951 Feast for big names
The thunderous applause continued and lasted for a long time, swirling and stirring throughout the Almeida Theater. The audience stood up collectively, gradually pushing the turbulent applause to an incredible height. /tide.
Edith clapped her hands vigorously and stood up before her brain realized it. She was forgetful and excited. After being stunned for a moment, she realized that her excitement was likely to be exposed to George's radar range. He quickly and carefully restrained himself.
At this moment, she finally understood what Arthur meant, "You will like it." This simple sentence contained so much..
The figure was hidden behind the curtain of the box, and Edith secretly took a look at it..
In the box next door, Richard De Vere raised his hands high and placed them on his chest, slapping them excitedly and excitedly. At the same time, he shook his head with disbelief on his face. Every cell in his body was filled with excitement. Overflowing with joy and happiness; George standing next to him was a little stiff in his movements, especially his straight shoulders revealing his tension, but he still had to join in the applause..
“Pfft." Edith gloated and laughed. Just this scene made today's adventure worth the price..
Last time Arthur saw Elf's gaffe; today she saw George's compromise, and the two of them were even..
“Matthew, do you think Richard will ask to meet Renly? "Edith turned her body slightly and roared in Matthew's ear. The storm of applause in the theater showed no sign of stopping. Even though she was hoarse, the sound that fell on the eardrums was still sparse..
Matthew turned his head and saw Edith's impatient smile. She didn't hide her eagerness to watch the show at all. Matthew nodded restrainedly, but his answer was extremely sure, "Yes."！”
Edith agreed with a smile on her face, "I think so too." Therefore, she did not plan to leave for the time being. The show had just begun. It would be a pity to miss it. Even if she needed to take some risks, she was willing to do so..
Withdrawing her gaze, Edith glanced towards the boxes and auditorium on the other side. Today's performance was really exciting and she was fully immersed in it. During the intermission, in order to avoid George, she secretly hid her whereabouts, so she I have never taken a good look at the guests present today. Until now.
“Jesus Christ, is that Princess Madeleine-Gustaf? The guy next to her is... why does he look familiar? "Edith had already expected that there would definitely be no shortage of nobles in the box, but she still showed a look of surprise at this time..
Madeleine Gustaf, the little princess of the Swedish royal family, is ranked third on the succession list. She is "famous" in London. About ten years ago, Madeleine came to London to study English. But he indulged in partying, neglected his studies, did not do his job properly, and behaved frivolously. After only two months, he returned to Sweden in despair..
In addition, Madeleine's love affair was also a sensation. Because of the man's cheating scandal, she became the laughing stock of the paparazzi..
Today, Madeleine appeared in Andre Hamilton's box. Edith was surprised, on the one hand, because of the distinguished status of the other party, and on the other hand, because the West End of London was really not Madeleine's style; however, , considering the friendship between Andre and Madeleine, it doesn’t seem that surprising..
“Chris-O'Neal." Matthew responded, then explained, "Wall Street.”
Because it was too noisy at this time, it was not suitable for a long explanation, so she simply said a key word; however, Edith reacted immediately and showed her understanding with her jaw, "I have heard rumors.”
Chris O'Neal is a banker and an upstart on Wall Street. His family background is relatively simple and he has no accumulation. In fact, in the eyes of the aristocracy, he is a nouveau riche. Chris is just the second generation of rich people; however, his mother lives in the Upper East Side of New York. She has made a name for herself and is now a socialite - in a positive sense..
At the beginning of last year, Madeleine and Chris got together. Edith was in New York at that time. The rumors reached her ears immediately, but she didn't take it to heart. She just saw it with her own eyes today..
“Even Madeleine Gustave showed up, so next, will William and Kate also attend together? "Edith raised her eyebrows and made a joke - she was talking about Prince William and Princess Kate of course..
Matthew raised his voice and replied, "Princess Beatrice was in attendance yesterday..”
Princess Beatrice, the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew, and the seventh in line of succession to the throne.
1988Born in 2009, she has always been approachable. She worked in a department store three years ago as a personal shopping consultant for VIP customers. Now she is still majoring in art creation at university. Interestingly, in 2009, she starred in the British film "Young" "Victoria" stars as the Queen's maid, which is also the first time a member of the British royal family has appeared in a film..
Beatrice had always hoped to find work in fashion and media in New York.
Beatrice's attendance not only means that the reputation of "Les Misérables" has spread among the nobles; it also means that Renly has the opportunity to open up a gap in the royal family as an actor..
“God, I wish it had happened today." Edith couldn't help but sigh. If Princess Beatrice and George Hall met at the Almeida Theater, and then Renly was invited to appear, this would be the real year Big play. "Wait, is that Maggie Smith and Ian McKellen?"？”
“In Eton's box, Helen Mirren made an appointment for the day after tomorrow, as well as Peter O'Toole and Patrick Stewart." Compared to Edith's surprise, Matthew has become accustomed to it, Yun Danfeng spoke softly, throwing out heavyweight names one after another..
Edith was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, and nodded with a smile, "It seems that in the next period of time, the West End will be extremely lively; and George and Elizabeth will be extremely tormented. God, I really shouldn't I missed this great show. Now I’m starting to think that these nobles are a little cute..”
In the midst of the applause, Edith and Matthew's words were shattered by the collision. The two did not continue talking, but focused on calling for the actors to return for the curtain call. For sixteen minutes, tonight's applause lasted for a long time. It lasted for sixteen minutes, until Renly's solo curtain call at the end, the audience was still reluctant to leave..
The six-hour performance left too many lingering impressions.
……
Edith did not leave the theater immediately. She still carefully hid in the Dunlop's box and secretly observed every move in the box next door.——
Sure enough, Richard couldn't wait and couldn't wait to meet Renly..
At first, George tried to dissuade him, but unexpectedly, Richard even wanted to leave the box and go backstage in person to talk face to face with Renly and express his love. Only then did George panic, so Emma -Fidding and Matthew Dunlop had to come forward. After appeasing Richard, they brought Renly over..
Renly did not refuse arrogantly, he came to the box politely, without even having time to change his costume..
Renly and Richard had a great time chatting, and the two had many conversations about the plays and performances. It can be seen that Richard is a true theater lover, with unique insights, profound understanding, high-level taste, and professionalism. Not only did the conversation with the people not fall behind, but the conversation became more in-depth and exciting..
Edith was sitting in the box next door, and the conversation was extremely clear. Although she couldn't see George's expression, she could taste his depression and aggrievedness from George's silence. Such a father was really too strange, but yet It was so funny that Edith had to grit her teeth to avoid the danger of laughing out loud..
Just as Edith was thinking about when George would interrupt the conversation, drive Renly away, and end this humiliation, she heard Renly's voice saying goodbye..
“Renly! "George's extremely tight voice revealed his anger and humiliation, but he still controlled it in time and dissuaded him, "My lord obviously has a lot of opinions about the play, why don't you continue talking? Or, we can meet again at lunch tomorrow and have a good talk..”
“Sorry. There is still a performance tomorrow. It is a pity that I cannot agree to your invitation. As for now, Sir Maggie Smith and Sir Ian McKellen are in the next box. I must go and say hello..”
Both Maggie and Ian have been canonized by the Queen and enjoy knighthoods. Both actors are veteran actors who hold important positions among the aristocracy..
“Oh, of course, of course. No questions." The answer was Richard, skipping and ignoring George, and readily agreed, "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will visit the Almeida Theater again. For For an actor, the stage and performance are always the most important. I deeply understand this. Otherwise, you will not be able to give such a wonderful performance..”
After a brief exchange of greetings, Renly really left..
While Edith was thinking about George's expression at this time, the box door was suddenly pushed open. She was startled and her heart suddenly tightened. Then she heard Renly's voice, "The rats in the theater have been getting worse and worse lately." It’s getting noisier.” Then he closed the box door and walked away..
Edith, who stayed where she was, rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth: That damn guy.
After closing the box door, Renly smiled at Matthew behind him, "Don't worry, I can handle the rest." Then he raised his chin slightly and gestured in the direction of the Hall's box, " How about it? I performed well just now, right?？”
Matthew gently nodded his head in agreement, "Very good.".”
Renly chuckled and patted Matthew on the shoulder, "Please guide that furious gentleman to leave the theater, thank you." Otherwise, if George found out about Edith at this time, he would probably be angry..
