On July 20th, My friend Jennifer and myself will be in Manchester to see Kenneth Branagh once again take to the Shakespearian stage for the first time in 10 years playing Macbeth. Needless to say, I’m very excited! For not only is it Sir Ken, but playing Lady Macbeth is Alex Kingston (who speaks about here). This is also quite cool because as Whovian, how awesome is it to see Dr. River Song live an in person?

Of course, this is par for Jennifer and I. The last time we got together in the UK the entire trip was filled with Dr. Who references and sightings. And this voyage to Manchester will be coming on the heels of 5 days spent in Edinburgh where we’ll be seeing the sights and looking for monsters. And it’s also the legendary home of, you guessed it… Macbeth. Gotta love theme vacations!
