We made our annual visit to Stratford yesterday. It seems appropriate this year with the 400th anniversary and especially after our Shakespeare Tour around his birthday. We saw Cymbeline one of the Bard’s lesser performed plays. I have to confess it is a play I didn’t know. When I read the review in the Guardian I was interested that this production had changed Cymbeline into a queen, for someone who didn’t know the play I couldn’t have any view on how it changed the play! It was certainly a lively and different production, someone I heard at the interval comment it was like Mad Max on steroids!  They certainly added a comic touch to the play and I appreciated that. The supporting music was excellent and I enjoyed the performance. I now need to read up about it.

My next live event is the Test Match on Wednesday. I am very excited about this so I am keeping my fingers crossed that the weather is kind.

We had a good couple of days in Brecon over the weekend, I had forgotten how beautiful the hills are.
