    Ella puts the “geek” in “theatre geek” as she tells us about multiple visits to the Harold Pinter Theatre in London for a variety of plays by, well, Harold Pinter. Among the cavalcade of British actors of stage and screen she saw performing were Charlie “Daredevil” Cox, Martin “Watson/Bilbo” Freeman, Rupert “Lestrade” Graves, and Tom “Loki” Hiddleston! But wait, there’s more! At theatres other than the Pinter, she had a chance to see Arthur “Rory” Darvill and Hayley “Agent Carter” Atwell! Scott also chimes in with his own adventures seeing geek actors on stage.
