Les Miserables




The next time you are in London make sure you watch Les Miserables!








The classic novel written by Victor Hugo. One of my all time favorites! I remember the first time I read the story back when I was 8 and I instantly fell in love with it. I guess I've always had a thing for revolutions whether its for personal beliefs, love, justice or a better a life. The idea of people rising for what they believe in has quite an effect on me ;p







The play is held in Queen Theater and once the curtains open you will immediately be transferred to the 1800's. It was astonishing! 

I will not talk more about it, you must see it yourself!



But I will say this... As the play was going, I couldn't help but think of our plays back home. 6ariq Al-Ali popped in my mind and I just felt MISERABLE! I realized how insignificant and shallow our plays are. Just a bunch of people on stage making fun of one another with no point. A true shame..
