With a movie version currently in theaters, a Tony Award-winning play on Broadway, a novel on the best-sellers list and a past SNL parody, War Horse has completely invaded pop culture. But, it has also offered an opportunity to find travel inspiration in all of its various incarnations.

While War Horse (the movie) was filmed at several locations throughout the U.K., including Devon where it is set, none of the movie's locations is more picturesque than the village of Castle Combe in Chippenham. The small village was shut down last fall while Steven Spielberg filmed scenes for the movie outside the Cotswold homes that line its streets. ]]> cmb 2011-12-27T14:55:18-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/12/22/64953/188
Secret Restaurant: No, mystery meat is not on the menu

From the people that brought you Secret Cinema—an incomparable live theater-meets-movie screening that has taken London by storm—comes Secret Restaurant.

Like its sister project, available details about what will transpire during your time at the pop-up are skint, at best. Tickets are available for attendees of upcoming Secret Cinema performances, of which there are several in January. ]]> Heidi Atwal 2011-12-22T14:00:03-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/9/25/95424/6655

"If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price." So says Point Break's sage surf philosopher Bodhi, played by the late, great Patrick Swayze. In the case of Point Break: Live, the ultimate price means being sprayed by water guns, splattered with fake blood, and maybe forced onto the ground during robbery reenactments. Oh, but don't worry, you can purchase a poncho for $1 to shield your clothing.

If you're not familiar with the Los Angeles theater phenomenon that is Point Break: Live you're probably a little confused, so allow us to fill you in. The long-running show is exactly what the title states: a live reenactment of 1991's FBI thriller-meets-surf adventure, with Swayze's Bodhi playing opposite Keanu Reeves' rookie agent (and rookie surf dude). ]]> Heidi Atwal 2009-09-25T16:03:48-05:00 34.0906808 -118.33152 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/9/16/33148/8335
In the Old Globe’s Summer Shakespeare Festival production of Cyrano de Bergerac, Patrick Page plays the nasally-well-endowed titular character and Dana Green stars as Roxane.

If you are looking to wind down the season with one more alfresco outing, head to San Diego's Old Globe Theatre for the Summer Shakespeare Festival. The 74th annual fest offers Bard classics Twelfth Night and Coriolanus and in a break with tradition, Cyrano de Bergerac, the first non-Shakespeare play the theater has featured since it revived the festival five years ago.

The three productions rotate nightly in the Globe’s outdoor Lowell Davies Festival Theatre through September 27. This way, if you're in town for a couple of days, you can catch all three. But if you can only make a day or two, here's a rundown of the shows to help you decide which play to see: ]]> Jennifer Kester 2009-09-16T14:20:46-05:00 32.7322547 -117.15178 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
