I walked all over New York yesterday, went along the east side all the way to Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum. The place is amazing. Not quite as good as the British Museum in my view but still a great place, perhaps the architecture is better, I wish I had longer in there.

Macbeth was amazing, same director who did The Tempest that I saw in Stratford. It had very sinister nurses as the witches and Kate Fleetwood’s Lady Macbeth was incredibly erotic. Patrick Stewart was not great actually, his monologues - particularly the dagger speech - were not as good as hers. Go here and here for 2 more detailed reviews.

Landed at 2.30pm yesterday, went straight to our Wall St office and got on with helping them move office. Went and got a bit drunk to help with jet-lag (Being bladdered and knackered in 2 time zones is better than one… or something)

Got tickets today to go and see Patrick Stewart in Macbeth tomorrow. I saw him in Stratford in The Tempest as Prospero a couple of years ago, he was superb. It’s at BAM, I am looking forward to it.

Got the weekend to myself so I will take in the sights and go to the Guggenheim. I was not excited about being here till on my commute this morning I saw a real life NYPD car.
