Appendix
Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This City now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
Ne’er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!
William Wordsworth

THEATRE IN LONDON
Most British cities have a theatre, but London has the greatest number. There are over 50 theatres in London’s West End, the area in London with most theatres, and about 35 smaller fringe theatres.
In recent years musicals have been very successful. About 5.5 million people, many of them tourists, go to see a musical every year in London. The best known contemporary composer of musicals is Andrew Lloyd Webber. His musical Cats is the longest-running musical.
Going to the theatre in Britain is not only popular, but also expensive. Not many young people can afford to go. It is possible to get cheaper tickets by going to afternoon performances called matinees or by buying stand-bys, half-price tickets which are sold half an hour before a performance starts.
