I saw Holy Warriors at the Globe today. A very interesting fantasia about the Crusades… Not exactly perfect, the second act was confusing and muddled, and sometimes I felt that the author was trying to pile too many historical references one on top of each other.
John Hopkins was a great Richard the Lionheart: impulsive, funny, stubborn. And the fierce Eleanor of Aquitaine (one of my favorite women in History) was wonderfully played by Geraldine Alexandra.
But for me the star of the play was Alexander Siddig. His Saladin is elegant, cunning and has a huge amount of charisma (also, the man is incredibly attractive, even more in person *sighs*).
All in all, a good play and a nice day on Southwark, where I also visited the Tate Modern.
More to see and do tomorrow!
