The Mentalists

Last Saturday we went to see The Mentalists with Stephen Merchant and Steffan Rhodri. We are big fans of both the actors in the show. Stephen Merchant co-wrote The Office and Steffan Rhodri was in Gavin and Stacey and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. 

The play didn't get great reviews and it was announced yesterday that the play is closing early. I thought Steffan Rhodri was a more polished actor than Stephen Merchant, which is to be expected. Overall I thought it was enjoyable and the ending surprised me. 

This is the same theatre where I saw American Buffalo and it is as beautiful as ever. During intermission the theatres put down a safety screen for fire prevention. Most of them are plain but this one is the coolest I've seen so far. 

Our friends, Kate and Scott, also went to see the play so we got together for dinner beforehand. We tried a Knickerbocker Glory sundae, made with layers of ice cream and berries. It was good but I wouldn't call it Britain's best dessert. 
It seems that Warren misses out on most of the fun things I do in London so it was nice to socialise and spend a night out on the town with him.
