Beautiful Thing in Leeds

On the 23rd of October Sam and Jodie and I went to see Beautiful Thing in Leeds. It is one of my favourite films and Sam and I saw it in the theatre - in Leeds Playhouse, the same place as this time! - ten years ago, on its 20th anniversary. I know it has its flaws but I first saw it at a very formative age and I just really love it. I saw it was touring again so asked Sam and Jodie to go back in like July or something. Then as it got closer to the time I read that the two leads were going to be played by Black actors! This adds a whole dimension to the narrative, so I was really looking forward to that. 

I had been to craft club in the morning, still working on a crochet blanket that was nearly finished, and then I chilled out in the afternoon. I set off about 5pm because I was a bit worried about traffic and also parking. There used to be parking out the back of the playhouse but now they appear to be building something there, so I had to park at Victoria and walk across. It wasn't too far though. I took a picture of the advert for the show outside the theatre before I went over to the Aagrah where we had arranged to meet for tea. I have been to the one in Wakefield but not the one in Leeds, I don't think. I was early but I had my book with me so I sat reading that until Sam and Jodie arrived. 

They have a lot of vegetarian choices, I was a bit spoilt! I went for onion bhajis which came in this like ring shape, and then vegetable korma. I feel like you rarely see vegetable korma; it's not usually there, so I went for it as it was a bit of a novelty! It was delicious!

We went across to the theatre and got seated. The Playhouse has had a refurbishment since I was last there and the seats are really roomy and comfy. The play was really good - funny and fun, but with a lot of pathos, just how it should be! Perfect! I got home quite early too, and to bed!

I had bought myself a pair of all black Converse on Vinted - I think they were about £11 all in which is a bargain. They're really comfortable and soft, I love them already! I wore them with leggings because I couldn't be bothered finding tights! I was also wearing a Simply Be dress which is also really comfy. 

All black Converse , they're in really good condition

The advert outside the theatre. It kept changing so I had to stand there until it came back round, haha

Vegetable korma, rice, and some saag aloo too

Ice cream for dessert

This was the only set - Jamie's bed slid out just to the left of the turquoise door, which was really fun. It was a good set!
