we decided to take was pretty packed to the gills.  It felt shameful to be doing this somewhere no one could escape from or turn a blind ear to.  I tried not to be [...]
