Not the right quote or play for last night! We watched Henry IV (part 1) at the cinema live from Stratford with Antony Sher as a brilliant Falstaff. He was outstanding, a superb presence and great timing. We are going to see Henry IV (part 2) in August at Stratford so it will be good to compare the different experiences. We thought some of the close-ups of the actors particularly Falstaff and Percy were excellent and you wouldn’t get that at the theatre but on the down side you couldn’t get the whole stage on occasions.

With the quote above my Shakespeare story is still developing and the quote above hopefully is featuring in it. I have to perform it the first week of June.

Had an enquiry from the RSPB about doing an open air performance at a  Devon reserve on Midsummer’s Day. Got back to doing a Wick Court session on Tuesday. Children did really well although as they came from Aylesbury and frequently see Red Kites over their school it did feel slightly bizarre showing them a Swallow in the telescope.
