So here's [livejournal.com profile] _doodle's report of our fabulous encounter with Benedict Cumberbatch at The Children's Monologues afterparty! :) I spent most of the time listening to their conversation, but was perfectly happy with that - after all it's not every day you get to look at such a gorgeous man and listen to his equally/even more gorgeous voice for such a length of time! (As several of us agreed at the meetup, we'd happily listen to him reading out the phone book!) Of course I'm now paying for having stood outside in the cold with having a slight cold, but as long as it won't get any worse than it is now, I'm happy.

One little additional thing I remember Benedict saying about his Monologue was that "It's a bit like doing a phone conversation" in that he had to imagine the other person and their dialogue.


I'd really like to find out where and when those "social pages" appear that we were photographed for! We think the photographer picked us because we were among the most dressed up people there! :)


ETA: Just remembered the strangest moment at the aferparty: )

Got back to my hotel a short while ago and am completely knackered, but had a wonderful evening! Met some familiar faces and some new ones at our little meetup prior to the show - sadly not enough time to talk to everyone, and we were short two people, one announced, one unannounced. I hope everyone had a good evening! The play was very impressive and powerful - and my hat off to all the actors who participated, because they only had eight hours today to rehearse with director Danny Boyle! Afterwards, [livejournal.com profile] _doodle, her friend Laura and me headed to the afterparty (we were the only ones from our group with gold tickets), and we got the book from our goodie bag signed by Benedict, and pics with him! He was so lovely! Afterwards we hung around the bar, discreetly admiring the view ;) until Benedict left, and then headed to our respective hotels too.

Will have to write down a few more details (and post the pic of me & Mr. Cumberbatch) after I've had some sleep (which means sometime after I got home, i.e. tomorrow night or Tuesday), as I'm almost yawning my head off - [livejournal.com profile] _doodle, I'll probably need your help to fill in the gaps!

Now I better roll into bed before my head hits the keyboard... night night!

Off out

ourdramaqueen: (benedict cumberbatch national lottery aw)
for a brief visit with [livejournal.com profile] serenitysangel and the Queen of Evil (who isn't so evil at all in reality *g*), and on Sunday it's London and The Children's Monologues featuring (among many others) Benedict Cumberbatch! *flails*

Have a good weekend!
ourdramaqueen: (sherlock drugs bust look)
but next week will entail a trip to our various newsstands here to check if they have the UK Marie Claire - I absolutely need a copy of their December issue!!! *drools*

I'm not sure how I'll survive meeting Benedict on 14th November. Yes, I got a Gold Ticket for The Children's Monologues, which includes access to the afterparty... *flails* At least I won't be on my own since [livejournal.com profile] _doodle and a friend of hers also got one!

Well if I didn't have to save my pennies for NZ, you bet I'd bid for this!
