Awake and Sing!

Continuing our theme of seeing theatre involving West Wing actors, we saw Clifford Odet's 'Awake and Sing!' last night at the Almeida Theatre in Islington, which was excellent. Set in the 1930s in the Bronx the play caputures the hopes and struggles of an impoverished and passionate extended Jewish family. The matriarch (Stockard Channing), was particularly captivating as she waged war against the threats against her family as she saw them. It was a wonderful play and I highly recommend seeing it.

It was also nice to spend some time back in Islington and eat at our favourite kebab place.
