Sunday 23rd June 2024 in 2024

Still buzzing from seeing “Romeo and Juliet” at the Duke of York’s last night! The whole production was fantastic, the place was packed, and the energy was electric. The way they reinterpreted the classic love story felt fresh and relevant, and the chemistry between the leads was undeniable.
One thing that really struck me about the play was the diversity in the cast. It was wonderful to see such a classic story retold with a modern twist that reflected the city’s multicultural makeup. We need way more of that in theatre. It makes me think about how much life is enriched by different perspectives and experiences. Speaking of enriching experiences, Michael’s coming over tonight for dinner.
He’s taking the reins in the kitchen, the absolute legend. That means my goal is to whip up something quick and easy to complement his culinary creation. Lemon pasta with a healthy dose of parmesan cheese sounds perfect – light, fresh, and ideal for a lazy Sunday evening. Plus, it gives me time to blast some tunes, grab a cleaning cloth, and get this place sparkling before he arrives. The flat is a disaster zone. Gym kit needs washed and the playbill is crumpled on the coffee table like a forgotten love letter.
Now, onto the most important part – movie night! We’re both craving something light-hearted and funny for a Sunday wind-down. “A Fish Called Wanda” has been on my watchlist forever, and neither of us have seen it. But there are always options… We tossed around “Clueless” (because, well, meta!) and “Tootsie” as well.
Here’s where you lovely folks come in! Any other suggestions for older, funny films perfect for a best friend hang-out? Bonus points if it’s something neither of us have seen before. We’re literally open to anything! Michael and I have a tradition of movie nights, and they’re always a highlight of my month. We sprawl out on the sofa, armed with our favourite snacks. It’s a chance to catch up, unwind, and share some laughs.
Speaking of classics, how about “When Harry Met Sally”? We’ve both heard iconic lines from it a million times (“I’ll have what she’s having!”), but never actually seen the whole thing. Or maybe a trip down memory lane with “The Princess Bride”? Inconceivable that we haven’t revisited that one in ages!
Anyway, enough rambling from me. Let me know your favourite classic comedies in the comments below, and we’ll settle in for a fun-filled evening with good food, good company, and hopefully, a good laugh!
