Parliament Street, City of Westminster
London, January 2008
“The Red Lion is a Grade II listed public house at 48 Parliament Street, London SW1. The pub is known for its political clientele and has been described as ‘the usual watering hole for MPs and parliament staffers’ and ‘much-plotted-in’ due to its proximity to UK political institutions including Whitehall, the Palace of Westminster, and 10 Downing Street. As early as 1434, a tavern known as the Hopping Hall existed in this location. In the Victorian era, a pub called the Red Lion standing on this spot was visited by Charles Dickens as a young boy. The current building was erected in about 1890. It has been visited by Prime Ministers Winston Churchill, Clement Attlee and Edward Heath. It is owned by Fuller's Brewery.” (Red Lion, Wikipedia)

“The 39 Steps”
Criterion Theatre
Piccadilly
London, January 2008
“The 39 Steps is a parody play adapted from the 1915 novel by John Buchan and the 1935 film by Alfred Hitchcock. The original concept and production of a four-actor version of the story was written by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon, and premiered in 1996. Patrick Barlow rewrote this adaptation in 2005. The play's concept calls for the entirety of the 1935 adventure film ‘The 39 Steps’ to be performed with a cast of only four. One actor plays the hero, Richard Hannay; an actress (or sometimes actor) plays the three women with whom he has romantic entanglements; and two other actors play every other character in the show, each occasionally playing multiple characters at once. Thus the film's serious spy story is given a comedic twist.” (The 39 Steps, Wikipedia)
