I will try to do better... It's been quite a busy time... had some invasive surgery which set my travel plans back a bit, but I'm back on track. Since my last post I've been on a few trips, I'm listing the plays I've seen here as a reminder to myself and will get back to them one by one.
In December 2013 London was the target, saw some beautiful things there:
The Next Room or the Vibrator Play (St James)
12 Angry Men (Garrick)
Mojo (Harold Pinter Theater)
Henry V (Noel Coward)
and Protest Song (NT shed)

Caught Coriolanus in the NT Live broadcast in between trips
Next up was a combination trip to Chicago and Los Angeles in March 2014, wonderful stuff:
Chicago:
Gypsy (CST)
Seminar (theater Wit)
The How and the Why (Timeline)
Russian Transport (Steppenwolf)
Buzzer (Goodman)
LA:
Slowgirl (Geffen)
A Steady Rain (Odyssee)
The Pianist of Willesden Lane (Geffen)
Vanya Sonia Masha & Spike (Mark Taper Forum)
Daytrip to the Ruhrfestspiele in Germany, they do great work at that festival, many visiting companies, this time they included a Beckett combination of Eh Joe (with Michael Gambon) and I'll Go On (with Barry McGovern).... pinnacle of Beckett right there in a little theater in Marl.

King Lear (NT)
Handbagged (Vaudeville)
Good People(Noel Coward)
Other Desert Cities (Old Vic)
Let the Right One In (Apollo)
and last but not least, back to London again to attend a conference for work... perfect combination of work and pleasure:
Skylight (Wyndhams)
Fathers and Sons (Donmar)
Clarence Darrow (Old Vic)
There it is, many plays to catch up on in reviews in this Blog... real life has to go on as well, paychecks need to be earned to do more traveling, so it will probably be a while before I do get caught up.
